Hi I don't know, if this has already been asked here, but I couldn't find it anywhere. My Metatrader4 platform lags big time and I don't know, what to do with it.

<p>hi guys, no matter what settings i use, sooner or later i always get the problem that the EA has one losing position open where price never comes back and can only trade in the other direction (same with trade trend on/off)<br />how do you deal with these situations? i read some comments before that one should always "trade with the trend" and only allow long or short trades, but to be honest: we all don´t have a magic crystal ball and know where price will go (if so we won´t need a grid system but just get rich in trading the trend)</p> <p>so how and based on what facts do you adjust your settings regarding the "only but / only sell" descision and when do you close running, losing positions?</p> <p>thanks for advice<br /></p>
