Here are the results of my 2 tests for the last 24 hours. All trades closed at the time of writing this. Started both at the same time, 8 hours into the trading week.

I think using stop and limit will be more profitable in the long run, but I think I will go live with the stop only method as it will limit losses and use up less margin.

Will keep you all updated.

Trades were closed manually by the way. I think I will TRY to let them run, but it's so hard to do when you see so much profit. Live I would never be able to let them run like that!

New here and amazed and thankfull for all this great Deveopment and The Ideas behind! :good:

Here are the results of my 1 tests - running since 2016-06-03 24/7 on a 3000 USD Demo Account and 28 pairs on H4.

Running on long and short. After seeing big rebounds/waves of profit - closing most of the trades manually till now. Will change it now to let it run standalone... But maybe i'll a a basket manager to manage profit later ...

HGI V17.00, CSS True, (have to set MinMinutesbetweenTrades to 1, because of Error 130 and endless new open Trades for each Message)

Hi Pat

I have not experienced that the EA freezes.
What makes a good EA ... low drawdown, consistent profit!

A quickie for you guys using my shells to produce your own EA's. I have added a retro-fitting CSS file to my shell codes post.

Read the effing manual, ok?

Here are my result at the end of last week. Both demos lost considerably later in the week.

HGBnSixths seems to be very strong on Monday and Tuesday and then gives it all back and then some later in the week.

I'm going to keep letting them run to see what happens, however I think the best thing to do is to run Stop only orders on Monday and Tuesday, then close out before the profits are given back.

Stop and Limits I think are viable but they can eat up A LOT of margin.
