Hi Joe
Is this a 5 £ basket?
http://www.myfxbook.com/members/ForexTr ... ss/2241568
Because the 2 EURNZD trades are in profit by approx 200 pips.
Also the EURGBP trade is over 10 £ in profit.

It is a £25 basket but well spotted because I had written it incorrectly a £5 basket in the description. Also in checking this and the set file I had uploaded in that post I also had the wrong set file with D1 Superslope not W1 so I have now corrected both.

Btw, I noticed the EA has an interesting recovery feature.

I had the M1 multipair set running on 1 account and there were many losing trades. All trades were down and the total was around -$200.

Anyway, I was drinking my coffee and suddenly all open trades closed.

I had previously placed a manual trade on EURGBP (1 lot size) and when it reached +22 pips ( approx $200) in profit the EA saw the opportunity to break even and closed all open trades.

So the break even feature works :clap:

Sorry yes I can see the confusion it is labelled W1 Superslope. It is the only set file in our test with a weekly Superslope which is set to 13periods which is 3months.

With our official September test sets the top three currently are below with equity growth between 1.5 and 3 times max drawdown so far :youknow:

...the top performer above profit now over 4 x max drawdown :cheer:
It's a good result so far and I don't want to quibble, but....slightly over half of that gain by the top performer is due to one pair, cadjpy, so that says to me that it's early days yet and we need more testing time before we nominate the best performer. Even at the end of September, I'll probably want to keep testing the top 3.
