I think balls has been taking a beating this week.
Big losses for me running jth's system
I think jth was struggling too, see his post above/earlier

May not just a wolfie problem

Hi guys,
You are right Patman I have had 6 losses at $-7562.90 but the basket did hit it's TP for $3939.00 today.
The total was still a loss of $-3623.90 but not too bad though all in all. I did raise the basket TP to 15%
The ones that were losses, I started the ea for these again at London open when that came around.
Enclosed is the detailed report. as it stands now I have still doubled the account in about a month so to me that's still a huge win. we just have to see what the future hold for this system.
Next week i shall filter out the worst hit pairs and replace them with other pairs

Regards
JTH

Hello jth,

I´ve been following your experiment and have a suggestion that may help. Since the initial setup determines the trend direction at the London open, the quality of the setup will ¨wear¨as the hours go by. Leaving the trades open past the current session, the results should reflect the altered conditions at that moment, which may be very different from the initial ones. It may be that the trades should be closed by the end of the session. Of course, the longer the time the trades remain open, the higher the probability that the initial trend condition may have changed. Maybe a way to reflect the gradual degradation of the initial signal would be:

- First 2 hours after opening trades: Leave basket TP as is.
- 3rd hour, reduce basket TP by 1%.
- Reduce TP 1% after each hour and close the trades by the US close if any remain open.

If a gradual system like this works, I´m sure Steve´s genius would find a way to code it into the EA.
