Three MultiPair EAs for a Sunday Evening

Thanks for the insights mackaozy!

You mean in post 1, as in "defaults"??

About the DD, how to you act on a certain pair that may be opened with several trades and no sign of getting back into blue? Would you consider or do anything to close manually? or just let the EA do its thing?

I'm not sure what's the criteria the EA uses to say "ok, enough, let's take a hit" so this is why I'm asking

I'm not at my PC at the mo so can't share my setfile. But I have it set up as in post 1.

I have it on a 100k demo set at 1lot that is it. I did think I'll try and change the lots size every £1000 of equity increase. So £101,000 I set at 1.01 lots. But my equity was increasing so fast I couldn't keep up, so I will just increase it 0.1 for every £10,000.

That is it. Simple. I will set up another demo 0.01 for every £10,000, or maybe 0.01 for every £5,000. And just leave it on auto.

I have it on the 1hr timeframe. But that's irrelevant as Jose would have hard coded the timeframe in the ea.

I may change the new series to 1000% margin as I get nervous when I see my margin below 1000%.

Hope that helps.

Yep as default. I haven't closed any trades manually. I will just test it on auto and see how it behaves. It's a grid ea so the idea is to average back into the trade and close off the basket with a profit. I think he has set a hard stop of 500 pips.

Hi AnotherBrian,

My apologies - I didn't realise that I hadn't set the permissions properly on the demo. Will fix it up when I am at home this evening.

I'm trading 0.1 lots on a $10K account, which is equivalent to JL's initial recommendations (ie: 0.01 lots per $1000).

Cheers

Does anyone have Jose's email address as he appears to have been banned from this forum.

I have obviously missed something, what happened with Jose? I haven't been on the forum for a year.

He abused his moderator status by opening up my wrup thread in the Lounge to post a whinge about not being featured in the latest.

I was thoroughly annoyed with him a couple of weeks or so ago, when he deleted all his previous threads without warning. I let it pass - a mistake that I am not repeating. Another prima-donna member has found this to his cost.

I have taken over this thread and unlocked it so that members using the EA's posted here can discuss their progress. The ea's cannot develop further as we do not have the source code, but SHF members are free to discuss usage of what they do have.

Cheers
