Sounds like A Plan to me.

This raises a good question, too. Anyone from the US either: 1) found a way around the restrictions; 2) found an overseas criminal that will both accept their account and is not a fully signed-up member of the Russian Mafia?

:D
FXDD still offers hedging. I'm not sure how they do it, but I've used plenty of hedging strategies on my live account. I also use FinFX as an overseas criminal and they seem to get good ratings. I tend not to blame the criminals for my losses because... well most of them are self inflicted lol.
Cheers. I have linked this post as well.

Thanks.

I have no plans to implement a stop loss, as I think the existing exit strategies will do the job. I can easily add one if further testing throws up a need for it.

Will do.

Latest update in post 1 for the weekend backtesters. Please read IncrementalLotMultiplier in the MM section.

Incidentally, run quick and dirty backtests using M1 open prices in ST. They are great entertainment with this bot.

One more update in post 1 - positively, definitely the final one for now. Possible. :lol:

I have added the adaptive cash tp feature - read CashProfitPerLot in the section about closing a successful basket.

That is all I can think of for now. What we have to do from here is forward test the bot to see what further adaptations are necessary. As Whip said, this looks like being a fun week.

I am reading through from the start of the thread, to see what I missed or have forgotten.

Remember this post http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 9029#p9029 from early on?

I will add TradeSunday, TradeMonday etc inputs so that initial trade sending can be disabled on bad days.

Hello everybody,
could someone please help me to understand the MM ?
Lot: 1, LotsPerThousandsOfBalance: 0.01. On an Alpari-UK Demo Account with 5.000 $ balance should the lot size be 0.05, right? But the ea started with 1 lot for each buy and sell trade.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks

I just had the same thing. Didn't happen on my development machine which started new initial trades after closing an existing basket.

On my trading machine, the ea added a new trade to an existing basket at 1 lot, rather than the MM-calculated lot.

So, defo a bug there.
