Hello all. Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I have CP set up for directional trading using HGI signals, but with no TP but using the option to close on opposite signal BUT to close only trades in profit. However, it would appear CP is closing losing trades as well. My stop loss is 1000 pips ('disaster' stop loss), and I set it to use just the recovery option to manage trades. (screen shot of the relevant section of the settings, and the closed trades below). I am using GP brokers as my demo. I have read the whole CP thread and the user guide. Thanks

And just to add, I have got another demo of CP non-directional with 100pips TO and 1000pips 'disaster' stop loss, and using recovery option as trade management and the option to close only trades in profit. However, there was trade that would appear to have been closed in loss. The gbpjpy closed with -3.72 (in the screen shot below). Thank you

Happy New Year fellow traders!

Latest HGI indy installed, but Thomas' CP dashboard EA doesn't work anymore.

Maybe Thomas' CP dashboard EA itself has to be updated?

Any ideas?

Hello

I have a question regarding the EA open trade?

Can we set the CP to open trade 1x for a pair and not to open trade the same pair again, but only to manage it ?

For example :
CP is set only buy GBPUSD , CP buy GBPUSD. Then CP stop entry GBPUSD anymore. CP only do the management like close when oposite css color change.

CP can buy / sell the other pairs (in other chart)

Thank u

Just set MinDistanceBetweenTradesPips = 9999 or some other high number and that will do the trick.

Hello

I just realize that will not work. Because once i give 9999 , it will wait for 9999 minutes to trade again. But not mind with that again. I already set it 1440 minutes or 1 day for only 1 trade per chart.

I need to ask 1 last thing again from this forum. If the parameter is like this:

Lot = 0.1
Risk Percent = 8
LotsPerDollopOfCash = 0.1
SizeofDollop = 800
UseEquity = True

Is it correct , if equity is 1600 , CP EA will entry 0,2 lots with total risk stop is $64 ?
So when equity hit $936 trade will be cut loss.

if equity is 800, CP EA will entry 0,1 lot with total risk stop is $100 ?
So when equity hita $700 trade will be cut loss.

thank u

It's 9999 pips, not minutes. :?
