No, that's the open orders (DD). The H1 shows 600+ pips banked, and the M30 1800+ pips. At the moment after the H1 took a hit, it shows 45 pips profit and the M30 still over 1500. In the toprightcorner of the pics there is a indicator showing the daily profit in pips, $-value and %. The topline shows open orders, the second line shows today's profit. |

Understand that. It is just that I will not be able to face that kind of DD on my live account. |

That would depend on the size of the account. 62 trades are contributing to that dd, so that is less than 30 pips per trade. A basket like that can turn around in seconds. Still think he is bonkers mind, just not as bonkers as you might imagine.   |

Account size and Ball size.  I will stick to my 0.01 lot trades. How did your trades do today? I also closed early for a few pips profit. And will try again when Asia opens. |

You mean leaving aside this post earlier: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 28#p102128? It never ceases to astonish me that people will read absolutely everything in a thread however pointless and idiotic, yet steadfastly refuse to read mine. Don't expect to be up to date with the latest developments if you cannot be arsed to read my posts. How can I put this? I know. I am developing the damn robot, so don't expect to be up to date unless you keep up with me. Added a few more pips since then, so up +146 for the day and 42 for the week. Mind, the current group of trades are at -250, so the damn basket better turn around pdq. |

Yes I meant since that post. I also took profit around the same time and did not trade for the rest of the day. Hopefully the rest of the week will produce fireworks. |

Hmm. So Thursday/Friday were raining pips. Do any market behaviour geeks have the answer to the difference in the market conditions at the end of last week versus the beginning of this week, and then if it can be quantified, can it be filtered? Yes I am talking b*llocks, I'll close the door on my way out!  |

Actually, is has kind of rained pips today - those 146 I made today would represent a lot of cash at $10 a pip. I can dream.  As of now, my live trades are c. -250 into dd, but there are 8 trades, so that is only an average of c. 30 pips per trade. How often do we have successful trades that don't go that much into the red before pulling themselves together and behaving themselves? It does not take much to turn that around. We shall see. |

Hi Pipstubborn I used this one. Just note that you have to set Open Orders and Closed Orders to True/False depending on what you want to look at. I have both set to True so I can determine overall Profit/Loss Kind regards Rapple |

Just notice a phenomenon that when I change time frame from H1 to H4 then back to H1, some of the arrows disappeared upon which position has been entered based on the signal, particularly if you are trading multiple positions. Therefore when you eye ball the chart history, it looks much better than reality. See attached charts which is taken just before and after a time frame change. The first, third and fourth arrows disappeared. I am trading two positions and the first and second arrows have been acted upon with long positions. If the EA is set to trade five positions, all five long would have entered. However, after refreshed the time frame, only two positions appeared to have entered. So this looks much better than reality in history when you eye ball the chart. Just for information if this is not known to you guys. |
