So mostly, from wednesday on, I left HGB'nG trading 10 pairs, OOTB, but trading the thursday candle enabled and breakeven and jumpingstop disabled.k3v1n0s » Sat Mar 05, 2016 2:48 pm wrote:Thanks Steve for allowing me to somehow contribute.
Those are my results this week on my live account, and I was playing around (trying different settings) until tuesday evening.
Should I consider leaving my day job? Just kidding.
Let's be patient and humble.
Cheers,
Kevin

Nope, after tuesday evening (and that's when almost all the action of this week happened) I left HGB'nG handsfree, closing out trades by himself. Before that, I was closing manually and trying different settings.
Cheers,
Kevin

---------------------------------------------------------------------
I know some of you are interested in my multi-pairs un-interfered with demo:
This is one week of trading.
HGB is loaded onto all the pairs offered by the 'Open Charts in Alphabetical Order Indicator'. Start balance $5,000 so lots 0.05. Current balance $6,160 but the open position takes the equity down to $5915. There are some 0.06 lot trades in there, so the equity has also been over £6,000 at some point.
Amazing to see the pips generated by just 5 trades across the three best performers. Time to expand the pairs on my live account, methinks.
I am beginning to hope that we might attain the holy grail of an EA that can be left mostly to its own devices. Would that be a triumph, or what?
I had noticed that replacement grids were not always being sent as required, and had used the grid-send/remove the ea feature a couple of times on Friday to replace them. I assumed I had something wrong in my own settings and was going to investigate this weekend.Code: Select all
