The EA will close and restart the cycle if you: close and restart the terminal change the timeframe change the settings So, once you get it running, leave it alone. If you want to change anything, wait for a cycle to close and turn off autotrading. ...

Here are my present settings, dgodfrey. image Your spread is closer to Pipster's, so he's probably the best person to ask that question. But, following the logic of my settings, proportionately, I'd say $1.50-2.00 gaps, with the target at 0.6%. ...

Absolutely. We have to eliminate the 'lady luck' variable from the equation, first...

What can I say... I like what I see. image We'll see what the future brings, but my thoughts are in agreement with dambuster; it's pretty clear that wider gaps and higher equity target play a vital role here.

I'm looking for a dip to $1175-1170; wanna bet?

Count me in the fun club too. It went through today's roller coaster rather gracefully, lol. Just waiting for a convenient moment now to turn it off and add more levels.

Yep, my bad. Thanks for clarifying that.

Ahhh... the good old leverage.

Glad to finally see yours in the green, Pipster! My 'slow earner' (lol) took me by surprise today, but dgodfrey's is just out of this world!! What's the twist in the settings there?

Well, you must admit that it's much 'slower' than the previous one, lol, and today's nice drop certainly helped. Yep, that was my thinking behind the new settings. The only thing I'm still not sure about is how exactly the buffer works? I have it ...

Here's my new tester. The settings are rather conservative: $0.40 gaps/ 30 levels. I suspect it'll be a slow earner as the target has been set at 0.6%. Pipster, I'd appreciate if you could update the link in the first post, as this one is nowhere ...

Right... the few remaining sell stops have been triggered today. With no pendings left, and the negative floating P/L of over 50% of the starting balance, there's no point in waiting for recovery. I'll start a new tester on Monday, with some more ...

Absolutely. For me, this is the baby steps phase with the EA. There's no doubt in my mind, though, that it's a powerful tool. The rest is just fine-tuning. Just to confirm, Pipster; the equitygain setting = 1.0, equals 0.1% of equity as the target, ...

Mine's gone completely pear shaped today. All buys triggered, and only a few sells left. It'd have to go straight up another $40 or so to dig itself out of the hole. The present settings surely are spike friendly, if the EA is activated at the right ...

I think we need to be consistent in our initial goal to make the best of the EA as it is now, first. It has a lot of potential, and the instant SL/TP function will surely make it even better. Hopefully, someone can implement it...

I see, thanks Pipster. So, it's actually my fault this time. Before I restarted the terminal, I had tried to recover the connection with the 'rescan servers' option a few times (which worked for a few seconds each time), and it didn't ...

Thanks for the analysis, Pipster. It's hard to argue with the math, and your conclusion makes sense in this particular case. BUT, it happened again today! The terminal was losing connection time after time on my VPS, so I restarted it, and that's ...

Thanks for another clear explanation, Pipster. No more questions, for now. Please find attached screenshots of yesterday's 9th/last cycle (the Ninth Circle of Dante's Inferno comes to mind, lol). I hope the answer is there to be found... Fingers ...

Thank you for the thorough explanation, Pipster. I fully understand it now. I have one suggestion and one question. Suggestion: To keep things neat and transparent, maybe it'd be a good idea to add a paragraph to the first post, where you list the ...
