PistolDave replied Sep 9, 2008No question about it. When the balance falls to the amount you want to protect the EA closes all trades - then starts over again from the beginning reopening trades again. It does not shut itself off. It should not be too hard to change that in the ...

PistolDave replied Sep 7, 2008Hi zaxmarki, Thank you very much, but most of the credit has to go to nanningbob, who has done most of the testing. Right now, it sets a TP for each trade it enters. When it reaches it, it will enter another, and so on, so you don't have to be too ...

PistolDave replied Sep 6, 20082205 pips in one day? — Last quote was showing 23 pips. The swings on that pair are insane. You could get your account wiped out in minutes if you make a mistake with that one. Or make a lotta cash. Not as bad as the new USDZAR at 69 pips ...

PistolDave replied Sep 2, 2008I looked at FerruFx's website where he is selling it and it looks like a meter that combines the stochs and macds from two or three time frames in combination, right? How are you doing with that probability meter? If it works like he claims, it ...
