I didn't....

Nope ... no profit this week so far. Had a closure due to 1% basket sl. Settings: everything false, except basket traiding with 1% sl and 2% tp.

I experience some unexplaned closes today, see attached;

USDCHF.dmaH1.png

I have CSS set to true/ true but don't see the change in direction on the CSS.

Suggestions anybody?

Can't say anything without knowing what the trades were.

I did notice that the trade closure function did not first test to see that MaPeriod > 0 before using it as a trade closure criteria. Fixed in V 1j in post 1. You do not need the update if you are using the MA.

Hello all,

After observing the behavior of FB for the last week.... I noticed that individual trades would close at certain SL levels. Is there a setting I am missing to disable this feature? I looked through the options and I had no SL settings set to true.

What I am looking for is the ability to force FB keep all trades open until basket clears....boom or bust.

Thanks.

Hope this helps

Trades are sent without a take profit or stop loss. Losing sequences will ultimately close if the H4 240 MA trend definition changes.

Besides all the (necessary) discussions about the Empty4 crap: what about the trading results the FB gave today ? It seems perhaps the switch to higher TF doesn't help much ? Looking my numerous FB accounts it was a nasty day ?

Yes, the FOMC minutes caused a strong move in the markets late on, and unfortunately the move was against FB's open positions. Oh well, c'est la vie.

It was a nasty day looking at things. Been some strong moves against the trend this week. Bound to hurt the trades. I have a 15m 30m and 1h demo running ootb since start of the week. 15m and 30m gec's today but not the 1h. I'm not running all pairs, majors and crosses with only usdjpy the only jpy pair.

I'm expecting corrections of the corrections will straighten things out

The demos I am TRYING to run are down around 120 pips actual loss. I just started them Monday.

Three of my clients keep closing, guess cause of the memory leak or what not. Anyway this week has not been good for me.

Yup, my M15 demos are destroyed, H1's are barely hanging in there. I'm probably going to restart with a better choice of currency pairs to trade with instead of using all the pairs offered by my broker.
