How many trades are set to enter recovery? 3?
Then the 3 trades in totall [together] need to be +30 pips in the green before PoS closes the recoverybasket.

I'm really falling in love with this way of trading/ EA!
Some manual intervering, some manual entries and good progress. :smile:
Today I made over 5%, mostly with recovery trades hitting their 25pips.

What I'm really kind of proud of is this manual entered trade on the GBPCHF D1 chart;

Really curious how this one will work out.
Only some 400pips to go....... :jump:

Just thought I would share this,

Forgot this account was still running *SMH :roll:
  • live account
  • zero human intervention
  • increases the balance by an average of 1-2% daily
  • nearly hit 50% drawdown
It's still chugging along. Currently at -6.8%, if it hits $400 i'll increase the lot size.

I'll leave it to work its magic regardless of which direction it ends in :smile:

I have 4 trades set to recovery, but now i see its no problem with JPY pairs, but setting TradeCloseOnOppositeSignal maybe little collide with TradeUseRecovery.
No problem.

Has anyone run this live longer than 6/8 weeks?

Me. But only on the M1 using thomasmore's 4 pip TP idea. It requires a lot of patience when a pair does not go in your favour immediately and you really do not want to get caught on the wrong side of a high swap pair.

The account listed up above was using the same set file but there is a minimum account size for this EA to run safely. ( it blew up hehe)

Yes, me also.

I started with the OOTB settings, discovered that M15 gave way to much DD, and focussed on H1 and H4.
Later I added the D1, and am now in the process of unwinding the H1 trades to stop trading this TF as well and continue with H4 and D1.
A few pairs ignored their 'ceiling', and blew through on H1, causing big DD on top of the DD created by H4.

Also, I lowered the lotsize from 0.01/ $1.000 dollup to 0.01/ $2.000 dollup.

Recovery set to kick in at 4 trades/ 25 pips, so I get at least 100 pips when the recovery is cleared.
When 'just' 3 trades are opened, I set the TP of the 2 additional trades to the openingprice of the original trade, to get 150 pips AND having the original trade run its course.

All in all not a hands-free operation.
I'm up 25% in 6 weeks.
All times are UTC Page 28 of 97
