I saw that it was for a while positive then about 1-2% negative, a bit positive again and now since 1,5 day deeper in a DD.
I was wondering, since this DD is based on entry signals from almost 2 days ago, if it is possible to lower the daily profit automatically after a certain amount of time. "Sometimes it is better to go out on breakeven then to hope for improvements to be able to make it to the original TP". Especially, since the initial triggers are farther and farther away in time.
To limit risk, would it be possible to lower the daily TP after 16(?) hours to half and after 24(?) hours to breakeven (so just covering the costs)? In this way I would have been out of the trade and would have taken new entries, on more current entry triggers, and not still be waiting for the still open positions to hopefully recover.. (and it seems to go farther in DD right now..) Of course you could also gradually reduce the TP with each hour over, let say 12 hours or so... Any thoughts?
Today is NFP, markets tend to withdraw before that.
Probably this afternoon you will see the basket close.
Or go deeper in DD....

Do the 2 EA's use the same magic# perhaps?
Or does AwesomeSS looks at the totall profit on the account, without taking the different magic# into account?
Running several strategies on one account is a recipy for disaster in my opinion.
Several EA's that aid each other can be of help though.
Hi,
The magic number is different. I thought would use the total profit for the account but i checked that and the account has not reached the total profit that was setup in AwesomeSS.
I tried to setup weekly profit higher and as well on 0, but the EA still says "I have reached my weekly profit..."

what abt trying to clear global variables, n close + reopen Empty4
I was wondering EA will still manage floating orders to achieve TP (eg 1% target TP) when "margin level" drop below "MinimumMarginPercent " and whether we could add settings not to trade on Fri so that we dont hv floating orders past weekend?

I have now eliminated NZDUSD, CADJPY, USDCAD from the pair list and added 00.00-09.00 as trading hour.
Still going with 0.01 lot per 1000 lot.
Will see if this combo can avoid the drawdown.
I think the basket needs to close before 8 GMT.
I was also thinking of removing audnzd, seems the nzd pairs dont do well except eurnzd, was thinking to add GBPJPY as this pair has higher volume. Anyone using this pair pls share whats the result like
Also those not trading Friday, pls let me know how you manage that
Demo survived NFP but in exchange dd went to 11+%

GBPJPY is weak on my demo, only +4.32 USD profit out of 18 trades.
remember....
