Nice work Bob, and well thought. Thanks again.

100 x 80 EA oh boy

Pete, good too hear.You have been at this live for a while. Can you estimate your win percentage and max drawdown? Also, if you could, please pm a link to your blog (I lost my bookmarks - thanks).

Hi Pete, This thread has died. I am curious if you stuck with this method?

That is an interesting idea Bob. I like it.

Is This My Holy Grail EA :D

Keramikus, I tried the secure money feature. From what I can tell, the EA will close all open orders when the money target is hit. Set it a 2 dollars and see what happens. I think you only need to set this on one pair. I had some trouble with the ...

Bob, take a look at my aususd chart above. The eight trade also entered at much larger gap.

I agree Frostcall. One either has to trade below an acceptable atr or run account protect. Not certain which is the better alternative. Perhaps I will try both. Here is a death trade in the making:

No kidding gerrigirl. I am 8 deep in both eurjyp and audusa, about half my demo account (of course after I took off the account protection feature) -- watching closely. I should have left the account protect on. Hindsight is 20/20. I doubt I would ...

I should clarify that I am using secure profit true at $50-100 (depending if I am around to watch the EA); orders to protect true at 2; all symbol protect true; equity protect true at 90%. EDIT:only on ONE pair. I had some issues when accidentally ...

Here is my 3000 mini demo running almost nonstop over the last two days on six pairs, with 90% account protection and a set $50 take profit. Not to shabby considering the volatility.

On demo, I let the EA run overnight and today on six majors (no CAD), but I implemented the (1) protect 90% feature and (2) close all orders when profit hit $50 (while sleeping). So far so good - the EA took profit a few times but closed a ton of ...

I left the 100/40 on just the seven majors and all are looking fine except usdchf (five levels deep). About 35 winners in less than 12 hours -- that is some serious movement.

Is This My Holy Grail EA :D

I keep a close eye on support and reistance areas and either close or leave open the ea for each pair depending on where price is and how it reacts to these areas. I think bob does this too. I also at times do not let the ea decide the trend because ...

reverse condition — Does anyone know what the reverse condition function does in this EA? I tried it, but am not following it. Thanks to all, especially nanningbob.

I am thinking about running three different systems at different times, with each triggered on/off by some combination of indicators. Basically using technical indicators to decided when to turn on/off a system (as opposed to entering a trade) with ...
