Is there a way for the EA to plug in a fixed number for the gaps, and just have that as a setting that the user would have to calculate for themselves? For instance, if the spread seems to average $0.40, and the desirable gap is $0.50, then the user ...

image Glad to see you guys are putting on your thinking caps! Just so you know, if you can code a line that shows a calculated price for BE and profit target, it is the same math that can be used to place a single TP and SL for all trades to get ...

So, is your version doing ok, then, with keeping the original equity target, despite closing trades to SL?

No, that's a standard hedge you're looking at. This EA only has stop entry orders. As everybody can see, we had a big gap up after the holidays, so my closing all the buy trades caused a margin call, but the EA will still be trading from a smaller ...

It is because of the spreads. The buffer and gridstep adds more distance between orders. If you use value 10, it adds $0.10 to the distance.

YAY gold is doing what is was "supposed" to after FOMC. (why did it wait so long?) You can see my explorer simulates what trades would have looked like with a perfect scale in, now 100% PROFIT. But, there is no way of know when it will happen ( ...

I really don't know what's going on. I haven't had any inadvertent closings like that, and haven't seen anybody else with that problem, besides dambuster, as long as they're not changing their TF, or settings. I have decided that price is going to ...

That's possible, but not in the scenario I was mentioning. I'm assuming both trades have already opened. Your scenario has been mentioned, but is part of the advanced programming someone would have to step in and do. I'm not versed enough to do that ...

image You can do that by making a setting in SL and turning SLs on. The reason I don't use it is a hedge effectively closes one trade, so one loss...but if you hit a SL, than the other trade could possibly hit it's SL, too, which will make you ...

image The EA only closes trades when the equity profit target is reached. Until then, all your trades will float around until the market moves far enough to add up to net profit. This is an unusual outcome after FOMC, you can see other currencies ...

Looks like you got it. There is a huge difference between 0.1% and the 10% you were targeting. Lots of room there.

Yellen's press conference had tons of contradicting answers, thus the up, then down, then up again, then down again. It should start trending down after market reopens in a little more than an hour. I would like to see $1180.

It will mess up the EA to restart MT4 It will read the floating loss as the new baseline to target from.
