Pocketguy - correct, I added more equity to my MT4 accounts (Tradency closed out the EUR baskets as it's TP was closer and got hit so no need to add more margin there). It is clear that trading pairs that are correlated should be done so at the lowest risk setting with a decent amount of margin per pair - no questions asked! Whilst it was nice to see nearly 30% growth in my first month (running risk at the highest recommended settings) I can now see that it can easily go the other way as we are evidencing.All I can say is what Dustin has said in the past - run as few pairs as possible at t...

Totally agree here littlemax...the more equity the better...I'd suggest one pair per $5K at risk 1. Keeping the balance under $20K would make a difference...highest lot size I saw on risk three for a pair was .67 (it'd make a difference to risk but also to reward - and I guess this is the real key - what is your risk/reward tolerance?)

Damn...starting to thin I should have closed out of the EUR on MT4 manually...😲.

EA has just closed EUR/USD basket for net gain of $110...thank F#$k!!!Now just looking to the MT4's to hit their PT's and I'm out of the EUR up...this is not how I thought this was going to play out. GBP/USD is looking better as well, but now I have capital tied up in hedges that I'm going to be waiting a while to see a reversal on. At least I have control of those though.I'm hoping everyone else has seen successful trades on their oldest EUR baskets?

Going to stick to my guns and add equity to my 2 x MT4 accounts. Willing to ride this one out, and lower my stops on hedges...let's see what happens.

Thanks fughe, appreciate your input as always...very sane comments in a (slightly) insane market (at least at present anyways).I'm going to ride the DD out on my Tradency account, DD is about 38% there, so room to recover. As for my other two MT4 accounts, DD is far more serious and if the early session dictates, I'm going to add more capital to both accounts and ride this out for as long as it takes. Hell of a way to have to tie up more capital, but I am going to let the EA try and recover over time. Risk has been reduced to 1 on both MT4's so will let them ride until an inevitabl...

I agree with your comments Julian, fughe and tradingshed, and looking at the way this EAworks increasing equity seems to be the best option whilst reducing risk and letting the EA do its thing.Obviously market sentiment is stating that that could be throwing good money after bad...

I think the trade in question here is as follows:01.30.2012 04:01 01.30.2012 18:38 EURUSD Sell 0.47 - 1.30814 1.31801 1.30814 98.7 463.89 14h 37m 1.72%This trade is still open in all three of my platforms (2 x MT4 and 1 x Tradency). Could it have been closed manually, as my TP target is showing as approx. 184 pips which it did not appear to get anywhere near.I want to be clear here - I am NOT casting aspersions or pointing the finger at anyone - it is software after all (FFS) and software can be inherently unreliable at the best of times. This could have been a bug or something else,...

Hi GuysEUR/USD open on two accounts (MT4 EA) and open on Tradency account. Not sure what gives with the close of EUR/USD trades on the wpfx live account?I had also seen a large trade added to baskets on both EUR/USD and EUR/GBP after I had reduced risk to 1 to avert further huge DD. It has subsequently moved trades to risk 1, but not before adding that large trade to 2 baskets.Good luck to everyone sweating the EUR swings at present - logic does not necessarily precede emotion in these markets.

I'd agree with the Uh oh! Trouble with trading correlating pairs on high risk, but I am going to leave this untouched as the last time I played with it and manually closed pairs out I made a lost only to see a reversal two weeks later.I've discovered the true essence of trading this bot is to have both enough margin and enough leverage to ride these price consolidations out.I am happy to play the wait and see game - stay tuned!

OK - question of interest - who, like me is desperately awaiting retracement on the EUR/USD (and for that matter GBP/USD)? All the Euro nay-sayers are eating their hats at the moment as this thing just continues to show resilience. I am hoping, however that we are nearing short or long-term resistence and it's going to drop like a stone!!! 😀

I've experienced the 600 pip stop loss with the recent JPY swings. As I turned the EA off over Xmas on all pairs but the two majors, I had a couple of trades go to the max and automatically stop out. Bad result on the loss, but a good result to see that it went no further, so the automatic SL safeguard does work from experience.I have also closed trades out manually when I was at an uncomfortable level - but I have to concur with what fughe said that the best way to treat this EA is to leave it to do it's thing. If you can keep an eye on it, and add additional funds when the level of D...

Hey tradingshedThat's the exact same problem I had, for some reason the password failed to work after the update. The only resolution is to wait until support is available to get it changed/refreshed. After this everything was fine and v1.89 works fine.You should be ok, as you won't see major liquidity until around the start of the London session, and I would think you would be able to get hold of support by then. I know that's not very comforting, and the real killer is the wait.Support responded quickly for me, and rectified the problem within an hour or two, although I chose to ...

Hi ChrissavI had a similar problem this morning. What I did was locate the TomsEA.ex4 and TomsEA.dll (in TomsEA folder in c:\Program Files (x86)) and copy them to the EA folder on each MT4 instance you are upgrading (.ex4 to experts folder and dll to experts/libraries folder). Obviously make sure your MT4 instances are not running.Restart MT4 and you should see the TomsEA Updater window appear, then the EA change from 1.88 to 1.89.Good Luck.

Just had a call from Daniel at FTD. He looked into the problem, somehow my password got corrupted. He changed it and now the EA is running again.A huge thank you to Daniel for calling me at 9PM EST (USA time) to fix my problem. That's what I call great customer service.

Can't say I've noticed this previously, but I'll take a closer look after they fix my authentication issues. I'm running the Mirror Trader as well as MT4 instances, and haven't really had too many problems up until now.The updater is very messy though, that's for sure. I made sure all instances were stopped before starting. It's a shame they don't invest in a 24 hour staffed helpdesk...I am nervous as hell that open trades will go south without the EA countering as it is not authenticated.

Tom'sEa WPFX LIVE v Obchodné systémy Jan 12, 2012 at 01:10

Thanks for the pointer littlemax, I followed your advice and got 1.89 updated, but it is still rejecting my email and password and not authenticating. And support is dead until 11PM Australian time...

Tom'sEa WPFX LIVE v Obchodné systémy Jan 11, 2012 at 23:24

New version has been released - I installed it and it won't verify my password, so I now have MT4's running open trades with no EA. Another great piece of work GP.😡

After running the EA live for six weeks on all pairs at 2+2+1+1+1+1 I have subsequently dropped all pairs but GU and EU and running both at 3.Will see how this rolls over the next two months, like others I got burned by the JPY, not enough to kill the EA, but it did hurt profitability (for the first time since starting).

Unfortunately the EUR/JPY pair has absolutely shredded the profitability of this EA for me personally. As I was advised to delete all pairs except for EUR/USD and GBP/USD over Xmas, I had 4 EUR/JPY trades open, which have spiralled out of control. Two of these trades hit their 600 pip limit and closed for -$160.19 and -$155.92 losses respectively.I am letting the other two run at present, they are currently at -407 and -507 pips for a current DD of $794 and $462 respectively. Looking at the strategies this pair has absolutely tanked and done some severe damage to the EA's profitability ove...
