Sid, So you changed the sleep value from (1000) to what? Is 100 milliseconds delay the fastest you can get trades to close? thanks much

roundrock, I think we really need to add or change code to get these EA's to close faster. Once you get 20-30 trades open, price bounces around so fast that a winning basket can become a loser by the time all trades are closed. I looked at one of ...

I'm testing AddSix 2a also. I've had one close at .25%PP since I started testing on friday. I presently have 14 trades open but that is with two resets of the phantoms, once over the weekend shutdown and once when my platform froze today. DD at - ...

So I'm assuming phantoms reset every time internet connection is interrupted also. I lose connection most days usually for only a few seconds. If we want the phantoms to work as originally intended by MC then shouldn't we be altering the code as ...

Thanks for that frazerd. I'm thinking (and I know this has been discussed) setting a low PP initially will keep DD lower with more frequent TP's. But if you get into bigger DD with several trades open it would be better to boost the PP for two ...

Can you change the PP(profit percentage) if the EA already has open trades without screwing up how the EA calculates it's next trade. The reason I ask is ( as mentioned in the Basket 14 thread) once you have several trades opened with DD and the ...

To those of you running the most recent EA. AddSix-02a. Are you getting a new trade each hour as EA is supposed to add to each winner each hour? On my platform the EA opened an initial trade with GBP/USD on hour 1300(red check mark) but did not add ...

I think a margin call will eventually come with any of these EA's if your're going to trade .1 size lots. I'm trading .06 size lots(AddSix 02a) with $39,500(demo) so I'm going at this much more conservatively than some of you guys. I estimate I ...

I'm running the AddSix 02a . Trying to figure out why the last 4 trades(within the last 5 bars showing on the chart) have been buys on USD/CHF when the price has been falling. Shouldn't EA be selling not buying here?

Hello MC I'm running your Add six 02a EA on a demo. In your above statement you had about 150 trades open at one time during the the days between 9/29 and 10/1. I saw that it took the EA 3 minutes to close all the trades at TP. I did a little ...

I came within 4/10ths of a pip from getting out of my L3 NZD/USD trade last night.

Hope everybody was able to get out of their GBP/CHF trades this afternoon on the retrace as I did.

Try a 40/20 setting with a jump of 30. It gives a little more room for price to back up and then continue forward after BE.

Hey Astral, I'm also taking only primary trades but my thinking is not to avoid the pairs that are trending. I'm actually looking for them. I'm trading the strong trending pairs only in the direction of the trend. If a pair is ranging, I trade it ...

It places a pending order when price goes past the line then opens when price comes back to the line. Lines adjust so price must have been past the line at some point.

DXTrade, You mentioned you were going to hedge at -400. Can you give us any tips on hedging. What lot size would you use in comparison to your open trades? What's your strategy for exit with a hedge? thank you

Frink, EA anticipates that when price goes through the green or gold line it will at some time retrace back to the line and initiate a trade. It's a counter trend strategy.
