Try with bigger SL

case 130: Error Invalid stops
Check if broker is ecn or not

Would the error imply that the broker is ECN but the setting is not changed to true? Or would it mean the broker isn't ECN and the setting is set to true?

If you set CrimIsECN to true and your Crim is not ECN, would this result in an error or just use 2 steps to put in your order but still function properly?

Thanks for the clarification!

What I believe will happen is second option:
If you set CrimIsECN to true and your Crim is not ECN, this result in just 2 steps to put in your order but still function properly

For some weird reason, I'm not getting any trend trades on my EA. Maybe it's the result of my figitting with the code. I'll look into it,.. or is there anyone else with the same issue?

Anyway, experimenting with the JSL for 10.3, I see 5,4,8 combo working well for me. Can others share what works for them?

Today, the EA has sent 5 orders all of them were LOSS.
You could see that BBBE has tried 3 times to trade AUDNZD, and each time No SUCCESS

remember that 10.3 is a trading idea that many do not trade Mondays. BBBE is doing what it was told to do but cannot predict reversals & does not know that AUD is volatile at present due to imminent RBA announcement.
Suggested before that Bobs management skill is the 10.3 winner, not the method per se and no EA can duplicate that. BBBE assumes knowledge of 10.3 scalper thread. Over time & many trades it may prove +ve but not on any particular day.
If you had taken opposite trades across std pairs Monday, DO to DPP with a 20 pip SL you could have taken >430pip in 1 day. Price hits DPP >80% of time, going away from DPP needs careful management & protection.

Hello, Eff and Lifesys,

A little observation and understanding of 10.3 scalper. As per name itself suggests, the 10.3 is a scalper and by that what I understand having seen the 10.3 and some other scalpers at work is, scalpers attempt to take trade with a very high probability rate, a little larger lot size that usual - (or may be not !) - , and quick in & out. Studying Monday's trades at a glance, one can see the price on most pairs, if not all, we either pullbacks or ranges. That scenario is not conducive for scalpers and that's why 10.3 ought not to be traded in such market conditions such as yesterday. My 10.3 was up too with full guns blazing and took a nice beating similar to Eff's.

An alternate reasoning would be that it's the first day in the new DWM series where Markets are just initialising for the events ahead for the month.

Just my 2 cents.

Hello,

BBBE attempts to submit hedge trades. My broker (Cowboy IBFX-US) doesn't allow hedge trading. No code in BBBE that addresses hedging!
