Hi friends !
In this post I share my settings for the EA FirstStrike (“FS”) I’m testing during the last 3 months. Take into account that all these settings aren’t a result of longer testing or BT’s (I never used or use nor will use back tests !). So they definitely cant be optimal ... but they are working ! It should be good if someone interested in this funny bot would tweak the settings further and share here some results ! All in all testing this weekly trading boy is a long journey

!
The FS is running at the platforms GP 8, 15, 19, 20 and 33. Of course you know, GP stands the broker “Global Prime” - the only broker I really may prefer !
I use all pairs GP does offer accept all CHF pairs. All charts are weekly, the bot is a single pair EA – you have to open all charts and put the the bot on any single chart ! Set the manager EA (sAPBM – another Tommaso’s great creation !!) on a chart you do not use at all, like gold or so.
(To avoid trouble caused by fucking continuous updating of the Empty4 use the ex.4 files only

)
Load the setfiles you find in the attached “All stuff you need” folders into the appropriate EAs. I hope I included the newest versions of the bots.
AND: Don’t forget – my settings AREN’T SET IN STONE ! They won’t guarantee success, bcz they are chosen more by chance plus based on some general thoughts only, not very professional I think ! Try perhaps your own settings, presumably they will be better ! Share them here !
Ahm … yes, I use a much higher risk in the FS, then recommended by Tommaso. I know that. However that’s bcz of early testing results did show a minimal lot size of at least 0.03 is necessary – using smaller lot sizes cause trouble for the bot in closing the baskets. I could see often enough, that the gains made in the first days quickly, couldn’t fill the allotted TP for a long time. At the end the bot lost all the nice firstly obtained pips … so a higher lot size allows to reach the TP smoothly.
Have fun !
