I think he means the 1.8iprofit thingy

Don't understand your question fully, but in general not really. What might also work is ie. W,D,4H. but the original works well and I focus on this...I know a few has tried out different alternative settings, look back in the thread.

PC is buying into a trend on a breakout of a pullback. It's THAT simple!. The diff between PC and what you suggest is where the breakout occurs. PC is taking the brakout from the pullback, what you are suggesting is taking the breakout based on the lowest D1 price, which is the same as checking for the lowest price over the past month and taking that. There are EA's out there that do this, the lookback period is the variable that is optimised for how far back to look to determine the breakout price.

PC is basic price action, no settings to adjust or guess at other than stops and targets.

Thanks PC, no I wasn't referring to TFs, was referring to the direction of the D1 in the "MN, W1, D1".

AnotherBrian, cheers buddy, PC's entry makes sense, no doubt. I just wanted to know about how much of a difference are we talking about between the two. PC's entry - breakout of a pullback, vs breakout of a continuation. I guess best way to really know would be set up another demo and then compare the results.

Got 3 demos running for Pipmasher on my laptop, plus 4 for my own EA which I may discontinue as Pipmasher seems like it might be all I'll ever need.

Cheers.

Cheers! - Why not do a manual backtest? you'll get your answer sooner than waiting for demo results.
I manually back tested PC on UJ this weekend to see what happens when the trend ends it price starts to range. It's more insightful than simply running the EA for a while.
