Matrix, I do know how to read the code. I thought in more user friendly way...For example, If you set this parameter to some value, EA will try to..Ok nevermind

Sorry, I thought that was what you wanted, woops

Teamfri,

The maxtrade was set at 3 on all 4 pair and was opening multiple trades with some lot size increases before the big move. It then receded back to the 1trade opened per pair and .01 max lots. During the run a trade would hit TP and immediately open another in the same direction. It still remains in this trading mode? This account has a $350 balance.

The EA is just now back to multiple trading and changing lot sizes.

I noticed the conservative pullback move by the ea about 13:30 when the large bar appeared. It has been in that mode until now.

Ok, so by turning SL on with a 1, where do I set the value of the SL to 30 pips?

Close of positions.

Hi

A set of short positions are opened for GBP/USD in my test.

I saw the last position was closed with profit. Read from code,

this should result in the close of all other opening positions.

Strange to me, those opening positions are not closed after the close of the last position. Instead, it continued opened another new short position (with the lot size the same as the one just closed and with the similar price).

Can someone help me to understand this? I am using the following parameters.

...

extern int MaxTrades=5;

extern int SecureProfit=10;

extern int AccountProtection=1;

extern int OrderstoProtect=3;

...

Thanks!

Scott

Once again I have posted this description of MaxTrades and InitialStop.

Once you get to maxtrades, if the price continues to go against you, your losses are unlimited. The modification sets the stop point at the place where the last trade would reach the 15 pip loss point + the value of initial stop. So, for each of the orders the stops would be as follows if Pips = 15 and InitialStop = 2, MaxTrades = 5:

Let's say your first trade sells at 1.2600

1st trade stop at 1.2600 + 75 + 2 = 1.2677

2nd trade opens at 1.2615

2nd trade stops at 1.2615 + 60 + 2 = 1.2677

3rd trade opens at 1.2630

3rd trade stop at 1.2630 + 45 + 2 = 1.2677

4th trade opens at 1.2645

4th trade stop at 1.2645 + 30 + 2 = 1.2677

5th trade opens at 1.2660

5th trade stop at 1.2660 + 15 + 2 = 1.2677

So when the price gets to 1.2677 all trades closed out at the stop loss. See yeoelevens earlier post for dollars example.

In practice the stops will vary by a few pips.
