spidey,

Left in your box on the botto m it says theres not sufficient margin to allow trading!
I think thats why some trades aren`t being taken!

Also your gbp/aud trade will be closed when the bar is closed

Your usd/chf chart is different then mine

A have a few questions for anybody.

On Gbp/Aud below, shouldn't the trade have closed at the change of color. I have "use close on color change" set to true.

I noticed several pairs are stacking, like Usd/Chf. What's the criteria for add on trades? I guess I didn't realize it would do that. :?
It is not supposed to stack!! From looking at your trades it will be the fact the tradecomment is different to the EA comment for each of the trades, when running the same pair on different timeframes i needed to add comment in to check as well! I'll post an update in a mo!

Rob is correct for future trades the margin filter is kicking.

Sorry about that

Mike

hmm, i was thinking about the daily profits calculation not the order count. The MagicNumber hash now allows different timeframes for same pair. The only thing i can think of is that the trade was open when you updated? This would mean you have a different MagicNumber for the trade to the EA and so the EA is not managing it, i could be wrong though. Just keep an eye on it and watch for the other trade to close. If the first one keeps going then that is the answer and close manually with a tasty looking profit :mrgreen:

Hope this helps

Mike

No worries...That's why we demo :)

Like I mentioned, I love the way it's heading. I'm up about 500 pips right now on 8 pairs so SaaaWeeeeet!

Yeah, I'm using 1.35 and here's my set file.
I'm running shakey's recovery, using previous color s/l and close on change.

The running total in my sig doesn't look very good as no positive trades have closed yet...only a couple of small losses. :?

I think when you are in big profit with a currency you just have to manually take your profit?
If you would close your trades now, you would have a nice growth:)

Yeah that is always the dilemma. I want to let them run though and see how the EA handles the closing. See if I would make more or less letting it go. For example, I'm up to +569 pips now so I would have missed that climb...of course it all may crash and I'd get nothing... :roll:
