PC your thoughts about a JS of 100?
Gertje would I be correct in assuming you are on 100:1 leverage and do you keep open positions over the weekend?
Yes and yes
@ Gertje: May I please know if you keep all positions open over the weekend, or just the ones that are going your way? Thanks.
All of them, I accept the risk when opening the trade and let the trade handle the closure on it's own.
I check the trades in the evening, around rollover, chuck my head over this simplicity and continue doing what I was doing..... :smile:

And quite right too.


Guys, you are either in for trend trading or you are not. You cannot bear to leave trades open over the weekend - go to HGI instead. PP is a different beastie altogether.

Fab! I assume this is OOTB settings?

Over 100% (incl floating green pips) in 3 months trading hands off.

(let alone the last 3 month included 3 NFP'S, a Christmas period and the biggest unexpected currency move recorded to date ever (CHF).

:!!:

PC
It is pretty awesome - thanks once again PC. :hi:

Not OOTB, I shut down over Christmas and I manually remove pendings that I just don't like (bottom/top of ranges etc). I also cut down my pairs over time - now trading only 19 pairs but in reality it is less than that as I am just deleting any pendings for CHF pairs at the moment - I will probably just remove them.

I also close trades as and when I see fit, including partial scale outs sometimes. Normally 5 minutes a day "maintenance/personalising" max....

EDIT: risk equates to an average of around 1.75% for anyone interested. I am actually going to move to risk based lot sizing from the fixed one that I was using.

Cheers,
Dave.
Dave,
Just amazing buddy! blows my settings out of the water hahaha. Looks like you have 150sl? and then TP when you want to? :party: Amazing work man!!

Pretty much yes. I expect my approach will be less attractive to most as I do intervene but it just goes to show how good this EA is - quite a few different ways to make it work for you I think. :cheer:

Firstly, thank you PC for sharing this system and to Steve for development. It seems I'm late to the party on this one, will set this up on my laptop and post results to myfxbook.

Anyone got any advice for which settings to choose. I generally prefer tighter settings, I rather take the pips when their available. So anyone who has a feel for how PP's settings affect the results, feel free to throw some suggestions over to me before I get started.

thanks in advance guys :clap:

Hi Guys,

Set up demo over the w/end on three pairs and used xfactornos set file....I only change trade time to correspond local time....

I have three Pipcruiser entries in Expert tab (see below) for the pairs i set up, however no actual trades executed....
Screenshot_2.jpg
Any tips as to what might be going on....?

Oh BTW, the expert tab entries did occur during the trading window, although the screenshot was taken after....Also, ignore the 51062 euro trade on the screen, this is another system....


Regards
Wiggy

I assume yes, as I do and have the same pendings.
Also interested to see how the risk-based lotsizing will do after a while. I guess the results in $ will skyrocket.
