Something for us all to contemplate when selecting our Peaky time frame: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 36#p164736

Looking for some helpful advice.
Is it possible to enter a manual trade and have SPB manage the trade steps eg. place orders at 30 pip spacing or react when price moves 60 pips in the opposite direction, just as SPB does in auto mode?
Would really appreciate any tips on how to achieve this.
Thanks & Regards

Yes it should be able to manage your manual trades.
Try it, set the magic number in the EA settings to 0 then place a manual trade in a currency of your choice and see what SPB does

Magicnumber and comment on the manual trade needs to match the settings in SPB.
Then SPB will manage the manual trades as well.

SPB had an odd week for me. (I hope I didn't bugger up my settings). The previous week was mind blowing. I had three baskets close, and thanks to the trailing stop settings the final one closed almost three times higher than the basket kickoff price derived from BasketTrailingStopStartValuePercent.

This week is deader than a door nail. Only two issues, AUDUSD & EURCAD even made it to the pending orders board, hardly enough diversity to make a respectable basket.

This beggar is not complaining though, SPB is up 82% since opening up in February.

Up 15,175 Net Pips.

Thank you Steve, Tomele and all the rest of you programming geniuses.

These weeks happen. They are wonderful.

These weeks happen. They are a bummer.

You wait until you have experienced the third kind. That one will drive you nuts.
