Well said Grant - nice to see some charts.

Could you clarify what money management you are using at the moment?

EDIT: I think Immy just answered my question in his journal!

Hi Darren,

i'm using the normal EU trade management as detailed in the management doc in post 1...

its only been 2 weeks of DAX so a tweak or 2 may be employed if required...

Morning,

Eagle Eyed Dave spotted an EA i use for trade management form one of the pics i posted.

Snorm (Steve) very kindly coded it for me and has agreed to release the source code ^:)^ ^:)^

I haven't used Darren's EA but i guess it will be very very similar. It is pretty much self explanatory but please test it on a demo account before using on a live account. Also i have never used it with multiple positions so again test it first on demo if you add on to trades...

cheers
Grant

Very generous of Snorm and yourself Grant.

So very appreciative \m/

Please be skeptic about this comment as I haven't tried it, but just by looking the code I assume closing half won't work with EasyOrder plug-in. There's this line of code:
if (CloseHalf && OrderType()==OP_BUY && StringLen(OrderComment()) < 6) // the order comment will reference the ticket number if half closed already

EasyOrder uses strings in the comment fields - "Easy Order[sl]" etc. I guess the quickest way of getting rid of the problem is to modify EasyOrder scripts and start using empty comments when sending orders.

Or everything works right from the bat and I'm just telling stories that are not even true. After all it's a labor day in Finland and all brain functions are forbidden.

Snorm is an old fashioned legend!

Edit: And so are you, Grant. Of course.

Tomi,

I was actually meant to share the compiled version and so must apologise to steve as its his code that i have given away to 9 lucky people. I trust that of those 9 they have the brains to not share it, or they will be getting a visit....

Steve i humbly apologise...

As for the easy order dilemma, the EA was coded exactly how i asked (and paid for) so i really don't care if easy order works or not... )

cheers

No worries G (AC), all is cool. And thanks for the beers mate :-bd

[snorm]

By the way ... I use the EA to trade NFP and it works like a charm. Has never let me down.

Ah, ok (rofl) No worries fellows. Usually I'm lacking brains, but in this kind of situations the brains are in use!
