Hi Aussiedoc - could you possibly post that little clock and was it pips ? in the top right corner of your chart or, advise where I can grab it from. I am in Brisbane and sometimes forget London and EST times, particularly around when they change. That is a neat unobtrusive little beastie.
Thanks and regards,

I mistakenly omitted v1q from my USDCAD chart so I missed that trade. :(
AGT, it looks like you captured this trade as well.

V1q did get me in short on EURUSD more recently. The previous High SL was/is being put to the test.

Loaded v1q late yesterday my time and it opened short on the NZDJPY overnight!

Diolch yn fawn! Thanks again!

G'day Altos! ;)

'Great one day - Perfect the next' my son on Chevron Island tells me! :lol:

Please find the original P4L clock attached. I have seriously changed it's appearance (1/2 the fun) and always set the "Backgoundunderlabels = false"

Cheers :D

Rjo, I'm still demoing v1q but not getting many trades - 8 trades since 6/12 (with 1 still open which is currently at +312 pips) Overall an increase of 3.3% with more profit locked in already. I don't seem to get any of the trades you get, but I am sure that is just a broker difference.

With my own version I am trading since 12/12 ...it has taken a few more trades (15 - 11 closed & 4 currently open which combined are currently +415 pips) an increase of 2.63%.

I have found with both versions, by setting BE+2 at 50 pips and trailing stop at the previous candle high/low. This has allowed me to follow the trend and pocket most of the profit. Trades are closed purely & simply when price retraces to the previous candle high/low. Generally when this occurs it also sets up a reverse trade, so a trade is then taken in the opposite direction.

This has worked very well and I have started to trade this method (sml lots) on my live account.
I am only targeting 5% per month so quite happy with the results so far.

Hello,
Fxozgirl what is the set file you are using for this ea. I have been manually trading this method. Would like to see which is better/
Thanks,
Paul
Happy New Year!

RJo
I have a US account with two magic numbers would i be able to use the Hedging ferature?
The magic numbers do I have to switch them for each pair that I have the EA on?

When set to true, this will trail a stop (immediately after every completed candle) in the same way in which UsePrevHighLowSL enters an initial stop. Defaulted TrailingTrigger and TrailingSL to 0. Defaulted CheckTSEveryTick to false. Defaulted UseOneToOneSL to false... v1r.

By default, v1r will make takeprofit wait for an opposite entry. V1q remains posted.
Just ran v1r through my tester in visual mode and UsePrevHighLowTS is not working. Instead, it stops out at the signal bar high/low.

This is pretty much a text book example of how using a trailing stop on previous candle high/low works so effectively. Trade closed at +284 pips. This demo account is now at +5.9% (drawdown 0.54%) with one trade still open which is currently +30

Bottom line is you don't need too many of these trades per month to be successful...my personal goal is 5% per month which should be achievable.
