Bob — I know you're not at your computer all day but what was your lowest margin level you saw yesterday trading 20 pairs? Must have been pretty low even with being near break-even. I'm assuming you started with $5000. Are you trading .02 lots ...

Bob — The 100/25 errrr 30 image doesn't let you get into the code to change the slippage.

Thanks for the reply Bob. I think I'll change my slippage to 10 for the AUD/NZD and all other pairs also. Wow, you had a nice profit this week. I'm really interested in seeing how IBFX treates your EA's if you continue to do well. I'm wondering, ...

To anyone trading these EA's live — I see in the 100/40 (and probably in all of Bob's EA's) slippage is set to 5. Say we're sleeping or away from the computer and price spikes, creating slippage more than 5 pips. IBFX or whoever is your broker ...

Bob — I'm up $141 trading the Aud/NZD 50/20 since Sunday night without a shutdown. I've seen a max.drawdown of only 2.31% and lowest margin level that I've seen was around 12000. I did have one take profit at higher levels that reduced my ...

John, It's the same EA with different parameters. Remember, you're trading in both directions with the 50/20.

Hey Bob — This is a little off the path. With this EA we're buying and selling a pair at the same time. Do you consider this as hedging? I remember last year, my accountant wanted to know if any of my forex trading involved hedging. If this is ...

Just wondering what draws you to the AUD/NZD (with it's high spread) when trading a single pair over the EUR/USD? I know A/N is a little less volatile.

I'm still trying to figure out whether the EUR/USD has ever moved more than 600 pips (15 levels) without a 100 pip retrace. I know there is a first time for everything. Your 7 year currency facts show it's never moved that far in one day (and I ...

Bob — EA is opening trades every 30 pips. Is this what you wanted or did you want 25 pip levels?

Bob — 100/25 not working on the following pairs- CHF/JPY,AUD/JPY,EUR/JPY, and EUR/AUD. Smiley faces are on the charts but no trades. Works on all other pairs I've tried. Do you know what the problem could be?

Bob — I figured it out. Had to go to 1hr. chart to see autopivots. Couldn't see them on daily. I have the EA up with a smiley face but no trades have been activated. Should trades begin right away or might it take awhile?

Bob — When I load the template for 100/25 .05 the white lines that you're supposed to trade between don't show up on my chart. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Bob — I'm sure you've tried this angle with the 100/40. Trade one slow mover with higher lot size. I've been trading the EUR/USD 15 levels .05 lots since Sunday night, no shutdowns. I'm up$366 this morning. I did have an 18% drawdown ...

El Salon — I'm pretty sure the EA you just posted (CloseTrades After Account Profit reached) allows trades to reopen after it shuts down.
