Gertje, you write this: "I make 1% a day on average and use way more conservative settings;"

Read the effing manual, ok?
Afterprime is the official SHF broker. Read about them at https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=175790#p175790.
I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.
Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. pianodoodler@hotmail.com is the account.

I can because I use a different magic number for each timeframe and I can see in the trade comments which TF triggered the trade.Gertje » Sat Jan 06, 2018 10:05 am wrote: You can't keep track of which trade belongs to which basket running 3 timeframes in parallel.
.
Anyway, I will see how it goes, if running multiple timeframes becomes a problem, perhaps I will have to modify the code and disallow the opening of trades by more than 2 timeframes.
Or like I have done in another EA i will make the PoS change its own trading settings on the fly ( lot size, TP, Distance etc) (depending on the number of open trades, DD etc).

Like Bob says; "trade to trade another day".
There is nothing more true than this.
High returns come with high risk, high risk in forex is a blown account.
I prefer lower returns over a blown account every day a week, and even twice in the weekend.

You are preaching to the converted here
I agree 200%

The linked account shows a weekly growth of 5,5%.
It's still a young account, little over a month but I have good faith in the strategy.
