Straddle_trail
This EA worked very well on the GDP deflator at 8.30EST.
Some suggestions re settings would be helpful.
I changed the Distance from price down to 20 and it activated the buy trade and cancelled the sell just before a retrace which almost immediately closed the order. The price continued downwards just far enough to have activated the sell order if it had not been cancelled. Then immediately rose and would have closed the sell order.
My settings were correct for FXDD time zone but would not be correct for SFBX or IBFX

I have taken screen prints to illustrate the continued action and I have to say that the EA worked perfectly but there is some school of thought that suggests that those spikes are carefully manufactured just to trap the straddlers.
