ChicagoRob replied Aug 21, 2015I've noticed from several single-pair demos, that the EA always closes out multi-level trades for a loss or BE. It never reaches TP before closing(and it doesn't matter what the TP is set to in the EA). Is this normal?

ChicagoRob replied Aug 2, 2015Yes, you should. According to my 5-digit tester, the 20-pip gap input is spacing out counter trades every 2 pips, so an extra zero must be added. Likewise, for the TP and BE settings.

ChicagoRob replied Jun 10, 2015Hedging could make a difference. I would love to run identical demos, one with hedging, and one without. Unfortunately, that is not possible with FXCM US.

ChicagoRob replied Jun 7, 2015Your GT1000 Trade Explorer is impressive, but the Trade Report reveals 53% DD on 500:1 leverage. This would never fly on a US account, where we are maxed out at 50:1. What do you recommend for us poor souls who are under the iron grip of NFA, CFTC, ...
