I had 8 winners and 3 losers for a 92 pip profit. My problem was I had 2 trades that triggered and then ran for the SL. I also had two trades reach almost the TP line reverse to the TS and then move on back, love that Empty4 criminal software. Otherwise I would have had a much better day. I also do not like the TS because it will take trades out early. I prefer a jumping stop that stops at a minimum profit. Steve is designing one for just this system. I want the jumping stop to improve my trading ration from 1.5:1 to 3:1 or more after price moves into profit. His MPTM at the present wont do what I want it to do so he is developing another one now. Then some of these trades will show bigger profits. I can spend over 4 hours away from my computer at times so if I am going to trade bigger lots and sizes than I normally do I need to protect my account.

I see you got thumped on the same 3 AUD pairs I did too.
Maybe you would like to use the Stealth Manager from fxtr51 in FF. I am using it and it works very well. You have everything you need. But be careful with spikes when you run it with hidden SL/TP. As it works with DLLs sometimes it does not trigger the hidden SL/TP so fast. What I do is during news is that I am not hiding my SL if the PA is close to it or I do not trade during news

.
