Peaky on Steroids

OK, but the manual says

"Trade1RecoveryProfitPips: no need to suffer the pain of Recovery without some reward, so this input tells PoS how many pips profit to lock in before closing the group of trades. "

What's your point?

Are we complaining about the manual here, or use what we learned by using the EA?
I noticed while using the feature that it uses this value as a 'per trade' value, and took note of it in my further use of the EA.

OK, thanks again very much for your help.

Started Gertije's 3 sets Version E (attached elsewhere in this thread) on live account - small deposit, only $400

I am not leaving open orders over the weekend for now - deposit too small and margin getting depleted too quickly. Trading 0.01 lots - so far this is the status after 2 weeks, both weeks closed in profit on Friday

That is really good to read.

That is indeed good to hear!
$400 is really not much for this EA, I wouldn’t dare to try it.

Keeping trades open over the weekend is key I believe, below the current status of my “fully auto” demo.

I also started trading PoS live, with good results.
Thank you for posting.

Nearly 25% for the week, and a whopping 8% for today........

I reached over 3,5K on my cent-account, and have started to close up shop there.
As soon as the remaining trades have been closed, i’ll move over to a standard account at GP.

Also the demo’s have been doing great;
The “manipulated” demo made 19,3% and the fully automated ”abandoned” one made 7,1% this past week.
Looking forward to a bright future.....

EDIT, the DD on the both manually challenged accounts is around 40% at the moment, where the fully auto sits at just 2%......
Food for thought...

Some of you may remember the above post.
It took me 3 months to wind down the account, and it went DEEEEEEEP in the hole [83% DD @16 march

] due to my own stupid trading. Mentally I gave up on the account, but it survived.

It was a hell of a ride, but it build my confidence in the trading method.
Last friday I closed out the last 2 pairs, CHFJPY and EURJPY, for a loss.
In totall I made $ 2159,- on this cent-account since 1st October 2017

The capability of PoS to recover still amazes me.
I have another demo, trading PoS. Unlike my cent-account, it was hit by a MC when going into deep DD on the 2nd March, thereby losing nearly 84% of the balance.
I kept trading the remaining $1.386 and right now I'm almost at the original starting balance of $3.000

The road to financial freedom is lying ahead of me....

MarginCall

This is when the broker desides to close your loosing trades because the margin goes below 100%.
