Hi autofx101,

Great settings! I tried them with 120, and that account traded better than my other 120 with default. The only thing I had to change was ECN to 1 (true). You're not running an ECN account? You have that set to 0. (false).

I'm going to try to get 116 set back up and try your settings on that too.

Your the man, thanks, George

A few days ago, you had this trade on your MDP 116 account.

02.03.2012 15:37-02.03.2012 15:58 - EURUSD - Sell -1.31941 - 1.31886 1.31053 83.3 --2480.00 21m 58.96%

It didn't have a TP value, and it lasted 21 minutes.
Did you maual trade that one?

if you set 'autoapplyECN' to true, MDP will change the parameters of 'use stop orders' to false when it encounters any requotes and/or slippages (if i remember correctly). if 'use stop orders' is set to false, the performance of MDP reduces greatly so i prefer that MDP doesnt change my settings and so i set 'autoapplyECN' to false and 'use stop orders' permanently set to true.

Very nice! whats the ea?

So you are running an ECN account, you just set autoapplyECN to false anyway to get better results?

doesnt matter the account type. i just set ECN to false...

Has anyone tried these settings on a few ECN brokers and noticed improved results?

Can you please comment your thoughts on this MD account as it apparently is running with Trailing Stop = False: https://www.myfxbook.com/members/shadowmt/alpari-nz-ndd/122198

At the moment history is not open. But in the past history trades showed that trades either hit stop or target.

my broker is killing the account with spread spikes constantly taking out my stops. closing down and exiting with my money soon

Motherf.... brokers. I had similar story with at least 5 or 6 brokers. You make profits and then strange things start to happend, slippage is worse, exec times are worse or they do something with spread.
Metatrader environment will probably never be fair for us traders, we have to move to another platform like currenex to have fair trade conditions, brokers will always screw us on mt4 servers plugins.

well, i have made a killing with this broker. my total lot size on all my acc are usually between 15 - 20lots/ trade. its sad to see they have started playing with my platform but i'll just move on. have started live testing two different brokers. will put up the links soon.
i actually do blame myself for not preparing for this kinda broker intervention earlier...i shoulda had my alternatives up and running long ago with minimal lots

yes with MDP it's always like this, even if You have working broker You have too look for alternatives all the time to have replacement.

btw. You reached prett nice lot size 15-20 is just a dram for me so far

If I set trailing stop to False, will it close trade when either TP or SL is hit? That's probably a good choice because often trades are taken out too soon just before running to profit.

not necessarily cos MDP will still close out trades internally. you can also set funky exit to false for MDP to target larger profits and stay in trades just a little longer.

Is there any way to let the trades run to initial TP or SL, which is about 20 pips. This EA maybe more successful just letting the trades run the full course instead of exiting within a minute or two.

I believe that setting Hard_Stop_Trailing will do the job. At least that's what 'trailing' means. But not sure whether developer uses the word trailing with something else in mind.

primevalea,
are you the same guy on the original MDP thread? what are you trying to say with this pictures?

Yes, really, explain this data to us.

I think I see what your getting at. If this is run on a back test, it has different settings for the back test years to acheive perfect results? 😲
