Hi Gertje

Its only been a month of data, so no guarantees, but I would be looking to have around $2.5-3k per pair with 0.01lots.

So for GBPJPY and EURUSD with $5k capital, the max DD has been around 8% and the return per month is around 10%

Cheers Richard

Okay, thanks.
I loaded it yesterday on the mentioned 2 pairs and added GBPNZD to it, just to see it's behaviour.
GBPNZD alone earns as much as the other 2 together, the future will tell if the DD is there to match.

During the evening, I noticed that nearly every trade closes shortly after the 1st jump of the SL, averaging 20 pips.
Did you ever try to just enter a 20 pip TP, and no BE/ JS? This might help with the speed of the totall Empty4 install.
Maybe this screws up the offsetting, I need to find out how that works on this one.

Thanks for the setfile, this gives me a startingpoint to work from.

Results for last week using V1a and same set file. Lousy week, basically wiped out last weeks profit. Broker is Global Prime and trading was 24 hours a day on 1m charts for .01 lots. Results are after all opened trades were closed. I stopped trading Friday 5 hours before NY close and closed all open trades 1 hour before close. I'll keep it running for another couple of weeks but need to find a way to stop pairs like EURAUD from losing 1100+ pips. Last week GBPAUD lost 1848 pips but the other currencies covered it. This week too many pairs had losses. EDIT: I think I'm fast coming to the conclusion that the 1m chart is a no no. I thought 28 pairs may cancel out the problems but not so. Bob

Hi, I had some strange behaviour today. When I came back home I checked my terminal and I had 16 trades closed with no reason with a demo-money loss of 140 USD. I checked the experts log. Before the closing I got tons of 133 errors while HGBCP tried to modify an order. It did this almost every ms. Then after a a few minutes it had closed all my GBPJPY positions. I am still using TJ SL200 set with some minor modifications. It´s a demo account with GP. HGBCP is working nicely with good profit, so it will bring the losses back, but trading life and getting this glitch would be a pain in the ass. Anybody noticed similar behaviour? Max

Max Error 133 is "Trade is disabled" Cannot help you more than that. You could have found that out for yourself - Google is quite useful from time to time. Guess how I found it. In response to your follow up question to all this: how the hell should I know - it is your crapform not mine.

Therefore you will need a reasonable amount of capital to trade this system. However the gains currently are around $500 per month (I can definitely live with that!). I must say that I am really enjoying this trading style. The grid trading with hedging and offseting are a true inspiration which keeps the buy/sell order grid close to the current price action A huge thanks to Steve and TJF for developing this fantastic EA

What would you suggest as a minimum balance/ dollup for the attached setfile?

BarCode, most excellent! Steve, the directional filters have ignited my mental gray matter and it's smoldering like a stack of burning tires. You've given me some great ideas on how combine HGI, CP and my ABC setups.
