Looks good so far may have some legs

No more live trading this year. The DD dropped to an acceptable level so I closed everything out. Maybe I left pips on the table. Maybe the markets would have reversed again and f****d me up as usual. I don't care. I can sleep soundly for a couple of weeks or so.

I am more than happy with this return since going live on the 24th Nov.

I will leave the demos running and report as usual.

Back to live trading last week:

I still have open positions as closing them for the weekend would have halved the profit.

Since going live on 4th November:

It will be interesting to see if those red pairs remain red in the upcoming weeks. We shall see.

I just discovered something helpful when viewing chart pictures.

Click on the picture and my browser (Google Chrome) opens the pic in a separate, small window. Click on the cross in the top right of the window and it resizes to full screen size. Click the pic again and it goes small again, then clicking back on the page banishes it. This is great for those of us whose eyes are not so young as they once were.

Here is my set file folks. Remember to edit your lot sizes.

Hi folks. :hi:

Here is a slightly different set from Steve's. It uses H1 Peaky and ATR values for the grid and Basket TP.
It has banked just over 800 pips in 2 weeks.

SPB RB.set

Take care and stay safe.

Beatiful, but .... What is the drawdown over 2 weeks ? What is the unrealised P&L?
Lets Imagine now you are trading 20 pairs. To see how much is 800 pips - use stupid simple average, so 40 pips/pair in 2 weeks. Is 40 a lot taking into consideration their ADR's ?

It's not that I don't like the Peaky concept. I do. But I am scared and you should be too. :hi:

Yes, valid point.
DD is currently at 400 pips. There is plenty of spare margin and (forex Kiwi) is set to 3000%.
I've got it on a £3K GP 1:100 demo account.
I'll keep it running as is and see how it does.

I tried to set up both setfiles in different GP platforms. One platform works fine, but the other shows this message in the Experts tab: 2022.01.24 09:49:10.708 Slopey Peaky Bob Latest Version XAUUSD,H1: array out of range in 'SPB core library.mqh' (325,29).
I think the message means that an array is returning an invalid value, but I don't know why, or how to fix it.
I have run the Force Load Historical Data script, restarted the platform, and copied the entire MQL4 folder from the platform that works to the platform that gives the message, but still I get the same message.
Both platforms are version 1353 of Empty4.
I'm out of ideas, can anyone help please?
