what I would suggest is that you add more intelligence to the expert for example
now the expert open a trade whenever it close a trade which is fine and is good for a trend following idea, but why not accept a loss of lets say 200 pips and when a loss happens , this means there is a trend change so you switch from only buy to only sell.
meaning you remember the last trade and if that trade is a winning trade you keep trading on the same direction , if it was a losing trade you swicth
Hi, I'm away at the moment so don't have access to my files, but I have made some more modifications and will post soon. I hope that Azmel can check this out for me. I have found that if you open much smaller lot sizes but more trades, so sticking to 0.1 * 10 over 10 or more days, then this has the effect of reducing the drawdown significantly from 70% to 28% but with the same profits. Now my idea would be to detect when the first small lot looses and then buy a sell instantly to hedge some of the loss that will occur. This is a bit more complex, but I am sure this is a true winner.
