Why to turn it off? Does it affect on profitability?

Any reason you switched to IC Markets from IBFX.au as per demo account? I have an IBFX.au account and would prefer not to change broker unless it was extremely compelling to do so...

No, we don't want The EA to bounce between the main trade and hedge trade. if we don't see a major uncertainty we would not turn it on.

yes, I do think ECN broker is better but the difference would be minimal.

Xcalper,
I thought this was a scalper. It is definitely not.
Looking at your live account you have two orders that are opposite of each other a sell 1 Lot and a Buy 2 lots that have been going since Jan 29 and Jan 30 respectively.
Big drawdown in play!
It is good that I waited a bit to see this. Caveat Emptor !!!

It is a scalper. Please read the info on 'Hedge Protection' and you will know how it works.
Please let me know if you have questions.

1.) What are the time frames for the charts that your EA is attached to (Website seems to indicate that it doesn't matter). Does the 1-minute chart get more trades then the 1-week chart?
2.) What specific setting in this EA turns on/off money management?

The hedging technique is clear from the trades dated January 29th and 30th.
This time it had worked out nicely, but what happens if the market decides to linger around the price level of the hedging position, stopping out and reentering it (with 3 pips SL in this case) on numerous occasions, again and again...??
Well, I know the answer from first hand, as I created such a 'Hedging EA' (to compliment a Martingale EA to prevent its inevitable demise). It did work well for a while, but at one point the market started to go sideways for a prolong period of time hitting the hedging EA's entry and SL levels numerous times, eventually chewing up the account in small pieces like a piranha (as opposed to 'Martingale strategies' which blow up your account at once).

The hedging technique is for death of spalping strategy. Consistently high DD!!! Use classic TP and SL.

Based on the trade analysis, the account balance DD was probably much less than 90%, as the BUY hedging position stepped in action to counteract the open loss of the SELL position.
Nevertheless, as Jarora stated it correctly: 'The hedging technique is for death of scalping strategy.' confirming what I had mentioned previously.

that number is not correct. Myfxbook is showing the amount for the worst trade. but that trade has been open along with a hedge trade which you can see that trade right after the 90% trade. so the drawdown of the account has not been more than 30%.
Please let me know if you need more clarification.

hedging is not the death of scalping. it saves the day when things go wrong, and of course in trading things can go wrong alot. so thats when hedging trade jumps in trying to save the day. Also it doesnt happen too often. may be once or twice a month.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
