1) I want to stop the ea for that pair if the stoploss is hit
2) I am setting the stoploss to the Daily Pivot (DP), I have the DP value set in Global Varibles and am pulling this value into the ea fine (I display it on the chart via screen message) but using this code does not seem to work to set the stop loss when a trade is triggered

I don't understand what BOB EA scalper has to do with CTS system ? Censura, it is not accurate to post your request in BOB 10.3 Scalping method ?

Fabel; do you trade CTS? And when you do; how is it going?


thx in advance

PS: i'am a Little bit irritated that the thread is nearly dead. CTS looked so promising...

I'm also irritated that it's gotten so quiet in here. But I think it is also because CC is not writing here anymore and we need him to further improve a system which has an amazing potential in my opinion. I'm not an experienced trader but I got really big results with it in the beginning. I doubled a small account within 2 weeks but then lost half of it because I got impatient / greedy and took too many trades which were not a clear entry (not bouncing off MP, counter trend etc.).
I also got good results with spotting divergences on RSI or MACD to confirm entries in an early stage.
At the moment I have less time to spend in front of the screen for manual trading so I'm curious for an EA. Although it's hard for me to imagine that a complex system like this can be automated sufficiently but we'll see. So this is still the best manual system I have used so far.

NB10.2a's groundbreaking pivot formations were extended for direction setting, ExtremeTMA's alerts developed for profit-maximizing timely exits, then modes were defined for entry in each market condition. I believe that with pair correlation and carefully defined baskets, a fine-tuned CTS should be able deliver a daily average of 500-1000pips consistently (the key word). That may yet be as close as CTS can get to a holy grail system (oh, may we stand on the shoulders of giants - Nanningbob & Alorente - to reach higher ground ).

We'll see...

Cheers,
