Clapan, Good way of keeping in with the trading, yes I have used Teamviewer myself, it is quite good at operating across firewalls too which is a bonus.

No problem, there are a very large number of parameters that affect the performance. If you are not sure, leave them as set by Steve, except maybe for the lot size depending on your account size. You do not come across as experienced so hopfully you ...

Hi, I am fairly new to these EA's so may be not the ideal person to answer. However, your stop loss in your quoted example has been moved 20 pips in profit (locked in), therefore you must have set a trailing stop or jumping stop in the EA ...

Becouse your stop loss price was hit and order closed, if the stoploss was moved into profit, it's still a stop out and registers as highlited in pink, quite normal. Look at the close price and stop loss, identical. Same if take profit level that ...

So far this startegy is showing great promise, I usually trade GbpUsd and EurUsd. Positive pips so far despite choppy ranging conditions, keeping it tight with 15+3 . Another gotcha, I was stopped out for 3 pips and not 30. Obviously the 5 figure ...

For US brokers, maybe an OCO function required to take the first entry on offer?

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve mk 2

Interesting, trying on a spare Demo account as from this am, no triggers yet, a little early with ranging markets. Going for a 50 pips stop option instead of recovery, look forward to the results.

Reversi: a dynamically calculated x-candle reversal EA by Steve Hopwood

I have added another safety feature to the Buy/Sell EA for thoses senior idiotic moments, still experimenting on demo and found that if I accidently placed a Sell on the chart where the price may be a 100 pips below the entry, it triggers for ...

Thanks, happy with the strategy and potential problems, heres one that has come up and testing my skills. The way I am handling it at this time was to prevent that 6 lot going too far into DD. Waiting for clear signs of retracement if and when it ...

EurJpy not playing nice — Suppose this is where the "Balls of Steel" come in, a bit of draw down on this problem child, taken over manually. Level 3 kicked in on Friday at 115.75 using 1.2.6 recovery, placed a SL at BE this am, good job ...

Agree 100%, my main point was one of cost, yes if you have found an EA that generates enough to cover the cost of a proper VPS then thats the most sensible option. I expect the large majority are "experimenting" on Demo or risking tiny amounts.

Wow, thats hell of a lot of code running on 40 pairs, probably dependant on a random distribution of ticks and the load on initial startup must be high! I have been thinking recently if it is possible to run low priority code say once a minute such ...

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve mk 2

Yes, eased quite a bit last night, quite a panic after Bernanchio buggered things up, its been a while since we have had a NFP tomfoolery week like this. However, must say that diversity still helps. My Demo account whacked on NzdUsd trade for +200 ...

The Beastie is about to be tested, should have wound it down prior to NFP, big risk off moves today down a 1000 pips over 3 pairs, 10% DD, tiny lots so not worried. I will be keeping a close eye to ensure that the 6 lot doesnt kick in too early in ...

Out of losing Euro at last — The Beastie was in a losing 300 pip trade on 3 Micro lots over the last few days, news this pm caused a bit of "Risk Off" so the Beasty wacked on a 0.06 short to close out the problem child with a few pips profit! ...

Concurr, I used them too in the past, no major problems, does what it says on the tin! I am only risking small accounts in the hands of EA's so decided to have my own server tucked out of the way in my shed, small PC running Server 2003 with a UPS. ...
