91222 Hi staff,
I have been testing this EA for a couple of weeks. Currently running it live and compiling a list of news events it seems to respond best to (although not taking into account the real content of what is presented during these occasions ). I suppose the hardest part is dealing with slippage and spread, simply. I have stopped using the breakeven feature because it seems to take me out despite price not moving the necessary distance (is that the BE tuned to permit for the entry price affected by slippage?)
I believe it's relatively safe to test live nonetheless, since the stops are tight and do little harm and the profits could ride.
Can somebody maybe offer you a proposal as to what occurred here, and how I could adjust settings to avoid it happening in the future? Last night's core earnings, EURUSD and USDCAD gave a gorgeous trip to whatever TP you chance to select (EU chart shown below) but EURCAD lost its head, starting a buy which hit the 100 point SL (fair enough) and then a sell which also somehow hit the SL, despite OCO being turned on. (trade also shown below) Did it happen too quickly to remove the pending sell? It looked like such a good opportunity for a transaction, I am wondering how to adjust settings to make sure we put in on those later on.
(sorry, could not post the established file for some reason...)
