{quote} Totally agree - yesterday was under around 130 pips at one point before it turned. On live account I wouldn't let that happen and would probably have taken a loss. What they don't understand on the thread is that to run 28 pairs with a 200 hard stop you need a serious account balance.
i'm still crunching numbers to fit this kind of rock and roll system .....

Problem with this sort of system is your deep under water from the start with spread.

Now that is odd too as I got washing on the go and waiting for a plumber !! And could do with cable to collapse.

That is the Stones best video they like..
In theory basket trades can work but to have so many trades running,less is more..
Like martingale, in theory it works, to make it work you use very small bets, so you hardly win and then have prospect to get wiped out.

This is very true.
But the value of the advisor is that it takes away the need to make a decision on whether or not to enter a trade. It takes the decision for you on preset criteria.
That's the interesting bit. How the trader manages the trade from then on is down to the individual and that of course is where the money is made and lost.
In some respects we are into hedging here.

i agree totally, getting your entries automated is brilliant but it is the amount of trades which is worrying. i know you can basket pound/dollar. swiss franc but if you use big bank to basket you may as well play the counter game.Just saying lol

The amount of trades is controllable - I have it set to a maximum of 8 pairs at 1 lot per open. Running leverage at 200 this takes up around 50% of a 10k account. Imagine running all 28.

Not a Stones fan but like some of the the slower ones - Angie always a favourite.

Cable got some recent lows to break but all going to plan so far for a Friday.

Hi Kennyxox and welcome,
We actually have strayed from the original E/J Daily Break method, but ask questions.
Mainly with my method i trade off lines/breaks at specific times mainly after the UK open.

yep, that is what i was getting at, less is more. Preferably for me 1 pair is enough. With your 8 pairs that is a good basket...
