Round 1.... 2pip vs 5pip

.. 2 pip = 1631pips (GP demo)

vs

5pip = 117pips (RF cent Live)

.. the spread eats into the cent account a chunky chunk or two but huge difference none the less and both very positive for one day's hands off trading!!

Draw-down was only about 2 x with 2pip amazingly so going to reverse the test tomorrow

Anyone here up for the challenge?

Had the same thing earlier - so here's my tuppence worth. I think it's the "while"s in the simple offset :

Code: Select all

  
while (!result)
{
     result = CloseOrder(LowestBuyTicketNo);               
}//while (!result)

So could add a counter like:

Code: Select all

while (!result)
                  {
                     CloseAttempts++;
                     if (CloseAttempts >= 15)
                      {
                      CloseAttempts = 0;
                      return;
                      }
                     
                     result = CloseOrder(HighestSellTicketNo);
                                    
                  }//while (!result)

Or would "break" rather than "return" get you out of it so you don't miss anything else?

The latest version with the replaced fixes hasn't stalled yet in craptesting. The counter thingy always works but I could not see where to add it. Let's just see what happens for now.

I have reached the wrist-slashing stage and cannot be bothered to explain. Just take it from me ok? You need the update.

I am going to bed.

I would like to let you know what a noticed today about the baseline, after the EA has closed "all the positions", and kept just one(short) opened, the price of the baseline(160.750) wasn't the same as the open position(160.699), I don't know if it is right or not, just would like to let you know. All the best.
