But, you are saying the trailing stop and the timeout will work separately, right?

Maybe if you set the timeout value higher or the pips value higher? Because it will override the trailing stop every time (once the pips value is reached) if it occurs before the trailing stop closes out. Basically it's set to override the trailing ...

Actually the override is used for setting the AccountEquity() target and overrides the E_Target. This is in case you update the EA in the middle of trading (it has more to do with testing) and you don't want all the orders to close early on you. ...

Wow! I'm looking at the Yen, which is down 350 points against the Euro, and 250 points against the US dollar, after I placed the trades late last week, and I now have four trades open (in larger account) for a total of $-135. Of course I also said ...

Yeah, there are still a number of things I'd like to look at, although I think it works reasonably well the way it's set up now. My primary concern, as it's always been, is the major upswings and downswings ... although it seems to do enough of this ...

Hey, that doesn't sound like you're doing too bad. Is that US dollars you're talking about or, your own currency?

What's the cost of living like over there? It's probably a lot less than it is over here. So, if you opened an account with say, $200 or $300, you could probably make just as much use of it as I can with a $3000 account over here or, at least I'm ...

I've been trading live for about the last day and a half now. The going has been a little bit rough, but it's still within the parameters of the backtesting. Oh, you said something earlier about the highs or, especially the lows not showing up when ...

Oh, I guess I didn't quite answer your question. I'm currently working with a $3,000 balance and lot size between 0.5 and 1. Of course you could scale that down to a $1,000 balance and lot size between 0.17 and 0.33. It's still the same "ratio."

The Market is Kicking My Ass! — I guess it depends on how much you think you can afford. I wouldn't start out with too much. Plus, I don't know exactly how you are trading it. I have about $3,100 US in two separate accounts. And I started out ...

I think maybe what you need to do is determine which "ratio" works best for you, and multiply that by your account balance in order to determine the lot size.

Okay I'm looking at it while testing it, and all it does is increase the lot size at the start. That is, if you originally had it set to 0.1, and the multiplier to 1.5, it will start out at .15. So, you may as well have set it to .15 to begin with, ...

No, I just set it up and set it to "1" by default. So, if you leave set there it doesn't change, which is as good as saying it's "false." It's only when you set it to a higher number (or lower) are you selecting it as an option. So you still have a ...

Okay, I think I'll go ahead and add a multiplier to this. I'll set it to "1" by default, and you can change it to 1.5, 2.0 or whatever you prefer. Just remember you're making it riskier by setting it higher.

The lot size is too small. Try lot size of 1.0 or, at least 0.5 ... although it will take forever for it to do anything. What you need to do is take the number I mentioned and multiply it by the balance ... which is $10,000 x 0.000333 = 3.33. This ...

You need to select an option from Option_0_4. Currently it's set at "0" by default, which is "IDLE." I prefer it this way, because if, for whatever reason the EA gets reset, it returns to IDLE and won't open any more trades. It also deletes all ...

So, what lot size are you using, versus the account balance?

Yes, the Power Lots (on 1.1A) works when I do the backtesting, so long as I set it to "true." Also you want to try a lot size of about "1" (with about $3,000 in account). Plus it won't work if you aren't making any money, and it doesn't happen all ...
