I experience the Thanksgiving present from GBPUSD.

Live account : -70% margin(trailing stop aint kick in, continue short)
Demo account : survived with mild profit(trailing stop kicked in, change direction to long)
Backtest : closed with profit!!!

I'm now live with 76initial stop. Once in a while will hit stop loss, and its very painful. Therefor, normally after 100% capital gain, I'll transfer my profits back to my main account.

Martingale EAs usually return to profit with a relatively small retraction and that will not apply in this case. In short I wouldn't trust this EA unless mrtools advises us that is the way it has been programmed and all is well.

My recommended EA is found on this thread on page 18 the original 10points3 Dynamic Stop as modified by tururo. I am still testing this version and during the last week has also shown good results. I have been using MM1 and Risk3 so the results have been profitable but also has the risk been high. Settings are:-
TakeProfit=38.00000000
Lots=0.10000000
InitialStop=1.00000000
TrailingStop=28.00000000
MaxTrades=5
Pips=18
SecureProfit=28
AccountProtection=0
OrderstoProtect=0
ReverseCondition=0
EURUSDPipValue=10.00000000
GBPUSDPipValue=10.00000000
USDCHFPipValue=10.00000000
USDJPYPipValue=9.71500000
StartYear=2005
StartMonth=1
EndYear=2007
EndMonth=12
EndHour=22
EndMinute=30
mm=1
risk=3
AccountisNormal=0
Magic=10201

Can't say that I am happy to see the progression to reach 12.8 but it is a demo account starting at $25000. These are the settings currently in use for my competition with David as mentioned previously on this thread.

All in all whatever settings you use there is the constant fear that MaxTrades will be closed down. If the MaxTrades is too small then it will happen too frequently and if too high may break the account.

There are members currently working out changes that may eliminate that problem. mtaboneweb Matt is working on a reverse during the progression, David is looking at a pyramid version, mrtools is always looking to improve the direction of trading.

Lately I have been only trading EURUSD with higher starting price and avoided the highly volatile GBPUSD my TF for both versions is M30.

Good luck for your trading,

John

Personally, i do feel that your previous setting with pips 15 and maxtrade 10 is relatively safer as it covered up to 150 pips range. I even consider to test pips 20 and maxtrade 10 in a mini live account.

Can you please kindly share that had your trades ever close out with maxtrade with pips 15 and maxtrade 10 in the past few months? If never, why did you get rid of that relatively safe setting?

Awaiting for your reply. Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Geoff
