4xtn is doing the same.

Thank you! If you don't mind, could you please share the setting file? Thank you once again.

I don't have a set file like that, I simply saw what 4xtn was doing and I thought of sharing my findings.
I looked through his trading results from the link he provided.
There are advantages in trading the 1min but usually the draw down is a problem.

I will later this week, I'm swamped with work at the moment.

Correct-o. M1 timeframe, positions closed by milanese's basket manager.

Thanks 4xtn!

Whats your thoughts on using this setfile on another timeframe (M5, M15) ?

Cheers,

Nick

Hi 4xtn
I wonder if your drawdown would have been considerably smaller if you had enabled bas2 symbol basket trading.
Because this feature would give the EA the opportunity to close individual pairs which are already in drawdown and can potentially cause problems.
Enabling this feature will delay your Global basket closure but you could lower your TP target.
Why did you set up your TP to $100?
It is much easier to reach a target of $25 or $50

Cheers

That's strange, I looked at the DD on BlueFX, and it seemed very low.

Historical DD on fxblue always seems to be wrong. Certainly is for every EA I am running.
