Just wanted to report my 1 month data for HGBDSSFB which I am trading a bit different to others

I have set it up so that it only takes single trades when the 1W & 1D CSS are in agreement and there is a FB signal on H1. {HGBFB CSS 1D1W_1HFB.set}

I then use MPTM to set the TP and SL on each individual pair at 2.5ATR (Daily) {MPTM 3SL basket.set}

I also have MPTM set so that the Basket TP is 100% and the SL is 3%.

The idea is that the SL and TP on each pair are wide enough to give the trade room to move and it only closes if it hits the 2.5ATR TP or SL (Note: it takes quite a few days close each trade).

The 3% basket SL is there so that if a number of positions reverse all trades are closed out. I am hoping if this is the case then the 1D or 1W CSS would have reversed so there will be no more trades opened till the trend is established again (to date I have not had a basket closure so not sure about this setting yet - 3% maybe to high on a $10k demo account)).

Also note that I have removed most of the NZD and CHF pairs

Cheers Richard

I have been trying Leon's and TJF's sets and making changes here and there. Anyway yesterday morning , ianp got me thinking about his test set which is great except for the 58% DD

I believe it is a Wavegarrick set as ianp suggested. Anyway I wondered how I could use this set and reduce the DD significantly and I had an idea. What if I set a grid to 1 with Hedging true, TP 25, close hedge at 25 and basket tp 25. Basically everything set to close at 25 pips. I set the EA up and started the demo and it is a beautiful thing watching 25,25,25 closing one after another.

What happens that I have to watch for is as trades close and open new b/s stops 25 pips away it can leave the opposite stop farther and farther away from the starting price. I simply close these and the genius little BOT opens a new one 25 pips away and it's ready for action again.

here is my set :

And here is the Trade report. The first trade closed with this set was 2 hours after rollover yesterday!Which means this is about 15 hours of trading!!

Now I realize this is only 1 day and I'll have to see how it performs over a period of time and conditions. I have seen it close two hedged positions and several singles while I was typing, so we'll see.
