I cannot remember whom it was who first suggested trading PoS on the M1. Step forward for a round of applause that member. It was an act of genius.

I should have thought of it given that my mind was already turning around lower time frames than my live trading H1. Fact is, I didn't. Here is a thought that will have all of you to whom it has not occurred in the past thinking, "Why didn't I think of that?". Here goes. Every move on a higher time scale starts with a move on the M1. Blindingly obvious when you think about it.

Look at this little lot; all bar two of the trades were M1 trades:

Version 1j is in post 1. Each individual time frame now has its own lot size along with the ability to have this dynamically calculated. I do not know if this will help. I am thinking that maybe the lower time frame trades will be open for shorter periods of time and so may benefit from higher lot sizes. All we can do is play with this stuff and see.

Hi Steve,
At first a big thank you for all the good work you've done here. I have a suggestion for Peaky EAs and would like to know your opinion about it. It woud be using Renko bars instead of classical timeframes. For instance we could hace 4 different box sizes:3, 6, 9, 12. All the trading philosophy would stay the same....I like Renko charts in my personal manual trading, so maybe it could be an option.....and of course I have no idea of how much work it is for coding this option .....and if the improvement woud be worth it, so I needed just your opinion about it.
Just my two cents

Hello,

Have you tried this it in your manual trading?
If yes have you got any results to show?

Hi guys. I would just like to say thanks to Steve and everyone who has contributed so far to the creation of this great EA!

I am setting it up for the first time, and have read through the manual, but still seem to be having an issue with swaps making certain pairs not tradable...

I have the "Trade1PositiveSwapTradesOnly" set to false, yet I can see on the display that trades are not tradable due to swaps...

Could you please advise what I have missed?

Thank you.

Cheers!

Hello Matt,
