Default only. Changed only milestone growth and relative stop.

how it should look? relative stop?
it depends on your testing. I personally set mine at 0.15


I have default 0.3

What is this setting about in reality?

the stop setting milestone computes depend on the total profit you currently have per basket based on a certain period you specify QueryHistory (figure number)

try to study the settings... lots of stuff to discover there and experiment on forward demo test and backtest


Hello,

Could you give a live example how the stop should work, because I was doing backtests for 2013 on EUR/AUD and at some point it just wipes all your equity( opens 5 trades and waits untill you have 0 equity), stop doesnt seem to work in backtest at all, tried to change settings, didnt help. Would be really helpfull to understand the idea of the stop.

Thanks in advance!

I think based on the code, you should have profits first in the period QueryHistory (number of periods), then it calculates the relativestop loss amount as a percentage of that profit.
 

Thursday evening, the weeks goal almost reached.

2,3% - 1414 pips. 491 pips just today.


Milestone 22.5, 16 Pairs, 4 trades max, 0.08% margin use for the first trade, 0.03% for the following trades. The first trades size is between 0.01 and 0.03 lot, depends of the pair.


Successful trading to all of you, take care of correlation. It matters. Several hundred pips of drawdown happens to many pairs, especcially to gbp/jpy, gbp/nzd and nzd/jpy. I think, that may happen to each and every pair.

I'll test the relative stop in Demo the coming week. For the real account, its disabled.

 
hi, how does the indicator work??? i see nothing after drag and drop onto the window.

my friend, i concur with your results... lots of pips again this week as well
 

You are right when saying be careful of correlation.

Better to choose pairs that have weak correlation with each other.

 
Gbp usd some floating losses but i will let milestone manage it

It looks like we will have a MT4 update at oanda now. And I guess, with the 600 version, almost no EA will work anymore.


Question to Trevone.. will you do an update for Milestone, to let it work with MT4 600? You may answer in messages, if you are still locked here

I tried to recompile.. There are 3 errors but it still trades
 
Did anyone get a lot of trades whole monday?
 

Trevone, my truth compliments about this master piece.

However, on my forward demo test, after a glorious row of 16 consecutive wins, the EA stopped making trades. Why? will be some issue of the setup that stops the EA after a certain growth amount of the equity? please explain and give the path to keep on trading.

Thank you very much
