Saintmo,

I am curious as to where you got take profit of 120 for tp2? When I load the ea it only gives an option for one take profit amount. The default amount is 50.

$4.3k with 18.28% drawdown with upper 50 and lower 60)

When I further optimized on sl & tp (using the new 50 upper & 60 lower stoch) I achieved $7.3 thousand in profit and 20% dd. (tp1=70,tp2=120,sl=50)

However, I have yet to achieve good modeling quality. But the above shows relative results on a $50,000 account. So the approach still seems a bit iffy, even though optimizing the parameters much improved the results.
