Hi gwindy, I am also using the same broker, may I know what is the value you put in Slippage?

Good luck in the morning mate!
I auto-closed out 30 minutes before close on Friday arvo. -87 pips on my solo AUDUSD. (ouch)
All the best. I think lots of us are hoping it turns in your favour.

Cheers Sticko. I closed out last night with 3K loss but clawed back today with 2K. Happy with that really as that AUD did some crazy sh#t.

You can say that again! For me today was a winner, I too clawed back almost all of my losses from Friday. I've stiil got confidence in the EA.
In the next day or so, I may have a question or two for you about your finer settings😄, in the meantime I'll just do some very minor tweaking myself, and see how it goes.
Mate, best of luck!

Does anybody here use optimizer in your mt4 to optimize on 1-3yrs for each pair, or y'all just use the default settings? Curious. Maybe none of you use optimizer as just one tester pass is slow I've heard?

Yes i was using it but it takes quite some time to do a run, Im playing with the standard settings optimized with 1 or 2 trades to keep the DD lower.

Tried too, but its way too slow. I have been using the default settings and running it on VPS

Interesting gwindy, you lose >20% initially then decide to deposit $7,000, pretty damn good confidence you'd be alright, how'd you figure? If it were me I would've ONLY backed off my lots and then after flurry of recent winning trades kicked myself, Lol. Well, maybe I would've kept same lot sizes and at least broke even too. :)

Hi Nick, I have switched to fixed lots....1 lot for AUD & EUR and 1.5 lots for NZD & GBP.

Fortunate timing is all :) The 7K deposit is the balance from the high risk account I was running with REV Trader Pro. Have kept my lot sizes the same for now.

Hi gwindy, I notice your stop losses vary and was wondering what your stop losses is on average for each pair?

I feel the default settings of 150 and 120 pips for GBP & NZD is pretty high any ideas? or keep with it?

Hi gwindy, I see you have a few trades for EURUSD recently but there is no such trade for Doug or my account. Are you using the provided set file or your own set file?

Hi @ccwong29, I must apologise...I have just started adding other trades in addition to RTP. I have used the custom analysis to show RTP performance...just look for the blue line labelled REV.

In terms of following RTP trades on my account just look for the Magic Number 4668. These are solely RTP trades. I am using the developers default set files and have stopped trading GBP as recommended at this point in time. RTP has been quiet but worth the wait.

Hi @NikX, just greed and very high risk using Vortex Pro :) I'm not bitter about it as I knew the risk. I see some got the losing trades and others didn't- probably due to broker price feed etc which happens.

Im sure you'll recover from that.. REV has been killing it lately!
