Help with sl/tp pls?

truth is, i just like to argue 'bout dumb sht.

i like to start fires and then watch em burn.

😎

as i have taken a bit of time to reflect over this thread, it is my opinion that i owe a sincere apology to mr finstudio.

his work is fine, tho it was and is my opinion that his code is a bit lengthy.

his trading looks very nice, and i sincerely wish him well.

i sure hope this clears things up for all parties involved.

I noticed you removed a racist, derogatory sentence you had made in this post.

Why so ? Don't you stand by your words ?

Finstudio, Looks like Admin/Mod finally removed more than one of low life zero brains offensive posts after I reported the 3rd or 4th one. 😀

my words were intended to be direct.

when i used the phrase of cow lover, is that racist?

fyi, the cow is one of the most stupd animals on this planet.

i stand by that statement also.

i enjoy studying people and some of their entirely retarded belief systems.

yesterday, i went up to a cafe and ordered myself a cheeseburger and some french fries.

the waiter asked me how i wanted it cooked.

cooked? nah.

just beat it in the head with a pipe wrench till it stops moving and wrap a bun around it.

cooked, omg.

So that puts me at at least two grades above u then 😉

zzzero,

I have had a look at the code and it is solid. I often find on these forums that you will get people sitting on the sidelines throwing stones at people that lift a finger to help others.....yet they do nothing to contribute. I haven't seen a constructive script or EA from you that does the same job any better, so what exactly is your problem with this code??

Finstudio.......nice work!

i just vouched for you.

I read this in someone's avatar ... <i>the nail that sticks out gets hammered</i>.
<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemesis_%28mythology%29'>Nemesis</a> .. the Greek goddess of righteous retribution .. incarnated in Ethan's body ... got the hammer ready ...

Do you know this excellent synthpop song by this marvelous British band, Depeche Mode... it's called A question of time? Directed by Anton Corbinj, a fantastic director of many U2 clips too.

and the flipside of that is that the nail that does not have it's head sticking out already got hammered.

i have such a passion to complete this project that i just dont care any more.

hammer me, whatever.

actually, the code is very nice.

except for one issue..

the stoploss and takeprofit is able to be set at a fixed amount of pips.

the original poster mentioned that it is a pain to set stops and profits for multiple pairs.

ok, lets take an extreme example...

the code was delivered/presented to set a twenty pip takeprofiit and stoploss.

ok, fine.

twenty pips on the eurusd? ok, sounds kinda cool.

but lets say that you open up a gold trade, twenty pips aint nuthin but a hiccup.

if i were to have responded to spotfx and suggested to him that i'd like to help him to resolve his little issue...

the first thing that i might have done would have been to help him to fully define that which his problem is.

a fixed pip value for multiple pairs is not a complete solution.

not in my opinion, anyways.

think money management.

takeprofits and stoplosses should be set so that your trade will gain or lose a fixed percentage of your account and not a fixed amount of pips.

but then we get into the issue of how do we select how many lots to trade.

if you are trading a 1k account, maybe you want to put on a 0.01 or 0.02 or 0.03 lot trade.

but what if you are trading a million dollar account? if you open a 0.01 lot trade on the eurusd and your takeprofit and stoploss get set at a half percent of your balance, those trades are going to run for a while.

i felt that the code was lengthy yet it was premature in the sense that it really was not a proper solution.

i must admit, tho, that mr finstudio's trading charts do look much better than do mine, atm.

good evening.

Thank you for your lengthy PhD dissertation on the concepts of stop-losses and take-profits. It is nice to see that these concepts are thoroughly utilized in your trading system thus producing a brilliantly magnificent trading methodology.

Now, would you like me to vouch for you for writing this crap ? 😀

Oh! Thanksowskies. Good that this site does NOT allow taking vouches back 😉

EXACTLY what I asked for!

The problem was user defined in the request!

I don't recall asking for your (or anyone's) opinion!

think money management.
 
takeprofits and stoplosses should be set so that your trade will gain or lose a fixed percentage of your account and not a fixed amount of pips.

Again, in YOUR opinion..which no-one asked for. But I can see how your excellent MM prevented multiple account blow ups for you (NOT!)

For your info, the idea of 20/20 was to get fast stops and tp's set asap. (safety net). Once set, then each trade may or may not be adjusted up or down according to s/r price action.

i felt that the code was lengthy yet it was premature in the sense that it really was not a proper solution.

It was the solution requested by me.
Bad as your trading is zzzero, pls don't ever go into Sales ...u would be absolutely hopeless at giving the customer WHAT THEY WANT!

i must admit, tho, that mr finstudio's trading charts do look much better than do mine, atm.

At last we agree on something
