Shared TS for multi-trades! You stole my idea for HBG, SWG123!

Lol just kidding, the power of Brainstorming - it can spark similar ideas in other people! Exactly what I like to see!

Dude no apology necessary. All people will get the same logical progression of ideas i.e. they will achieve the same ideas on their own as we're all generally wired the same.

Just a thought regarding the multi trades ... at the moment we have them spaced at 20 pip intervals with TP30 and fixed SL50.

This means that if price moves in our favour, when the second multi-level trade is triggered, we have a situation where the potential profit from both entries is 60 pips but, if the market reverses against us, we are exposed to a combined 100 pip loss.

Instead of the 50 pip fixed SL, a 40 pip instant trailing SL would ensure that our risk/reward is 1:1.

E.g. Trade 1 goes +20 triggering Trade 2. At this time, SL on Trade 1 has moved up 20 pips so the worst case loss is -20. On entry, Trade 2 has the full 40 pip SL, so combined risk is 60 pips - equalling the potential profit from both entries for 1:1 R:R.

Make sense?
Yes it does. I do not care. HGB is what it is. You want something different, trade with something different. I am not going down the path of fixing it until it is bust again

Just demo the damn ea, ok? It is actually quite good, and was originally until guys persuaded me to fix it until we broke it.

You want to go down that route again, do it on your own - I am fairly sure you have the coding ability to break EA's without my assistance.

I second that. It is actually quite good. Below are my results so far trading HGB second edition, OOTB (except for HGI_Name=HGI_v16.04 and HgiReadDelaySeconds=30), on all the majors + GJ:

Granted, it was a good week for trend following strategies, but 2000+ PIPs in four days is actually quite good.

Methinks I detected some actual gentle mockery of my writing style here tonight. Kind of you to be so gentle.

I will try to do better in the future. I actually promise. :lol:

Nice market today ;)

HGB is floating -1600 pips.
Other trend systems on my real account feel not so good ;)

'gimme dem pips!!!'

thursday rolls round...

'actually nah i dont want those pips anymore'

here's my forward test. version 1 (2015). 27 pairs excluding EURCHF. OOTB except for TrendWave=disabled.

i think i tighter breakeven / jumping stop might be the saviour here.

my PC hard drive is dying so i can't log into my Amazon VPS at the moment. will try to rescue it when i get a chance but I'll probably just leave this run for a while yet.

dude, market reverse, you should expect giving something back so that poor guys can get some relief.

Be careful what you say. I suggested a trailing stop on the multi trades and got flamed for it. :x
