It seems to me that You have very big Adaptive TP and JS.Please check.Just imagine You have 4 pairs
Adapt. JS is 4x30=120,Adapt.BE=4x25=100 and Adapt. lock=4x10=40.Adapt. JS will work if You have
240+40=280pipps. In this case 160pipps will be locked.In strong trends it may be OK.

Harry45, you are absolutely right. I will revise them soon.
In order to survive in ranging market I have also put Reward Percent Take Profit equal to 2.0 which I think is normal for 4 to 7 currencies in the basket.
What do you think.

Been running v1b since market open. It took a trade on EZ (I think) and made about 10 pips, since then nothing but I wasn't around to refresh the EA manually so the non-trading is not so surprising.

So basically, I have the same issues that everybody else.

Cheers for now
I don't. Sorry guys, but the EA is trading away happily, if not altogether successfully here.

:D

As I can see You suggest 2.0% cash profit per basket.It is nearly 40% per month.I do not use this option because used to pipps.If I constantly gain 2000pipps per month(approx. 10 green baskets and approx.12-15% per month) it will be exellent.

Although I have set 2.0% cash profit per basket it doesn't necessarily mean I expect it to go that far. But who knows. In any case manual interaction is needed to either let the bot run if the market telling so, or stop it.
It is nearly 40% per month. Right. :) and if earned that percentage for three years - you will be a billionaire. I wish everybody here to be one.:D
