Experts: Catching Gaps - page 2

 
Hi samir, I've tried your gap catching EA, and I must say I'm impressed by the results. I have some comments on the fact that most of the winning trades (and the biggest) are generated by the Week-end period as the transmission stops BUT Can we consider this gap as a real market reaction or only the consequence of the transmission stop that our computer analyse as a gap (I mean that this range of price has been covered by the real market) ? Nevertheless it works... You posted this message in 2007 ; did you upgrade your EA with any security system - you mention that you do not believe in stop loss... I would like to try your EA in real market condition but I would prefer to discuss with you before to optimise this try, and limit the risks. Thank you Lionel Direct mail : lionel.houba@wanadoo.fr
 

Had the same idea myself, but has not gotten to it yet. Have you made modifications since then Samirmta?

Happy Trading,

endi

 
thanks great job it works on GBJPY
 
you done a great work on this ea. thanks for this work. 
 
it is risky by higher volumes
 

Hi,

 

After an order is filled, there is no Stop loss and Profit target. Should I enter it manually? 

 

 

Thanks 

 
Has anyone had luck getting this to work? If so what time frame were you running it on? Thanks in advance!
