AGT had the idea that function that lets the EA close all open positions if a certain profit reached maybe could give better results. As I lked the idea I embedded this function in the EA and did some cosmetic updates to my latest EA look..
this are the new inputs

Code: Select all

extern string   CloseAllProfitSet1="---Set this to true to close all EA positions----";
extern string   CloseAllProfitSet2="---if Profit reaches CloseAllOfPairInProfit----";
extern bool   UseCloseAllOfPairInProfit=true;
extern string   CloseAllProfitSet3="---enter here the amount in account Currency----";
extern double CloseAllOfPairInProfit=25;
Note the EA counts only its own trades on the specific pair.

You find the EA attached on the third post ----> http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 363#p83363

Hi guys,

First of all a huge Thank you to all guys who developed and improved this EA but mainly to Tomasso.

I finished and reading and later re-reading this thread and as Marco28 mentioned, I too am actually quiet surprised why more people dont follow and comment here. I like 3 little pigs system because of simplicity and logic behind it. Trading it myself from last august , first on demo , later on small account. It is performing well but I can not take all trades , some of them are triggered during my sleep. And thats how I found this great forum. I was looking for a way how to be able to take trades even if I sleep.
Its a shame I do not know much about EA's :oops: :oops: :oops:
I obviously heard about them and saw other traders using them however I am a complete newbie in this field. I spent time last couple of days to learn more , I loaded one ( from page 3 ) on my charts.

However, I am still struggling with all settings and technicalities.
I know you programming guys are usually busy but if you have a minute can I kindly ask for some assistance,please?

What parameters to set up if I want to have following rules:

Take profit : 60 pips
Stop Loss : 30 pips

Trailing Stop: move to breakeven if in profit +30 pips.


Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

I have not combed through this thread. Is anyone running any forward demos of this? It's quite a simple system would like to see how it's getting on.

Cheers

This a demo account forexdan runs since over one year with the EA..
He uses the old OOTB setting with 0.1 lot for the inital position and 0.3 for the stacking position MaxAdditionalPositions=1

AGT is the EA too since some time testing..
Cheers :)

Yes this simple thingy is doing a very satisfying job. But looking at forexdan's one year demo you can see it: a high staying power is needed !! :good:

Hi AGT :)

What do you mean by 'high staying power'?

That it has large drawdown?
