Thanks, maybe just try putting 0 for lotsoerdollop and Tradelotsperdollop. That should force 0.01 and then it's back to normal.
Can confirm changes to be effective. The new trades are 0.01 lots.

The current DD is due to 4 short AUDCAD at 0.1 total 0.40 lots -200.52. Under the normal lot size it would be 20.05.

Maybe the 10 allocation was filled before any GBPJPY or USDCAD were triggered.
I am seeing some trades on UC over past 24 hours....my GJ showing ranging on the SuperSlopes so no trades at the moment. :)

Edit: GJ trades firing now Tuesday afternoon.

I see that there are 2 public MyFxBook versions of H4PeakHiLo730 running, but the curves look quite different.
https://www.myfxbook.com/members/Spyder ... 30/2244589 Looks the best, especially if you would correct the DD spike due to running at 0.1 for a while (while profit taking remained unchanged at a level targeted at 0.01 trades).

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/barry/h ... 30/2257925 looks however different.

It would be interesting to compare both sets to be sure they are identical?
Or is this a broker effect?

I only started mine, the 2nd one, on 18 Sep, after the original looked so good, so that explains some or all of the difference. It's a demo account with Global Prime.

Attached the set file from the server

EDIT: Uploaded the EA version 1g. I only have the compiled version sent from TJF
EDIT 2: I believe that newer version of the EA do not close global profit baskets which might explain why some have more DD and more open positions

;) Of course I compared both with data sub-sets starting 19 Sep, but I still couldn't explain the difference. They might have different trades at the start, which effected subsequent trades.
But I also tried really hard to compare individual trades in the history. To me it appears that they behave differently.

For example look at the status at this moment:
- one has no open trades, nor open orders. Equity = Balance and it appears it does so most days.
- the other one has 24 open trades and 5 open orders, and it appears to leave most days in DD with open positions.

I forgot; are you both running the same Awesome version? That also might be a difference.
No right or wrong here, but IF there is a difference it may help to find ways toward a decreased DD behaviour.

If you can both put the MQ4 EA files and Set-file here, I'll gladly compare both with a Beyond Compare to find if they are truly identical.

Edit:
I could not find any Awesome 1g MQ4 that 1Direction refers to. Going through the thread 1g was put in post 1 on August 20. Unfortunately one can't compare or read compiled ex files. So if anyone still has a 1g please send it to me.
I really wished the older versions would remain in the thread so you could compare in detail how the code was improved in time. If I find the different version in time, I always love to load them in Beyond Compare and study the differences (which BC will flag in red).

1Direction H4PeakHiLo started Sept 9 with version 1g.
Barry started Sept 19.
I found that by Sept 13 Awesome was already at version 1m, with quite some changes according to information in the thread.

I found version 1g in my backup folder see attached. If you ever find out why newer versions do not close at the global profit value then please let me know. I tried pretty much everything possible but not being a coder I've no chances :cry:

Hi guys. for what it's worth I'm having no issues whatsoever with global closures (both symbol and basket) using the latest v1q on a live account (Bully Pepperstone). Using H4 PeakHiLo730.set, nice steady profits with low DD.
