Well, just to let you Know that I have not had a losing day since 21st April.
I have had 10 basket closures in that time, 3 of them today.
I am really stoked.
I have changed my settings here & there.
I am not happy with leaving pendings on basket closure because that can leave some "higher lot size"
pendings which were part of a string. So I decided to close all pendings on a basket closure.
Seriously good stuff happening here.
Thank you Steve and Zennor

Idiot Check Code
Steve - you have a twisted sense of humor!! You know how I found this code
if (MainTradeComment == MultiTradeComment)
{
MultiTradeComment = "You are an idiot";
MainTradeComment = "Ehup, dimwit";
}
I changed the comment to
ZP-MT (supposed to mean main trade)
ZP-MT (supposed to mean multi trade)
...and like an idiot, never realized the comments were the same!!
Thanks for the idiot check.
I just loaded this up last night.
It will be interesting to see which PPoS or this one performs better when the markets settle down.

Hi guys,
yes this baby is phenomenal. On Thursday last week I started to trade my live account (TF 4H) with ZP. Up to now I have 11 global closure (delete all pendings too) and the account is 20% up.
Main trade and Multi trade are set to 0.01 per $600. TP is set to 1.5% and SL to 3%. The rest is OOTB.
Thanks Steve and Zennor for this piece of software. It is unbelievable.
Have fun
Stefan

I am not happy with your r:r. You have to maintain a constant 2 profitable baskets to make up for every 1 loser. Every time a basket closes at a loss, you have to win 3 to come out ahead.Keep your lot sizes tiny and only trade with funds you can genuinely afford to lose.Stefan61200 » Thu May 07, 2015 8:38 pm wrote:Hi guys,

I was wondering what others have been doing R:R wise on their baskets. I've been running with most of the settings out of the box, so R:R of 3:1 - even worse than what Steve describes! Is anyone running this system more positively geared - say 1:2 or even 1:3 with good results? I increased my lot size from 0.01 to 0.1 on a 10K account yesterday, and had 2 x 1% basket profits, but the 3:1 R:R has been nagging in the back of my mind as a potential to undo a lot of the good work VERY quickly. I'd be very interested to hear some opinions on the topic.

In my demo account I'm using a Risk:Reward of 1.5:1 (4% TP and 6% SL). What do you think? I'm still waiting to see how the EA manage a bad situation with these settings.pmcenery » Thu May 07, 2015 10:32 pm wrote:Hi All.SteveHopwood » Fri May 08, 2015 8:47 am wrote:I am not happy with your r:r.
