ok here is the deal...you cannot use a WFM of 2/50%...do you know why?...see attached screenshot...by the time the trades get closed (there were over 100) a tick can occur and 2 bucks is not enough and you can end up with a losss like I did.

You need 0.05 lotsize/increment & "20 bucks/50%" WFM per 1K for guppy. (keep in mind I tested this during the choppiest time)

Maybe one could cap that close price difference by pairing up the trades and use OrderCloseBy; that'd be some serious coding, though....

Wolfey,

In your next release of PipIdiot™ change the default for maxtrades to 9999 or you will get a lot of posts here about what is wrong!

Just a suggestion..as PipIdiot™ is a real iidiot when it comes to # of trades.

Get aboard the ES wagon!

P.S. I find that Ralph is extremely helpful to up-and-coming coders...why not ask him privatly about his post? I want you fellah's to be friends

☺
