Keep on posting

what Stop Loss do you use?

500 pips SL and TP. Rest OOTB.
You don't want a runner stopped at 100 pips, so basically let SB do the closing.

I added a new post and got Tommaso to move it to post 2. You will find it informative.

Keep going. You are being most helpful.

Had an hour to kill and ran all 26 pairs through the meta-tester (I know...) with last week's data with an averige spread of 5 pips.
In totall I got an growth of 66% with all positions closed on friday.....
Pair profit ranged from -/-2.5% to +/+10.4%. The biggest loser was because friday-closure, it was positive before.

Can't wait for markets to open, who invented no-trading weekends?

Some dimwit with a sick sense of humour.

Question for my friends in Upside Down land. We already have a Friday stop trading hour and I am adding a Friday close all trades hour. Do you need a Saturday equivalent?

Maybe a silly question: I use default lotsize,0.01,but still the EA opens trades with higher lotsizes,why?
Haven't opened a trade with lotsize 0.01...
Looking forward to next week

Your broker probably doesn't allow 0.01, so SB adjusts to the minimum lot size.
