Hi,
Find attached my test results. Profit factor was 5.1 .... check the settings in the html file.
On standard FMT today some had Long Trades some had No Trades. Did anyone have a long trade on Turbo today?
Also, when it was time for TMT to close half it's position, the EA tried to close the TMT half on the FMT position, and went on to close the entire TMT position at the first TP. The server was busy at the time, so the closing of 1/2 of the TMT position on the FMT failed. I guess "all's well, that ends well", but it's got me worried.
New feature wanted. The ability to enter pending trades, with all the other Turbo features, instead of only market orders. I would like to be able set the entries at X pips +or- the ideal price.
I've already nagged Mark about this. I hope anyone else who can see the advantage of buying pullbacks will join me in requesting this much needed feature from Mark.
Hi I totally agree. Have you only be thinking about buy and sell stop orders or also buy and sell limit orders?

I was only thinking about buy and sell limit orders, which I use on days with weak signals or high volatility days. Not sure how stop orders would help, because I like to enter on pullbacks. With a stop entry, I would be entering orders at a higher, not lower cost.
The value of pullbacks to me is that it changes my risk reward from 40SL to 35 TP to 30-40 SL-45 to 35-45 TP, depending on my fear-greed ratio. Unfortunately, when I enter pullbacks manually, emotions creep in. A pending order feature would allow us to back test and develop a mechanical method.
A stop entry feature might have helped us catch cable's reversal yesterday afternoon.
So please ask Mark to give us a way to enter pending orders, with the same BE and SL properties as the market order feature.
I was always wondering why so few retail traders are successful.
Here is the answer:
Look at the backtest with optimized settings, using version 1.2 and complete history data.
Why would anybody go and fix or add anything? This is as great as it can get!
Just let it trade and keep the clumsy fingers away.

Had a trade open this morning 30 minutes earlier, but broke even.
Backtesting showed 93.75% profit from Oct. 31 - today using my settings, $306 - $1/lot, with a time range of 06:00 - 06:30, 30 minutes earlier than default. 40SL, 20BE/0,0,0, 35 TP, 50%, Exit 1, ATR True.
Changing the settings of Break Even add Pips2 from "0" to "2" or Break even level 2 from "0" to "35" didn't make any difference.
