Thanks a lot Steve. I am going to give this a try on my live account.SteveHopwood » 30 Jul 2017, 11:27 wrote:I would never have believed that shooting for a 4 pip TP on the M1 could be successful until thomasmore posted about it, but those pips just keep rolling in.
I would usually post my own account but I ballsed up last week when I loaded the latest onto my VPS and forgot to turn off opposite-signal closure. I had two pairs in Recovery and in the face of an opposite direction signal, so PoS obediently closed them.![]()
Here are the live trades from Gareth's account during July instead:
Many of you will recall that Gareth is a much loved former victim with whom I am still in close contact. I funded a live GP account with $500 and have slowly built this up to just over $900. Trading PoS on the M1, shooting for 4 pips might be a way forward for those of you with your tiny starter accounts. I have attached the set file from my VPS to get you started quickly and easily. Please post your results if you are successful, to encourage others to try this.

Hi guys,
I'm running version 1n of PoS, which I assume is the last version with all the known bugs fixed....but on EURNZD I still have currently : OP_SELLSTOP order send failed with error (130):invalid stops
Any ideas on what is wrong ???
Thanks

At some point soon, I will add the fix that Gary created for Awesome. Live with it for now and adjust your trade buffer pips inputs.Javajames » Tue Aug 01, 2017 3:42 pm wrote:Hi guys,

V 1o is in post 1. Gary just sent it to me - he added the price check code he devised for Awesome to try to overcome those error 130 messages.
Thanks Gary.

:not all brokers allow a takeprofit of 4 pips if you use PoS M1.set, it seems as slippage is 0 the pending is checked as a real order and at my broker stoploss and takeprofit have a minimum distance of 50 points, so with moving TP from 4 to 6 pips 99% of the 130 errors where gone only EURNZD stayed for an unknown reason.SteveHopwood » Tue Aug 01, 2017 4:00 pm wrote:At some point soon, I will add the fix that Gary created for Awesome.
