Different approach to the 100/40 — Hey folks, tell me why this idea wouldn't work. Instead of trading multiple pairs and dragging down your margin, trade only one big mover such as the EUR/AUD or GBP/JPY. Set max. trades to 15 and let'er rip ...

Bob — You wanted us to report discrepancies with the EA. On 10/9 at 2:11 GMT the EA made a first level buy trade on the AUD/CAD when price was well below the 2MA. I have yet to get the Account money Protection function to work. Could be me. ...

Bob — I got in on the sell side of EUR/JPY last night since I turned my EA on just after markets opened. I've been getting in as soon as spreads go down on IBFX Sunday nights.
