Hi,

You just need to update the license at MQL5. It will be updated.

Really?! I'm sorry, I didn't notice... I see there are several EUR/USD trades open but they are well within the recommendations again at the moment...

I will keep an eye out, what draw-down did you experience?

Hi Henry,

I've double-checked, and you're right - the DD is within the recommended balance.  I've been looking at my own data, which suggests EUR/USD has set a new DD record for the pair since I started using - but actually is still within the recommended 200 pt safety net, so all's good!  Thanks for responding...

Hello Adnan,
I am using the EA on 2 live accounts with the same broker.
On 1 account, I have set the EA to trade higher lots than recommended while the other account is set conservative with smaller lots.
The aggressive account has hit 60% DD while the conservative account is at 25% DD. Today, I noticed that the EA on my aggressive account did not take many winning trades on USDJPY and EURUSD, which trades were taken by the same EA on my conservative account.
Both EAs are set to the same parameters except different volumes, there have not been any stopout or margin call. Auto trade is active with a smile on both accounts.
Will a higher DD (60%) cause the EA to missing some trades?
Is this part of the strategy?

I have checked the EA log, there is no error or warning.
Thank for clarifying.

Consider this an upvote, but that above is one of the best advices I ever had come to read, honestly. And I am saying that as an inexperienced 'newborn' trader who in the past had struggles to keep his calm. 
I had the lot sizes too big, and/or panicked at the DD, wanting to close the EA's trades, or I looked at the DD and figured I should open trades by myself to make up for the floating losses (which usually ended up adding even more to the DD). 

So while it still might me wise to keep looking at the market (instead of really just go gaming all day), educate yourself in terms of forex-trading, everybody (fresh traders very much) might be well advised to take a step back and not be overly concerned with every pip moving in the 'wrong' direction. 
If you take Henrys lot-size-calculation seriously and follow on that, and if you keep your cool and don't act purely on emotions (greed/panic), you can wait things out. Take a look at Adnans signal, it has gone through DD in the past, but until now, every DD-situation has been resolved. 

My heartrate goes up a lot thinking about what lows EURUSD is going to hit this week, but eventually we will survive and carry on to new profits. Just fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride.

Hi Adnan,

1. Can you add profit percentage and overall drawdown percentage to the info display?

2. Is it possible to enlarge the small info display text?

3. There is a setting for trading round the clock 24 hours. If set to false, does that mean all positions will be closed outside the time range? Is it a good idea to use this?

Thanks,

Ting

Hi,

If I upgrade to the newest version, are there any Set files for Aggressive, etc.?

If so then please provide link or send me the file.

Thank you

Sasa

I recommend you refer to the settings as given in the EA's description, e.g.: https://c.mql5.com/31/154/saad-trendtracker-screen-5932.png

Thank you. If that's for the latest version and also what Adnan is using then I will adjust it.

Thanks

There is no Middle HigherTF 1440 setting, this must be from an older version. If 1440 stands for

minutes, then D1 (1 Day) is already set by default, 1440 minutes = 24h = 1 Day D1.

Same for MiddleTF it is already default set to H1 1 hour, which is 60 minutes.

So if I'm correct, then all I need to change is the Multiplier from 1 to 2.

Adnan, please confirm and update those outdated screenshots Tim Kocher, who was kind

and first to reply, referred to in his reply regarding my question.

Thank you

Sasa

Hey SasaKTrade,

if you simply read the forums a couple pages back you would have seen the new set file are in this post.

I'm very disappointed. :(

@ Tim Kocher: Thank you! I was so happy reading your message! :)

Hi Henry,

Thanks for the reply and the link you provided. Though all I see here is this:

So what does it mean? That the new version is by default Aggressive settings

and simply needs the multiplier set from "1" to "2"?

I just want to use without trailing, but Aggressive setting. For older version I

had set files: 1. Conservative. 2. Aggressive with trailing. 3. Aggressive without trailing.

Do you understand now what I am asking?

Sorry to disappoint though I am not sure how I disappoint you, Tim Kocher, or Adnan.

I take it you mean it as a joke, or I was misunderstood, or I unintentionally came across

in a rude way towards Tim or Adnan? I thanked Tim and said he was kind to reply, after

I first wrote a personal message to Adnan, which I waited for reply but never received.

Therefore I wrote my question here on the comments forum. Said thank you to Tim,

but the screenshot is from an old version and does not use same measurement units as

the new version. So I said it would be a good idea for Adnan to update those screenshots.

The best idea? Why not have set files on the main product description page. Or perhaps

for me to just shut up to avoid disappointing people. Or scroll back a few days and 

not write my question at all.

Thanks

I'm good, did not take any offence at all. I am sorry for providing an outdated version and I totally agree with updating the screenshots would be nice to have. 
I was not aware they were outdated, so: sorry for that. - I could have scrolled back by myself, but was a bit lazy :D (I honestly expected the description to match the current version). 

It would obviously be good idea to not let the setfiles 'descent' into the depth of the discussion forum but have them pinned prominently in the product's description. 

Trying to answer your initial question:
I believe the multiplier settings are indeed what makes a setting "aggressive". So you might want to take the SaadTT_without_Trailing.set and just set the multiplier to "2" .

Best regards 

Thank you Tim.

Have a great weekend!

Sasa

Hi Tim

Thanks for idea, I have struggled to include set files in product description but Product description is uploaded without setfiles by support everytime. I again requested, lets see.

Hey SasaKTrade,

yes it was a sarcastic statement/joke. A lot of times people can't be bothered to scroll through one or two pages of forum history to find what they are looking for forcing us to repeat the same things over and over again. I thought you were yet another one that didn't find the new set files that are literally only a couple pages back.

"If I upgrade to the newest version, are there any Set files for Aggressive, etc.? If so then please provide link or send me the file."
^ the etc. just made it seem like you were asking for the set files, not specifically Aggressive.

Then the whole settings hacking based on outdated images and messing around didn't make me realize you only wanted some specific behavior.

I apologize, it wasn't meant to be offensive or anything.

Yes you are not alone, try to remain calm... I'm in a miserable position myself as well because I manually sold 50 oil barrels when it was 55.105$ and now it's 79.036$ causing -1021.24€ draw-down on my account on top of STT, I will never be manually trading again lol.

EUR/USD is making a new draw-down record but historically we are almost at the turnaround point again where STT will hopefully place a large long and close all of this, it has tried a couple times already.

I've been using the expert for a month, and I don't have a big DD in EURUSD. I use the time frames: M1 twice, M5 twice, M15, M30, H1. Aggressive setting without trailing on all TF. From my point of view, the expert works quite well on EURUSD. Only one A and one B position open on M1 at the moment.

So, did you change, close or open positions manually? Other Magic Numbers set?
