is the modified ea available,thanks

 
Im back in town. sorry for the delay in response. im going to play with the new EA now. thanks again.
 
doshur:

i have some questions

1. how do you determine the range to be 20 pips on the prev candle? any calculation i can do to know the value?

2. how do you determine the trend?

3. how do you determine the stop loss?

i determine trends with trendwalls. if im trading the 2hr stepper, then i use the low of the previous candle plus 5 pips. but i have a friend that uses just a random 15-20 pip stop loss.

 

Hi crazfoto


Im interested to know how do I calculate the range to be 20 pips?


Thanks

Hi there I have been using the stepper ea which was done very well on a demo it works very well, but I need some advie how do you increase the lot size the default is 0.10.

Hi Steve

i tried it, it is not working good with me

i am using FXCM broker, what broker you use?

 

So i figured out how to possibly make the Stepper trade a little more profitable. But i need a new EA to do it, or this one modified.


I set a high and low range. once the market has a candle open above or below that range, it enters the market to head in the direction of the breakout. it would also need to put the stop on the other side of the breakout plus a 5-10 pip fudge factor.


Example: AUDJPY, we got a candle open below my low of 81.49. The EA would put me in on a sell putting my stop at my resistance of 81.96 plus say 5 pips.


I used to have an EA that would get me in once a certain number is breached, but i realized I got a lot of fakey's trading that way. When I have a candle open outside of my range, price action make the move more committed.


Please help. I know its an easy one to write. I attached a photo of the trades showing how i trade it.
