Pardon ? If you consider my comments negative then that's up to you entirely. If trying to get to the root of the differences between what is being posted and what my charts are doing is deemed to be negative then you don't understand the definition ...

Thanks for the info. I see you're not using the EA. Do you have a template for your setup ?

Brijon, Dont get me wrong, I think you're probably a bright guy and possibly a profitable trader but don't think for one minute that I'm coming to this with a negative mind. I generally have a very positive attitude but also have a fairly clinical ...

Well I must be living either on another planet or in a different universe because over 50% of my trades, using the EA OOTB and on a 15 min chart, go into almost immediate drawdown and many never recover. How you guys constantly post page after page ...

Yes, you're right. I didn't mean any offence and didn't want to compare you to Don Steinitz in a commercial sense. But what I don't want people to think is that you can load this EA up and it will begin to pour money into their account without any ...

'Semi auto' are the key words here because this EA on its own will blow your account away without the correct settings. I think you're probably better at deciding when or when not to take a trade than you think Brijon, unless of course you're hiding ...

I've successfully closed 24 trades for a profit around 240 pips but have 8 open trades losing around 500 pips (one of which is currently 18 times higher than the average profit). I don't have an SL and am using the EA OOTB. This tells me that its ...

In my opinion your TP and SL are way too high for your account size. They should be 10% of their current values for an account of $1000. This is exactly why such account get blown away. You should not risk more than 1% (2% at absolute most) on each ...

I think it was a typo and should have read 'I am a 2-year-old MQL4 programmer'

Brijon Concept of Threes auto trading robot by Steve Hopwood

Having monitored this system for a few days (which as we know is no time at all in the grand scheme of things) I'm aware that the risk/reward ratio seems to be quite high in its OOTB form. Over 10:1. In itself this isn't a huge problem if people ...

Steve, Being of age myself, I just loved the joke you were sent. Top class.

I have read the complete thread so must have missed that somewhere Castlebrook, it would appear that you have a 50/15 risk reward ratio ? Is that a good idea ?

Brijon Concept of Threes auto trading robot by Steve Hopwood

brijon, Looking at your latest trades it would appear that your SL (assuming you have one, virtual or otherwise) is much greater than your TP, so your risk/reward ratio is quite high. Would that be correct ?

What money management settings are you guys finding to be the best for this ?

I have a Mac as well as a couple of PCs and I installed Boot Camp on my Mac and WinXP so it was a dual boot system. Works great.
