I tested DLMv1.3 and it worked profitably but it's main difference from 10points3 apart from the Dynamic Stop was that it was to turn off during news and a csv file was required to tell it when to stop.

The csv file on the site was empty and no further updates were available so it seemed to me that a subscription to the site was needed to test DLM fully. Also only the ex file was available so that was a restriction too.

I ran the dual testing for a few weeks and the results were profitable but in the end stopped the test in favour of the Terminator which with my original setting was not very good. I am pleased to say that my later testing of Terminator with your settings is proving to be a better proposition.

I posted 13 detailed statements with my results using DLM in early October.

Thanks for the post yeoeleven

A view of the Terminator screen just after the EURUSD closed a successful trade. The Pivot line, Support & Resistance lines make for a colorful display.

I left Terminator running over the weekend, the choice was to take a $399.60 loss. You could say that I have been hopefully waiting for this for a few days.

Will report on Terminator and 10points 3 Dynamic Stop as the week progresses.

I am running 10 points now and I had a fresh idea. You currently have this set up to buy in 15 point increments. And it closes all after 5 trades or 75 pips. This could be made to be more successful if you would consider the average move of the currency pair you are working with. IE on average the gpd/usd moves 140 pips a day, usd/cad moves 120, eur/usd moves 100. Now if you take this total and divide by 4, then use that # as your increment move. Ex. euro moves 100 points per day on average. 100/4 = 25 instead of the current 15. The 5th trade or to 125 points would carry you to the outside of the trading range and allow you a better chance of recovering before getting stopped out. IE you would be able to trade the range of a normal move without doubling up so often and still be in the trade. The only other calculation necessary is the take profit level would need to be adjusted as well..for whats it worth

looks nice idea.

Now that is a good idea, thanks Terry for your observations.

Now in order to implement it where can we find the daily average movements? I will certainly adopt this suggestion even though my main testing of this EA has been reduced to testing EURUSD because of the volatility of the other pairs. With this idea each pair will have it's own pipstep and hopefully the volatility issue may be reduced.

There are a couple of other issues to consider, with the higher pipstep may come the need for a larger account and maybe the MaxTrade number could be reconsidered. I have been using MaxTrades6 for over a month now and only once lost a trade. (Last week USDCHF) whereas on my second account MaxTrades5 was reached several times in the same period.

Do you have any suggestions regarding the setting of Take profit?

John

Here is my sad results this morning for the EUR/USD and USD/CHF which both lost after the 6th positions. Any thoughts?

i see you have active InitialStop, This EA is fighting until death but you stop it with InitialStop before the EA lossing his blood...If you use this EA, you have to give all resource you have,..so fight it to the last blood

Here are my settings. Thay are typical of what I believe most people on here are running...

extern double TakeProfit = 25;
extern double Lots = 0.05;
extern double InitialStop = 1;
extern double TrailingStop = 15;

extern int MaxTrades=6;
extern int Pips=15;
extern int SecureProfit=10;
extern int AccountProtection=1;
extern int OrderstoProtect=3;
extern int ReverseCondition=0;
extern double EURUSDPipValue=1;
extern double GBPUSDPipValue=1;
extern double USDCHFPipValue=1;
extern double USDJPYPipValue=0.9715;
extern int StartYear=2005;
extern int StartMonth=1;
extern int EndYear=2006;
extern int EndMonth=12;
extern int EndHour=22;
extern int EndMinute=25;
extern int mm=0;
extern int risk=30;
extern int AccountisNormal=0;
extern int Magic = 10201;

Default is like this:

extern double TakeProfit = 40;
extern double Lots = 0.01;
extern double InitialStop = 0;
extern double TrailingStop = 20;

extern int MaxTrades=10;
extern int Pips=15;
extern int SecureProfit=10;
extern int AccountProtection=1;
extern int OrderstoProtect=3;
extern int ReverseCondition=0;
extern double EURUSDPipValue=1;
extern double GBPUSDPipValue=1;
extern double USDCHFPipValue=1;
extern double USDJPYPipValue=0.9715;
extern int StartYear=2005;
extern int StartMonth=1;
extern int EndYear=2006;
extern int EndMonth=12;
extern int EndHour=22;
extern int EndMinute=25;
extern int mm=0;
extern int risk=30;
extern int AccountisNormal=0;
extern int Magic = 10201;[/quote]
