For grins I coded up a quick and dirty indicator to show us the immediate pip slope between two bars. I'll give it some testing here when the markets open back up but for the most part we should be able to determine whether or not a huge spike is ...

I threw a last-minute edit in, the strategy tester won't let me test into today so I took back my statement.

Nanningbob - I'm looking at the code once more to see where we might be able to prevent this sort of thing again. At the bottom of the file I noticed that we're calculating the indicators for multiple time periods at once - which got me to thinking ...

The Swiss really threw a monkey wrench into the mix today. Nanningbob - is there any way we might be able to protect against something like this?

One thing I can definitely say for these modified EAs: demo test them for awhile! I am wanting to start out small (about $100) but have noticed that over time these EAs can and will margin out if the DD is too much. So for those of you wanting to ...

Thanks! I'm still testing it to find the best settings for each time frame, but everyone can test too and report their findings too.

I messed up when I posted that modified EA. Here are all of the 3L 60x90 EA's with the trailing stop modification. This will only trailing stop on the first level and after the TrailingStopEngage value has been met.

I have not added hidden TP and SL. This is only bob's original M15 60x90 with trailing stop fixed and tweaked.

Here is the modified 3L 15M 60x90 EA. Trailing stop will activate after the TrailingStopEngage value is reached. Default for TrailingStopEngage is 45 pips and TrailingStop is 15 pips. Anyone care to test this and give me some feedback? EDIT: ...

For M30 and H1 the trailing stop will engage after 15 pips of profit. M5 and M15 trailing stops are disabled until I do further testing. I am wanting a trailing stop so I can take less risk using this EA. For the most part, a lot of back testing has ...

So far with the changes to the trailing stop code in the EA I'm getting fairly good results. Sure the profits are small right now but I could increase the lot size later. I'm currently using a trailing stop of 15 pips on the M30 and H1 charts. M15 ...

Out of curiosity, has anyone used the Trailing Stop feature in this EA? I have it set to 15 pips but the S/L never actually gets modified. I checked out the code and found this if statement for the trailing stop: For any order: if ...

I've gone ahead and started testing a new demo account (Starting with $75) on a few of the M15, M30, and 1H. I took out the M5's due to instability as well as the GBP pairs after the horrible beating I took yesterday. Hopefully this turns out ...

My demo account took a huge beating earlier today. Forced myself to admit defeat and go ahead and open a new one. Can't say the new demo account is doing any better.

How long does it take to wipe out a small account? Trading on pennies I haven't been able to make this EA wipe me out as of yet. The demo balance of $50 is now up to $86.82. I've actually been looking for a good EA for micro accounts and this one ...
