Above 4 examples of the way I'm trading PoS at the moment.
Of course I can show charts with lots of DD, but in my opinion it will turn around eventually.
Today I made 3,5% on the recovery of just 3 pairs.

Sometimes I wish a pair goes in DD to trigger the recovery before going 'my' way.

Recovery is very profitable when the markets eventually turn our way.

Steve,

A question about the working of the recovery.

Is it right that a trade will be closed by PoS when it returns to the opening price after being well into profit?
See below, this single trade was closed with the same message that comes when the recovery thingy closes a basket of recovery trades.

To overcome this, but still being able to use the recoverytrades [fill the gap], would it work to disable recovery in every active timeframe, and able the fill the gap feature?

Of course I need to set TP manually for the recoveries in this case.

:hi:

I don't know Gertje. To be honest, I do not understand your question.

Okay,

It seems to be an isolated incident, since other pairs retraced far enough but didn't get closed out.
I'll keep an eye open and ask again if needed.

My global basket closing is not working as I expected...so I must have screwed something up...
I have it set to 10% as I'm using on a small live account, but it seems to be kicking in at about 1%.
Has anyone else experienced this.

Here's the setfile I'm using.
