Truly impressive! :)
Both the amount of trades and the balance increase!

One question though: What was your MaxDD during that time?

I am using TJF's H1-D1 with a smaller lot size calculation as I am trading a bigger account ($5k). These are on a live account running from 16/11

Thanks to all the effort to date. :hi:

What settings are you using on the cross?

PS. Nice results indeed!

OK I think I might have posted in the wrong thread since I am not using the EA. I just toss down a grid on crosses and let APTM manage everything in basket mode. Since it is a grid the APTM mainly just sets BE for me at a certain % since grids tp as price moves but I want protection from big retraces. The grid is set according to a daily atr for the pair. I delete the trades if css crosses back. TP for the grids is set at 20 right now but I am still playing with tp levels to see what works best.

Hi Neocount!

Getting confused by your last post. In your first post you wrote "Basket TP set at D1 ATR", but in the post above you wrote "TP for the grids is set at 20". Would love to really understand your trading rules and see if we can all improve and refine. Can you perhaps give an example?

Cheers and happy pippin' :good: :cheer:

The indi at the right top says 37-ish % profit, this is from the current balance.
It compares to almost 60% from the starting balance.

I used the H4/H1 set, and added the D1 today to see if it counters the high DD that occures now and then.
