Ok, done for today. I didn't wait until London close, as you can see the last cycle closed around 15:35 GMT, and that's when I turned it off. Why? The move up seemed exhausted and I expected PA to go sideways from there. Spot on. It recovered well ...

I see. The SL function is already there, so we still need the TP to be coded in. Is the SL setting in pips or equity? I understand that it manages a cycle as a whole, not single trades? I'm glad you said it, as I was going to point out again that I ...

Many thanks!

Hmm... I don't really buy it, since you say you've experienced the same, with a different broker. I'd appreciate if you could elaborate on the below a bit more. Still trying to understand what we're up against here.

That's a clever way around it, thanks for the suggestion, dambuster. Still, I hope someone will finally figure out what's causing the unexpected cycle closures... A few questions, please: - what's the spread on a1pari? - what's your GridStep ...

Neither. When it started closing the trades around 1202, it was still carrying a lot of negative P/L. That's why I was so surprised to see the trades close where they did. The trades never got anywhere near 1208 as they all closed within one minute ...

Yes, exactly. It was up by about 2% around 11.00 London time, and then began to slide after the NYO double top, hitting the lower sells, before the spike up. Pips, you said you traded it manually. That's exactly what I intend to use it for. ...

London hasn't been generous today. The EA's taken a beating, albeit not that big, so it'll be interesting to see if and how it recovers throughout the week. I left it running past London close today (so it did catch a little bit of the latest spike ...

Thanks, Kash. I value your input. If we never try, we'll never know. So, let's keep on trying, until we nail it.

There's really no rush, Magix... I think the EA is a good base for any add-on trigger or filter, so I'm very interested to see your magic woven into it. As long as its original logic is not lost in the process, it's all good. Down? Let the bygones ...

Pleasure to see you here and ready to roll, Magix! Thank you for taking it on board. From now on, it can only get better! Glad you find the idea exciting. So do I. Apparently, it can be quite a constructive excercise to go beyond one's norm ...

@Kash, With all due respect for your effort and initiative, I think the way things are going, I'm not surprised that you don't see a way around. Please don't take it the wrong way, but you're chasing an illusion here. Rather than try and make it a ...

Thanks for your comments, Pipster. One correction: the commission is 0.03 per 0.01 lot, and 0.06 per 0.02. That's exactly what I'm intending to do. If we're really on to something here, it's got to prove to be repeatable, first. I'm really glad that ...

Too early to get excited, tradeforlife. These are one day results. Once I see any kind of consistency, that's where the fun starts.

I wouldn't dare to let this loose cannon (with all due respect, Pipster) anywhere near my live account, yet. Demo, of course.

Thanks, Kash. There's absolutely no rush. I'm happy enough that you have this feature on your list. Surely, I can stop the bot manually as I did yesterday, but having it automated would be very handy indeed.

kashTrader, I believe you missed my post (as quoted below). Would appreciate your reply... a simple 'yes' or 'no' will suffice as I know you're very busy with other improvements for the EA. Thank you.

Hey Pipster, Please find attached my detailed statement. It looks like I've been too optimistic about the 10 sec cycle closure; from what I can see, it's more like 20-25 sec. I still don't mind as long as it's racking up profit. Surely, you can make ...

Interesting... Armada is not my main broker. I've used them live on and off for over a year as a kind of experimental playground for various bots, BUT never on gold. From my experience, their live execution is good, with occasional slippage in the ...

I agree... if we only focused on selecting the times when gold is likely to move far and quick enough to outrange the box in one direction, even with some inevitable slippage, I guess the results might be close to mine of today, on live. I like the ...
