{quote} Netgold777: The profit lock stuff is actually Forexpinbars suggestion so you can ask him as well if I am not clear.The way the profit lock and trailing lock work is like this: Think of the input StartProfitLockAt is used once. It is how you tell the EA WHEN to start profitlocking the basket. So if StartProfitLockAt=100 that means that you just told the EA to start profit lock when the basket reaches +100 pips. That is it, once that happens the StartProfitLockAt input is used no more. So with StartProfitLockAt=100 and once the...
I also tried a few other things along the way like manually setting the global variable Basket-profitlockstop_profit to a thousand. Then the next profit lock went to 2010. So I had sort of realised there was a 2:1 or maybe 1:2 ratio involved somewhere along the line. I now understand Forexpinbars logic in it being so.
Thanks again to you all for the EA and all the work that has been done on it to date and keep up the good works please

{quote} Thanks for the above Jess. Ignore the inputs, basically that was just me testing for extents, sort of feeling around in the dark for the edge of the chasm like
We have already seen some minor differences between brokers, but by your chart I see that USD is red with a value of 1, when mine is red with a value of 9 and even more weird GBP has value 4 for you like for me but they are opposite in color and that makes a huge difference.
Edit: AUD also shows opposite signal
{quote} I looked at your chart, can you please confirm you used the std settings? We have already seen some minor differences between brokers, but by your chart I see that USD is red with a value of 1, when mine is red with a value of 9 and even more weird GBP has value 4 for you like for me but they are opposite in color and that makes a huge difference.

These are my settings. Believe it is the Indi that produces the Currency Strengths at the bottom left corner. I don't tend to look at it that much so far. I am colour blind so reds, greens, browns etc, don't stand out very well for me
Have also included the EA settings for your perusal Bud
I hope this is of some assistance to you Dude/Dudette if applicaBLE

Until now we have seen low differences in the order of 1 to 3 points and that produces some differences in the signals but not so relevant and not all the time. I mean that if for example for you GBP is 4 and for me is 8, same color, it has no effects on the signals while a small difference between 1 and 2 may affect the signals.
But when the differences are so big of course they always affect signals significantly and it makes me wonder how this can be possible.
Randomness in signals means randomness in results.
Dude, btw

{quote} Keep us posted. I you guys are up to it, I recommend you use the logToFile feature. Just set the input to True. So you can show daily chart plots of how the basket moved. You will need to MANUALLY rename the file each day. The EA is only programmed to restart the log file once a week but if you rename the file it will create a new file. So since u are dealing with days, all you need to do is go into MQL4/Files find the csv file that starts with "xm7_Ccfp.." and rename it. Do this at the end of each day. It would be great if u can do this...
thank you for your help as always

Or is the broker using bigger lots?

{quote} Ok thanks. Yes it's the indi that defines the strength and it's expressed in a scale 1 to 10 with 2 different colors. Sorry you can't see them but you can deduct them by the signals. For example you have buy for GBPAUD, it means GBP is green (strong currency) and AUD red (weak currency) and what is weird is that for me is just the opposite. Until now we have seen low differences in the order of 1 to 3 points and that produces some differences in the signals but not so relevant and not all the time. I mean that if for example for you GBP...

{quote} I don't understand, if you have 1700 profit pips with 0.1 lot, this would not be 1700 GBP/USD profit? Or is the broker using bigger lots? Outstanding result though, 1700 pips...congrats!
