I have been following for a few weeks, but I do have to ask this question, at what point should the trades be closed on the profitable side?
I noticed the EA will close trades when they are losers, but winners are left to run.

I guess I am asking will I hurt the system if I manually close trades, or do I let the EA close on its own

Marylin is a trend catcher and follower of the stock-exchange proverb " to cut its losses and let run its gains". My Windev/Empty4 version is currently up +37% equity since 15th march with long trend AUDUSD and GOLD. It would not if I had cut sooner...

You can manually close trades without hurting it, but wait stochastic reach OB/OS zone, otherwise a new trade will fire just after !

I think they are the same (or not :? ?) like posted earlier here in this thread ?

Look here for instance the niepce's post mar 25 :

Yes - mine are the same as AGT pointed out. The only thing I changed was I am not using fixed lots (so internal MM - except for Gold) and I changed the spread setting as advised - so 1.5x quoted spread if I remember correctly.

Cheers,
Dave.

EDIT: As most people probably know there is a myFxbook update issue at the moment and I haven't switched mine over to publisher update yet. Hopefully I will get it sorted today.

Hi

XAGUSD isn't a good choice. Better to change for GBPUSD and your LOT is too high : 0.30 will be better for 25K$ (remember you have to pass through bad trades before catching a good trend ! )

Ok great, thanks for the good advice..
I left the lot size automatic, I'll change ASAP.
Which .set file should I use for GBPUSD?
