Peaky on Steroids

That's strange, I looked at the DD on BlueFX, and it seemed very low.

I wasn't questioning your statement about the DD, I just was feeling sorry for myself.

Thanks a lot for your reply! If possible, could you please post the sets/pairs? Thank you once again.

I will later this week, I'm swamped with work at the moment.

Attached the setfiles I use as a base, and the EA I'm using at the moment.

Just wanted to check something.

You have Trade1RecoveryProfitPips set to different values for each set file but Trade1UseRecovery=false in all of them. Is that meant to be false? Just seems unusual to change a parameter on all files that you aren't using.

It’s a leftover from before.
At first i used the recovery, with different settings, but ended up not using it.

Thanks for clearing it up.

Like I wrote a few posts before, I like to take profit regularly, and enter again at the same price.
This takes some elbow grease to enter all trades, but in the end it is worth it.
This way I booked nearly 1.000 pips on a 400 pip run, AND have another ~150pips floating positive.

Could you expand on this please? If you are closing trades for a profit and the reopening them again at the same price you closed them how are you turning a 400 pip run into 1000 pips? I am familiar with stacking where you add to the winning position, or grid trading where you add to a losing position, but don't get how you can make extra pips by closing a trade and reopening it at the same price.

Really like the way you have thought about structuring this using different settings for different pairs, very very clever.

Did you check out the chart?

On certain levels the EA fired 5 to 6 trades after a retrace, profiting 250-300 pips on the same 50 pip stretch.

Would I have sticked to the original "open on yellow, close on green", I only would have seen a whipsaw floating profit.
