You tell me why they are blocking it. It just happened again. FXCM kicked into life and raised some Hi Rider trades, Alpari disconnected from 14:13 to 14:31, the exact time that Hi Rider was trading. I'm sorry but this is more than coincidence.
Are you trading Fusion live on Alpari then? Maybe they're testing the code that disconnects Fusion users on the demo server before putting it live. Maybe they are seeing if people notice. Who knows! All I know is that after day one, pretty much every time Hi Rider triggers Alpari disconnect. With regards to IamFx - I suggest you read the reviews on ForexPeaceArmy. 11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature. |

I think the only think I did was change the lot sizes. but as of right now it has closed 29 trades all profits for a total 555 pips. I am trying to setup other server to break out each of the 5 strategies. i noticed on yours that you have 3 graphs. is there a way i can funnel all the trades on to 1 chart? I am new to this fxbook site. |

I have it on a alpari demo and forex.com live account. My account placed lmd trades an hour later as forex is gmt 0 . This made a big difference as demo account went long gbp 15 min before selloff. Live went short gbpusd an hour later for 74 pips i closed it at 49 with a proportional trailing stop.
I would suggest that the exits need help. If it is launching multiple trades why close them at same time. Why not scale out with tp at support levels and have a trailing stop. SuperVolcano placed a nice long gbpjpy trade Wed it was up over 105 pips only to go back to down 30 pips and closed for a 35pip winner. In my live account I manually took 2 of the 3 trades off at 100+ and put a trail on the third to lock in 45 pips. I have had a good 3 days up 12% on live account but I have augmented the exits to take profits and improve risk /reward levels. Take as much as you can while you can. |

I have been unhappy so far with the ability of the strategies to take profit at the right time, but this is often the case with EA's ( and often with manual trading! ). I guess the settings that it are provided with are the ones that optimised well. 11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2.

I have been toying with the idea of putting in an EA that would manage the TS and TP levels for LMD as it doesn't see to do to well if you are using extremely low risk levels. Ideally my plan is to find something that would move the SL to BE after it is x amount of pips in profit or has moved into profit as far as the SL is currently set. I had one someplace, I just have to find it now.

There are a few free ea's to manage exits. Order guardian and trade protector on the mql4 community are good starting points. You could modify trade protector to have 2 profit thresholds with different trailing percentages much like you described.
It is meant as a profit taking ea much like a chandelier stop. It does use a proportional trailing stop which is an interesting concept. Instead of a fixed pip trail, it will trail say 85% of profit once it reaches a certain trigger. Order guardian allows you to draw trend lines for exit tp and stop loss. Both of these exits are hidden from your broker and require the bid to hit the trendline. (it wont trigger its stop loss from them increasing spread). I used both of these templates to create my own instead of starting from scratch. Take as much as you can while you can. |

I have update my account to Myfxbook EA. hopefully that will update the chart soon. easier to see the break down of the 5 EAs. Steve, just a question about Myfxbook EA. i added it to a different chart because you can only have 1 EA attached to any given chart, is this what you did as well. Thanks for the help. |
