Offshore, if you will take some friendly advice, actually you want to keep your SL and TP plenty wide and just adjust your lot sizes downward. You'll find the trading much easier, and a lot less stressful. TF

Precisely what I was thinking. If the system can handle this kind of day, that's pretty promising. TF

An ex4 is the compiled version of the mq4 file. Just put the ex4 file in your experts folder, and your good to go. TF

Hey... leave some for the rest of us!! Nice job there... too bad it's not a real account, eh? I'm thinking about going live in July.... we'll see. TurtleFan

Thank YOU for your continued work, TCO. Much appreciated. TurtleFan

Exactly. The code would need to be amended to have it only close out orders for this EA. TurtleFan

Hnk, yes, your assumption is correct. I either let positions hit their TP or SL or close them all when total basket reaches a profit of 3% of current balance. Nothing magical about 3%; that just seemed like a good place to start. As far as other ...

1) It does not close pending orders, just actual executed orders. 2) It closes orders from ALL pairs, not just the pair on which you have the settings attached. 3) The percentage is based on balance, not equity. TurtleFan

Thanks for your comments. My basket take profit percentage is 3%. Interestingly, I have not yet been down that much with this method, so I had not really considered a basket stop loss percentage. But that's an interesting thought and might be ...

To each his own. If 100Pips or anyone else can tell by PASR when each of these trends is going to turn around, then he is the first to be able to do so. It's a guessing game at best. Rules are to be broken, and so are previous resistance and ...

Apparently you can't be bothered to read posts #1193 and #1196, just a page earlier. TurtleFan

Even though your attached settings show close after profit percent disabled, that sure is what it looks like. The total profit for the closed trades is about $98, which is right at 3% of what your balance would have been previously. Bear in mind ...

A 2-3 day change in direction is certainly a retracement, but we won't know if it is a new trend until much later. A trend is easy to see. Bring a child to your zoomed-out chart and ask them, are the lines going up or down? Do not over-complicate ...

D1 - 20 EMA & 50 EMA

Of course the difficulty with this is that no one truly knows when the trend is changing. It takes a LONG time to slow down a fast-moving train. At least right now with my demo of this system, I'm opting to let the market take me out of the trades, ...

Just so everyone is not confused, my username has been changed from "thehenryfam" to "turtlefan". Got to thinking that maybe it wasn't too smart to have my real name posted all over these boards, and so they agreed to change it for me. Sorry for any ...

I know you didn't ask me, but that is what I am doing, fxarcher. Pips are a penny apiece on my mini account. Trading .01 per $1,000 in the account. Very satisfied with the return achieved so far with that setting. Scott

Erebus, nice results... what was your starting capital with the demo? Or am I missing that in the screenshot you provided? Scott

TCO Trader EA

Yes, it uses balance. You can't use equity because you would never reach it. It would be a moving target. Scott

TCO Trader EA

Not sure what to tell you. I have two EURCAD trades opened as well, but one was yesterday and one today (I am using 12-hour delay), so seems to be working well for me. Scott

TCO Trader EA

I don't think you understand. The delay prevents multiple orders from opening within 6 hours (or whatever your delay is set to) on the SAME PAIR. Scott
