Just for kicks, I entered only hedged trades (all of the ones shown below) with a trail stop, no tp and any which way, not concerned with where I thought market was going: Arbitrarily entered every trade with both a buy and sell at the same time, ...

Your efforts are greatly appreciated by us all Siobi. By the way, I'm using 2 same timeframe - with different settings - slope direction lines on the previous charts + one for the next higher timeframe on the same chart. I think maybe when both the ...

For the purpose of providing any insights that I can, the following are some facts about the 15 winning trades taken on the fxdd account posted earlier by me (worst trade by far is the one highlighted and shown on the chart below - 67 pip drawdown): ...

I believe that the 21kb file is r7 and the 16kb file is r8. Please verify by looking at version and date in it's properties box and then on the upper left once dropped onto the 30m chart. I have had ibfx trades, but not as successful. You may want ...

Paradoxical, I would do a fresh reinstall of the ea and or entire mt4 platform, and also download fxdd demo and compare the two apples to apples. Unfortunately all my accounts are too erratic and do not want to screw up a good thing with the one ...

Thanks Siobi. It seems fxdd and r7/r8 make a good combination so far, as I don't believe that we have experienced over 50 pip dd on fxdd to date, ...somehow. IBFX is less successful, even though the priceaction on a chart looks similar. ...

We'll have to wait for Siobi to make an appearance and try to answer any questions more definitively. While we do that, let's keep up the testing - forward, back, side to side, and all around. ...Shake this thing up and make sure we know what we ...

Hi Siobi. Great work on the ea, but if you can make it enter earlier according to the slope direction line, or maybe a cross thereof like below. Could have closed this last trade manually for more, but had ea entered earlier in the obvious uptrend, ...

That's how I managed to save my first live acct. By hedging. HATED EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF IT!!!!!!! But managed to only lose 1/3 or so of it, from that quick lesson in hedging. ...On one acct. I have a long open at 1.2903.

Results will vary according to r7 or r8 and also different brokers, among other variables. My results are all over the map also. I do like that fxdd acct. though! Changed some indicators and templates in it, so I hope I didn't screw it up. 13 and 0 ...

When you have it on 1m it may still be looking at the 30m slope dir. line. Don't know the code, so couldn't say definitively. r8 also looks at ADX 5 and 15 min, so on the 1m chart to get 20 pips, entries will not look as if they are following the 1m ...
