No problem ia1979. I tested it with different brokers now and also on the MT4 Strategy Tester. For the Strategy Tester the trial version for the tick data has been expired so i can't test it any longer. The default history data MT4 provides is not ...

Hi. I could not monitor it so no idea what the spread has been around that time but SL was -10 and i used a entry buffer of 3 Pips according to the EA settings. It placed the sell order even before the actual low break again and i also had a buffer ...

NTBB FTSE. Both breaks seemed to be good for the +20 so far. Just the EA failed for me to execute it probably once again. image

BillyBar, looks like getting a fail. Currently -16 ... image edit, 08:42. Fail. image

@ia1979 Not sure what the EA did wrong here again. Seems like it took the trade nearly correct at the low (still a bit too early for buffer of 3) but then stopped me out far before my -10 Pips input. TP +20 should have been hit here in this case. ...

I guess he meant having the right mental strength with view to long term success. For sure that doesn't change the outcome of any particular trade.

Directional bias in trade planning

But what is wrong with quick ins and outs? A great trader in my eyes doesn’t needs to have cultivated anything instead of ending up with a greater bankroll after he started with trading the moment he stopped/retired from it but thats it. If all ...

I don't know what a Twee is and have enough of my own t-shirts in my closet so i don't have to rely on alps. It was only a guess that Billy might be away for a plain simple reason as beeing on vacation or that he is somehow else busy with real life. ...

I think you have to reach out to FF but they probably won´t edit an existing topic in absence of the creator otherwise anyone could ask for edits. Maybe Billy just went on vacation or is somehow else busy with life. I heard that should happen

Yes for today's FTSE trade i had the lot multiplier setted as default (2x, max. 5). The max orders value however was setted to 1. So maybe the lot multiplier was the cause for the expert taking 2 additional orders at increased size after the fail, ...

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

Yes the expert is missing some kind of gap/slippage control i think. I still wonder why it then took the trade at a even lower price. I mean if there was a gap up any market order should have opened for even a higher price but not anywhere below the ...

Nice further move down on FTSE since NTBB. +20 TP x 4 was in. image BillyBar was good for approx. +35 after the high break. The following up low break was good for approx. +25 so far. Nice to see GBP/USD having a day again where it's not touching ...

FTSE in the end for today after 3 orders. 09:30. Disabled the auto-trading now. Will have to find out why it opens multiple orders after a fail and increasing position size. image

BillyBar GBP/USD +5 with the high break. I am done for today. Yaaay. At least still made some money from trading at the end of the week with my first and only trade i managed to do. image

Yo. My first two orders got stopped out. 1 x 1 lots -10, 1 x 2 lots -10 It now opened a third order taking the low break again with a sell and it's looking better at the moment, but lets see if it will reach to TP 20 this time. Its now at 4 lots ...

Placed orders on the BillyBar. Lets see. Would prefer long, but what ever happens first. image

Hm yeah. Here is what the EA just did to me. Looks better now but still something wrong. I am using a 3 Pips buffer as recommended. Low broke and woohoo it opened the order i think nearly at the correct spot then got stopped out for the -10 a moment ...

@Claudia the FTSE NTBB break today. image High broke and moved 21 Pips from there before it turned again. A buffer of 3 Pips therefor probably would have missed a TP of 20 Pips in my case. As i understood from your earlier posts TP/SL 20/10 is ...
