I haven't even looked at the other version. (Sorry, guys.) So, I don't know for sure what it is that they did in their version.

Thanks to don_forex for sharing this EA and Neo who help to improve this EA.
I make a forward test in V9-1 with standard setting

Lot Increase = true
Buy = true
Sell = true
0.1=1, 0.01=2
smallest lot size =1.0
max lot size =5.0
Lot size =0.1
lot increment =0.1
multiplier =0
Profit target =5.0
Trend profit target =5.0
Safety level percentage = 400.0
Safetyprofittargetpercent =25.0
open on stick =1
spacing =10
trend spacing = 10
counter trend multiplier=2
close delay = 91
orders to close =0
minimum order to close losing =1
trendperiod = 1200
cease trading = false
right side lebel = true

the above setting is
lot size = 0.1
lot increment =0.1
should it be open position with 0.1 lot and open another position with 0.2 (0.1 increase)

but it open with 0.2 lot and another with 0.3 lot
do I missed something here?

Wow all those floating p/l is kinda scary but still up overall. which is the latest programming of that EA are you using?

I'm using Don's latest. I tried the Neo 50 pip stoploss version but was down about $3k. Changed Multiplier from 0 to 2 yesterday. DD was pretty big but is back down now. Up $1,200 right now...

Have you noticed if it works better on some pairs and not others?

Hi. I've been playing with this for a day or two and it does seem to have potential. Unfortunately, it does seem to blow your account eventually.

What I have noticed though is that the account balance continues to grow even when drawdown is significant. Doesn't this indicate that the 'don't close profitable trades when large d/d present' isn't working? I would have thought that closing losing trades is more important than increasing equity...

Anyway, I like what you have achieved her e and am going to have a go at coding the idea myself. I'll post my results as they become available.

I'm using all that's available at demo IBFX. So far it does not seem to matter as long as there is price movement.

It is still a toss-up as to which works better, low spread or high volatility. I am leaning more towards the volatility I think.
