Taking Profits too early?

Well that surprises me, I stand corrected as I didn't realise that some brokers used the balance when deciding to initiate a margin call. As I have only used MT4 for the last 3 or 4 years, I always see that free margin is linked to equity, not ...

I admit that my tone may have been a bit combative at times, especially my more recent posts. I am sorry about that. But I did ask what the current situation was with the account that he showed with the 14% gain. I asked because I checked the value ...

I was not intending to fight with you Insomia. I was trying to be helpful. I was just pointing out what I perceived as flawed logic with the strategy in its current form. With the 2 pair strategy, the relative strength between AUD and CAD is most ...

You didn't answer my question. The account that made 17,000$ profit, what is it at now? You can't answer because you have closed the account? Why have you closed the account?

Your post could easily have been interpreted as that it would continue to run while MT4 was closed.

Problem with EA not working

But it won't run during the time that MT4 is closed will it?
