Squalou, First trade was closed at TP1, and order 2 and 3 were stopped after moving SL to BE+7 (in my case). I have no clue why the other set of 3orders open ... that is actually what concerned me in the first place. I will re-start a backtest and ...

XmPh: My current set-up to limit false signals — Mer, I would appreciate you tell me what you think of the following. Your LBO (london break-out) is excellent. As it is, I have a complete 2004 to 2010 profitable backtest starting with a fresh ...

Jimnz, it depends on your settings my friend. 2500$ if you can bear some risk. 5000$ if you are more reasonable. That is my conclusion on cable (G/U) for 2004.01-2010.08 .... realizing at least 1000$/year ... that is some return ... and no ...

I have similar observation as yours, but a slightly different conclusion. SL must be adjusted based on price action (not a predefined level), and so the box shall be guided in the manner described by John. However, if we start to do this, I think we ...

Squalou, I see that you modify the ECN code for: ticket = OrderSend(symbol, type, lots, price, slippage, 0/*stoploss*/, 0/*takeprofit*/, comment, magic, expiration, arrow_color); if (ticket != -1) { if (stoploss!=0 || takeprofit!=0) { ...

Dear JulesvH, First, can you reproduce the potential bug in backtest (with today's data) ? Second, can you reproduce the potential bug with the version I posted earlier and where I did modify the ECN code ( ... using the "temporary fix" as suggested ...

Mak, if you're GMT+1, then you're in-sync with London that is DST currently, thus GMT+1. This means you should use 5-814 for box determination, not 6-914 .... you're 1hour late ;-) This will be fixed soon.

I would suggest separating Indies and EAs as eventually some ppl feel confortable working on Indies but not on the Eas (that may be more complex). AS well, it is good to backtest only on Indies and look how they evolve without having Eas ...
