Hi Consider a TP when your trade returns to the Bosun line or the top/bottom yellow square line, depending on whether you are in a Buy or Sell trade. Paul

Hi Steve Thanks for spotting and fixing my 'School boy coding error'! Also, for my Sandovich changes, I modified your original: - if (LargestLot >= Lot4) return; to the following in order to match Sandovich's manual system: - if (LargestLot >= Lot4 ...

I should have made the Sandovich variant a user option in the first place! I'll try and add this later. EDIT Hi I see that Steve's done this already with the UseIndividualTradeStopLoss option. Thanks Steve! Note to self: Must read all the posts ...

OK, so I've added in some SL code, which should be an octave below the open price. With Steve's TP changes this should meet Sandovich's system, but no trailing stop yet. I've adjusted the variables, so it should be good to go ootb! The SL's are ...

On my TakeProfit version I am occansionally getting two pending trades for the same lot size and pair. If the price is hit then both trades are opened. Is anybody else seeing this? Sandovich - I've had a look at your variant and the Pippo code. So, ...

Hi Dave Not had much time to look, but I've used the GlobalOrderClosure function before. Enable this and decide whether you want a dollar, percent of account balance or pip profit and MPTM will close ALL open trades when that profit is hit. Hope you ...

TakeProfit version — Hi All Attached is a version of Pippo that contains a 'TakeProfit' function. If this function is enabled Pippo will close all the trades for the pair in question when the user defined profit level is achieved. The ...

It was cold yesterday and I wasn't thinking very well or at all
When I saw the TakeProfit 'issue' Pippo had not hedged yet, which was correct and so I believe it correctly didn't close the trades. I'll keep quiet today and work on the ...Pippo: a Murrey Maths retrace auto-trading EA by SteveHopwood

Hi Steve and coders I've been looking into adding this 'TakeProfit' function and have got myself a bit

Steve I saw in the Reversi thread that you were needing a rest, well deserved!! I'm hoping to get some time this week and if I do I'll have a look at adding the 'TakeProfit' function, well truth be today 'importing' some of your code to do the job ...

I don't believe we need the whole of MPTM for this bot, but the user definable close at $x or x pips is probably the way to go. Trailing stop, my opinion only no evidence, would reduce the returns available. Steve, if the whole of MPTM is easier ...

So, I was initially thinking about 2% of account balance would be a good return. Is this too greedy based on the single basket I observed? IMHO yes, the beauty of this system is the regular trading that produces the returns, so I'm thinking 0.5-1 % ...

Take the basket — OK, I've something that looks correct, as described/coded, but perhaps doesn't make total sense??? I have 4 open trades on USDSEK, the first two (L1 and L2) are in -ve profit (~ $11) and the second two (L3 and L4) are in +ve ...

Hi Dave I agree with your statement 'It needs to open those next progressive trades to recover.' I've changed my Lots to 0.01, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06 to try and prevent the margin restrictions. So, from the filter point-of-view, should it consider all ...

Hi Steve My question/statement: - When we hit the margin filter I would have expected any pending trades to be deleted, otherwise the margin position could potentially get worse when the price is hit and the trade is opened. My H4 demo is down to ...
