Thanks Ray... and indeed thanks Rene! :good:

PS Avatar shows me dangling at 10metres decompressing on a bottle of almost neat O2 before being able to get out. If this Forex malarky ever works out I hope to dive Scarpa Flow in a mini-sub instead of an old drysuit!

Its Renexxxx's creation, Its accurate to the dollar, It reads the "account history". Great for tracking the ups & DDs.

Have fun

Ray
PS: I love your avatar, I dived for 40 years.

Headline figure last week, live account:
Headline figure.png
This makes $2,500 profit in only a few weeks.

The drawback is the draw down. This stands at $2,200, so actual realisable profits are only $300. I have noticed that DD increases dramatically at the end of the week, in the last hour or so before the markets close. It tends to drop as the new trading week progresses.

I want to adopt the Stop and Limit orders system, but will give it a couple more weeks first to see if I can eliminate or at least alleviate the DD. We shall see.

The Full On and HGB lurking in hedges with his mum performed brilliantly last week and with far less DD. Both have so far added c. $2,500 to the starting balance of $7,000, with DD of roughly a third and a quarter of the profits respectively.

The Experimental version is the star of the show, and is no longer experimental. You will find only one bot in post 1 now, the renamed experimental version. No need to download it - there are no changes.

This little lot is trading less than a fortnight:

I had already decided to adopt the Stop and Limit orders system on my live account asap just before close of business on Friday night. I saw the equity and that umpteen open trades could be closed overall at a small profit, so I did. $2,252 profit in under two weeks and flat for the weekend. Wow. Double wow. Triple wow with an extra helping of wow sauce.

I am enjoying myself rather a lot these days.

It takes relatively few trades with the Bob filter but good entries, mostly closing out manually for profit, loss being closed with Semaphore signal and RnR 1 addition.
Woodlands. Can you point me to where these two summary indicators are or just give me their names and I can search for them.
Thanks

Steve, I wanted to let you know that after you gave me your set file last Wednesday, I loaded it onto a new Demo. By Friday close, $10k US demo hit $12,096 with -$405 float.

Very early I know but very impressive. Thanks.

Rene's TradeChart and TradeReport. They are fantastic. I have added them to post 1 here.

Steve,

From your testing of experimental results that you have posted, I have a query: Have you put all the trading styles set to true..i.e. Trend,Wavy,Rad & Range?? Kindly let me know.

There is no range trading. Make sure you know what this EA is about before using it, or you will lose your account. Any EA, however good, will kill you if you have not even taken the trouble to learn what it does.

Yes to the other three.
