Wow, how'd you do that? My 30/20 crashed and burned and most others here seem to have had similar results this week. Can you tell me exactly what your settings were, and how you traded them ? Thanks much

My 30/20 1H is still alive only because I was trading four levels. I'll let you know if it survives the week. Started with $250 at .15 lots.

Very nice Bob. That's some serious return on $168. Were you using a 1.8 multiplier, no stoploss? Are you still using 80 as the buffer on the bottom or have you changed it to 70? I ran default settings all week starting at .1 lots and ended up with a ...

Steve, Thanks for the work you've done on the ATR. If I don't have a 5 digit broker, what should my starting lot size be? .1 instead of .01? Does the ATR multiplier stay the same (6)? I know TPshould be 60,pips40,SL400. Couple more questions, when ...

When I download the template for the 5M version I get the same chart as the 1HR version. Anyone else have this problem?

Bob, What did you change the bottom buffer to on the 1H? Does 60 sound about right? And we're talking about the buy order at the very bottom section of the code, right? Thanks

This has been one of my questions also. I've been trading the Eur/USD 100/40 (.02) (1.5 mult.) , no stoploss with a maximum trades (15) since the end Of October. I'd love to know how far it's ever moved in one direction without a 100 pip retrace. ...

Sorry I wasn't clear. What line in the code would need to be altered to narrow the trading range if necessary.

Bob, Back in the summer months like the middle of June, how would we have needed to alter the settings to get it to trade? Would this line in the code(OpenOrdersBasedon=16) be the only change you would have to make? What would you need to change the ...

You can take this for what it's worth but when you run this EA (default settings except no stoploss) through the MT4 tester, a $500 balance survives the week of Oct. 5th-10th. There was a horrible spike in the aud/nzd on the 8th that week.

Bob, Don't know why I was thinking buy,sell at same time . Guess I was stuck on the last aud/nzd EA.I hear you when it comes to this years stock market performance. My retirement date has probably been pushed forward by 5 years at least. Anyway, I ...

Thank you Bob. I'm looking forward to trying this one. What kind of balance do you think would be appropriate to start with? Sure hope they don't do away with being able to buy and sell at the same time. Do you think we can work around new ...

week 8- $3793 (.02) (4) -only traded one day with the holiday. So I've averaged about $100 a week for two months. At this rate it would take about 8 months to double a $3000 account.

Bob, Not trying to beat a dead horse here. Just making an observation that could boost profits. I TP'D a 10 level trade on monday and in the time it took to close all 10 levels, price moved against me a combined 153 pips over the 10 levels. So I ...

Bob I'm not talking about a separate close all. I'm referring to when the EA closes at a take profit point. Right now it closes one order at a time and takes several seconds to close all of them especially when you are 6-10 levels deep. I'm ...
