Hi Joel,

I have updated SFE PA to version 3.1, but in the setting line p25 (just above Fixed Order Size) still says "Recommended: 0.01 lots / 1.000$ of balance", I think you probably just forgot to change it to "0.01 lot per $500"?

Hi, yes is an error that comment. But I can't change it now. Don't mind because is more conservative, I will post the recommended now also in mql5.
Finally I decided to left 0.01 / 600$, a bit more conservative, because the backtest shows a max. DD until 1080$, but often arrives to this level, then, I will fix this level as about 15% of DD.    1.000 / 6.000 * 100 = 16.6%

0.01 / 6000 is then the recommended.

I think you mean the DD is about $1000 trading 0.1 lot, so it will be good to have a balance of $6000 to keep the DD at about 16%.

0.1 lot per $6000 = 0.01 lot per $600 (you added one zero too many at the end)

I think it’s due to those trades that closed early on Joel’s account and ended up in some losses on my account: https://smartforexexpert.com/index.php?topic=544.msg837#msg837

I am not worried because I believe in the long term these small differences will even out.

And I still believe EU will make a come back with vengeance very soon, and GU with it too. You are right there are a lot of buyers and sellers on EU which makes it difficult to have a clean breakout lately, but I believe when it does, it will be a spectacular one, and a lot of systems who take contrarian trades will likely be wiped out or suffer massive losses (Frero for example)

Let’s what next week will bring us.

SFE EURUSD: (https://www.fxblue.com/users/jimmy8378/stats?magic=800051-860602#week)
-$426.09

This week was a bloodbath!...while GU made a lot of gains this week, there was too much retracement after each spike and the EAs were not able to capitalise on the price actions. SFE Attractor was the biggest loser and lost about $7K.

Big volatility is expected early next week and Joel has made an announcement that he will disable the GBP, EUR, CHF and USD pairs in SFE Night Scalper and SFE Stealth (https://smartforexexpert.com/index.php?topic=545.msg850). This will apply to my account as well.

The other thing is, from next week I am going to increase the lot size on SFE EURUSD to 1.2 Fixed Lot per trade, and the lot sizes on SFE Price Action and SFE Attractor to 0.7 Fixed Lot per trade. The DD on the official SFE EU account is now approaching 30% and it has been losing 9 straight months in a row. This is simply not going to continue forever, and I believe a massive gain on SFE EU is imminent. I am also increasing the risk on SFE PA and SFE ATR by 16% (lot size increase from 0.6 to 0.7) as I also believe they will rebound strongly after the recent losses. I believe a firm, clean, one-way breakout will eventually happen once there is a final Brexit outcome, and that SFE PA, SFE ATR and SFE EU should all make good gains from it. Let's see if things turn out as I planned.

Have a nice weekend!

Thanks Joel for always trying to make the EAs even better.

Big moves on EU and GU today on the news that a deal has been reached for Brexit, but still pending UK parliament approval. Let’s see if the EAs can finally capitalise on the price movements this time...

Hello,
this is my first message in this forum.
I´ve a doubt:
So far, what is the best way to deactivate a currency? I see that tonight there is fundamental in Nzd and I would like to turn off EurNzd.
By the way, thank you very much for the effort you are making to update and innovate with this great EA

Thank you for your participation Cristian.

Just now I added NZD to the list of disabled, and tomorrow I will add the currency again. If anyone don't want to use a symbol in a punctual moment and the symbol is not disabled by the 'server' in yellow, the way is remove it from the list.
I'm working on automatize this at 100 in the near future.

I see 2 limit orders are opened now before the disabling, I'm gonna remove the orders before the event. Sometimes the event can make a good money, but in general is risky. And the impact of the events, also in the near future I will have conclusions, because backtesting in mt5 I can take into consideration the calendar. This takes a good work, so will take some time, but I will do it.

It was a bit late by the time I read your posts. Fortunately the EURNZD trades were actually closed with small gains to my account.

I also had 6 trades by SFE Stealth on my account which is with IC Markets.

It’s interesting that YoG12’s only account with IC Markets actually had only 2 trades and one other account had 9.

I am not sure why there is such a difference, but I think in the long term the difference should become negligible. You just need to make sure you use a good broker with tight spreads.

This week was rather quiet until the last 2 trading days when the GBP jumped on some optimistic news. We ended the week with a small gain and I believe there will be more gains to come as Brexit (whether deal or no deal) finally happens.

I have purchased SFE Stealth and added it to the SFE Combo portfolio. I am running it at 1.50 Fixed Lot per trade which equals to trading 0.01 lot per $300 on a $45000 account (ie. I am assigning 45% of my $100K account to this EA). The risk is probably slightly on the high end (not to mention my account is in AUD which also adds about another 50% risk), but I believe it will work out well. It has already made back about $900 for me out of the $1250 I paid for it!

If any of you are interested in buying it, please do so over the weekend otherwise the price will go back to $1500 on Monday.

This week's announcements:

• SFE Night Scalper has been updated to version 6.0, running at 0.90 Fixed Lot per trade
• SFE Stealth has been added to the SFE Combo account, running at 1.50 Fixed Lot per trade

Have a nice weekend!
