I added some small modofocations to the indicator such as increasing the lot size when the account balance goes up and also optimised for EUR/USD and the results are amazing.

Basically for EUR/USD the best combination seems to be 80 take profit and 1000 stop loss with a high of the last 65 periods (although the high periods didn't make that much of a difference). It took a $10,000 account to around $100,000 but the drawdown is huge. I have some other ideas to improve but want to understand why the drawdowns first. Also I guess you could trade in both directions too with a lowest low and maybe some kind of hedge to reduce the risk.... just some thoughts....
