Here's an example alongside your ea. the last trade i took on H1 went way up, and then tanked back down even with candlestick trailing, close on color change, etc. But if we had bbands as in the pic, the stop would have followed the ma curve all the way up to the pivot point and held my tp there.

This might be à good option, we'll discuss this!

It looks good on the chart now, but unfortunately not when trading live. The big dots aren't actually finalised until after the close of the bar after the big dot, by which time the price would have moved considerably.

Post subject:  My backtests results
I did a backtest (99% quality) on EURUSD for the whole of 2010 on 15 min, 1 hr, 4 hr, and daily TF.

Best result on daily: net profit more than 20% and drawdown less than 10%. Good result in my opinion.

I will test 2009 and 2008.

Tests were done with the latest EA in the first post and with default settings.

But I do not understand why the lot sizes are not kept constant. I did not enable any recovery.

Change risk percent to 0 mate then it should only open 0.01 lotsizes!

Have fun:)

Weird activity this morning. I had several trades open up that were totally backwards. Buy orders when candles were all well below MA. :?

I have had also seen these types of issues with version 1.38 that I do not have in version 1.33, which is why I am running 1.33 and not 1.38. I only wish, that I had a copy of 1.35 for testing. My only suggestion is that you run 1.33 and 1.38 side by side and see what happens.

What I would really like is for the source code to be held in a git repository, so we could easily diff the versions and track down such things. The next best thing would be to place a copy of each version of the source code in with the change notes.

Sincerely,

MiTija
