Hi Slipshod,

Cannot agree with you more there, profit is profit. Keep banking them when the opportunity arises, 2 to 3% each time, slowly building your account.

Even my micro live account running version 1.09 hit the 5% gain this morning. I thought many traders are still taking an extended easter break and that the market may be a bit quiet today, how wrong I was !

As for the delete buttons, I do not use them anyway, just using the delete pending scripts.

Good luck and many green pips to all of you.

Cheers,
peter
fx8000/slipshod,

Could I possibly bother either or both of you to share a setfile for the newest version? I have yet to move from the previous version, but I would like to run a side by side comparison, running your respective sets on my broker... If it's not too much trouble, I would certainly appreciate it... Thanks.

John

PS - Great results and very encouraging!
John,

The settings are OOTB, i.e. default settings.

You will find that the results will be different depending on your broker's time, as this will affect the calculation of the pivots.

I would generally delete all pendings just before the start of the new H4 bar. I don't really know if this has any effect on the outcomes.

peter.

Edit : So far, I have launched my live micro acct at London open only. Will try Frankfurt open tomorrow.

I appreciate the quick response, Peter, thanks a lot... My broker is GMT +2, so... Guess we shall see... Any idea what your broker's offset is? Ok, thanks...

Cowboy IBFX (US) is GMT+0. I choose this broker because it is Bob's broker too, so that I see what Bob sees on his charts. BTW my live micro broker just happens to be GMT+0 as well.

The pendings are auto delete if MA cross is set to true. The pends will re-populate in next h4 bar if no MA cross and conditions are met. Andy or others can confirm this too. Thanks.

How did you do that ? Your gain was 10%. With default settings, the basket tp is 5%. Unless the basket launched itself after the first tp.

I run it in asian session (default settings) and went to sleep (i live in europe). The computer was off all that time. When i turned it on this mornig all orders closed at once just in the startup of Empty4 and a message appeared saying it was closing orders because of 5%. But the result was a 10% overeall win. The drop of GBP helped. I don“t know how 2.0 manages TP, i ll check it out.

Ya, that could be a plausible scenario. ;)
