Can't help you out, beside the fact I couldn't code a single line even if my life depended on it, I use MPTM to add the ATR-TP.

Same here. All my JPY pairs are setting a TP of 0.8 pips immediately after opening, and the other pairs have a random TP ranging between 78 - 84 pips.

I have set up SBB to trade the pairs as is and not as a basket of trades
I have set 'Trade as Basket' to false and in the Trade management module have set Basket Cash Sl as 2.0 and Basket Cash Tp to 2.0 also... and am using 0.01 lot as a test.

My problem is that the Trade for EURAUD is :-
Price in 1.45391
SL 0.000
TP 2.47991

That seems to be an awful lot more than a £2 Take profit, and why no SL?

The other trades are showing similar random TP figures. AUDUSD is showing 0.00 in both TP & SL

Am I doing something wrong in the setup ?

Thanks

Hi Stig,

I have set 'Trade as Basket' to false

That way, the BASKET TP/ SL won't work, and you need to enter these values the "TP pips" and "SL pips" fields.

Best,
Gertjan

Has anyone come up with any new set files besides the ones on page 1? A set file with stochastic settings also would be great. In the meantime I will continue to try different settings myself on different time frames.For me it still seems like h4 has least amount of draw down but want more trades so may switch back to m30. Thanks

Yep. Don't do it live until you have lived with the dd for a few months and know that both you and your account can handle it.

I find myself wondering when people will start taking notice of the time frame traded by the guy who coded the ea and wrote post 1 in the thread and would not even bother to have nightmares about trading a lower time frame. Yeah, we all know he is a dimwit, but maybe just for once he might, possibly, conceivably know what he is talking about?

Naaah. Daft idea.

Take no notice of me. The OP is clearly an idiot.

:xm:
Read the effing manual, ok?

Afterprime is the official SHF broker. Read about them at https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=175790#p175790.

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. pianodoodler@hotmail.com is the account.

steve's h4 setfile at the bottom of page 35 so far is working great, and the trading is not too infrequent either so far on my demo. give that one a spin

Thanks, the h4 setfile on page 35 is the one I am currently running.
