How about when we get StochtomoveSL triggered, instead of complete breakeven we add some pips to this? That's my only annoyance, is that I have a TON of trades that close for 0 profit. Seems like a waste of energy and risk to trade just for a breakeven result.
Otherwise, I am liking what I see so far, which is why I haven't upgraded to the later versions yet. Thanks for sharing this phil

that's why i have only select pairs with strengh movement and use a set of 3 trades. In case of total retracement, just the last one is closed = 0 and the others with 1*DeltaPipsInterTrade + 2*DeltaPipsInterTrade.

also to avoid this, you have to set DeltaPipsToMoveSLonStochOBOS with enough pips !

I will do some FT test next week with x pips +/- for SL = OPEN and post result.

Anyway, very good results OldTrader no ? :o

Hello everyone,

I know that over 50% of my Trades that ended in loss would have benefited from a Trailing Stop.

What do you think of no SL and just Trailing Stop Loss trigger?

Just a thought.

Regards,

Pippa :)

Thanks Phil for sharing this EA and all others involved here.

I have had MM quietly running on an Alpari Demo, but have manually intervened from time to time when I see some nice profits I do add a trailng stop. It has been running pretty good so far, I will watch it more closely next week as it seems to be a great little system.

On a $600 demo it is up 43%

Cheers
Marlene

oops, so much for keeping up with testing with friday close on. it appears the ea didnt adjust for DST, so market closed at 2100 when trades are supposed to close I guess. Hopefully they wont close on market open, as that kinda defeats the purpose :)

Hello to All,

as promised, the vote of the Belgium jury :

Cowboy IBFX Austr demo, no manual intervention, updated from 028 to 033, that gave a bit mess of unvolontary closing of orders. Pollution of an other ea, dbm, was running on the same account.

Fixed lotsize of 0 .1 stlot , 1 pips = +- 1 $.

Hope its readable,

Cheers to all and have a great we.

Henric

Hi Phil,
Is your windev/Empty4 demo using breakeven ??

I also have a lot of trades closing on BE, in your demo history you dont have any BE trades..?

Best regards
