All 3 baskets closed for a nett gain of 304 pips.
Too bad the GBPXXX pip-value sucks compared to XXXUSD.
Will continue testing next week, aiming for 100pips basket closure for each pair using 0,02 lots/1.000

The normally psychotic GJ may have driven us nuts last week by going to sleep for about three days, but I still managed a decent return:

Another week like this one and I will adapt a version of GW specifically for here. In the meantime, I have taken the liberty of putting GW and an appropriate set file in post 1.

Bloody hate weekends.

I feel your pain Steve regarding the weekends.....

Since all the trademanagers are cpu-hogs, I decided to be happy with "just" 100 pips a pair and raise the lotsizes instead.
Friday closed a 100pip basket on all 3 pairs; GBPJPY, GBPAUD and GBPNZD.
Added 4% to the balance.

Looking forward to next week......
