This bot performed extremely well this week.

I was messing around with the setup of the bot week ago, can't remember if this is OOTB or not. Will post the setfile if anybody's interested. Pairs are on the results. As always, GBPJPY is a biggest winner.

I took basket trade approach, with manual closing of baskets - missed only two spikes. I wanted to use sAPBM, but from my experience it's better to put in some effort every time and check out the market conditions and close basket if necessary, instead of just waiting for the basket to hit the TP and getting in drawdown.

Mind that this is demo, i wouldn't trade as aggressive on live. Drawdown is pretty good, but margin went ~400%-ish at one point, which is rather dangerous.

EDIT: Using latest version, upgraded during the week.
Global Prime Demo, 1:100

I've run compare on the files and its Steves H1 D1 setfile with 0.2 per 1000 (my usual HGBnD testing setting) instead of fixed 0.1 lot and magic number. Setfile attached.

Sorry for confusion, i got 15 or so terminals running and can't remember what is running on every each one of them.

I am liking this very much:

XAUUSDH4.png

That is 0.1 lots on the 5 pairs listed - no grids etc but taking fresh FB signals. Trading time frame is H1 and SS D1. Demo started with $10,000.

I did not restart the demo after those early losing closures caused by incorrect coding. I also had some EU losers when I had not set up the EA's SS inputs correctly and before I noticed the coding bloop that was causing a grid to be sent even though I did not want one. I had a bunch of sells open when the bot should have been buying.

I have put a template into post 1 that will set up your charts as I have mine, for those of you who want to try trading this way. There is no shortage of trades, so no need to set up every chart that blinks.
