i haven't test it yet, but i think the logic is the same except the parameter. i think it better for us to focus on eurusd,usdjpy,and eurjpy. if we have 2 or more triangular pair to trade, so we must divide to trade that. So why not we just enlarge ...

No, example this: If EURUSD open price at 01.30gmt is 1.5500 so our buystop is at 1.5553 (1.5500+50+3 spread for EURUSD at FxOpen) and our take profit is at 1.5563. If USDJPY open price at 01.30gmt is 105.00 so our buystop is at 105.53 (105.00+50+3 ...

My open price at 01.30 gmt is 1.5398 so 1.5398 + 50 pips + 3 spread = 1.5451 (sory if at post number 1 i don't say to add spread) At FxOpen spread ==> EURUSD=3pips USDJPY=3pips EURJPY=4pips

If you put buystop and also sellstop for EURUSD, USDJPY, and EURJPY, you will loss if triggered both side. I think it's ok to put one of this : - Buy EURUSD, Buy USDJPY, Sell EURJPY or - Sell EURUSD, Sell USDJPY, Buy EURJPY ( i haven't back test it) ...

I think it so.. but after i backtest from January 2008 it shows a good (not prefect) system. But i think this : If for example EURUSD and USDJPY triggered, we cancelled all take profit and cancelled EURJPY pending order.So Buy EURUSD and Buy USDJPY ...

10pips because i have test it and that is the best take profit i think, because if 2 orders triggered we must follow the scenario number 2 which i post earlier. Yes, yesterday EURJPY triggered at about 07.31gmt Buy EURUSD, buy USDJPY, sell EURJPY ...
