Yes I had BETP set but trade closed with a 0$ profit. I checked EA's setting afterwards and BETP was set to 10. Don't know, maybe I loaded EA with bad setting (BETP=0) and then changed, or maybe it's just better to stay away from that Jack Daniel's bottle...al3xx wrote:
I don't use hidden pips myself so for me "hiddenpips=0" too.
For the breakeven are you setting BreakEvenTargetProfit ? Mine is usually set at 5.
I discussed previously in Steve's thread about the mutiple trades opened after the first stack trade. The fix for that is on the way.

And yes, I've read your posts about multiple trades, for now I wil set Maxstacktrades to 3, so to grant some feedback but still limiting damages. I just loaded the EA on basically every possibile pair, but I have some residual positions from old version so new action will be limited.
It immediately took two sell trades: audchf and audnzd.
(I had no previous position on those pairs because old version had SWAP filters on. New one has SWAP filters off so EA had the possibility to pull the trigger...)
It' OOTB exept for:
- Maxstacktrades=3
- stoplosspips=0 (first stop loss equal to S1/R1 or S2/R2 depending on the pair)
Second one i believe is especially important: I don't like the idea of fixed stop loss pips, I love to get (or believe to get
) a little edge by placing stop loss close to a reasonable support/resistance.In fact I'm actually not satisfied even with the stoposspips=0 setting, that places stop AT S/R: I believe stop should be placed "under/above" the support/resistance, so to have a bit of margin (a little gap from the "hot zone" + some room for noise). I would use maybe a 8 to 12 pips margin, anyway it's a variable that should be tested a little bit...
