Hi Hammy. I am also with Pepperstone Aust. but with with standard a/c not the razor.
Whilst I usually get similar results to your self I do have differences which I don't understand:
0615, GU
0645, EU, BUY trade - I had a win
0845, GU, BUY trade - I had a loss
Very very importantly my EA is using the Broker SL & TO rather than Hidden - the Custom Indicator is set the same as Hidden - can you offer any suggestions. Oldie
Hi Hammy: Thanks for your reply - you were dead right - I had allowed the 3 hrs off London time & not GMT. Do you have any thoughts on why the EA is using the Broker SL & TP rather than the Hidden?? Oldie

of course this will all change when UK goes back on standard time and London = GMT., so pay attention to that, remember FMT goes by London time always.
the default broker settings are TP=55, SL=55.
if your 'hidden' settings are higher than 55, then they will NOT work.
if you set 'hidden' settings below 55, then they SHOULD be the ones hit.
if you still have a problem, remove chart and EA, reboot MT4, open a fresh chart, attach FMT again with different magic number and reset your settings and you should be good..
good luck !..
Yes, I agree, well said Hammy However, as it has been voiced before, why has not the developer came on and adjusted the settings? It should not be up to the individuals such as Hammy to figure the new settings( thank God there is) but to constantly upgrade and keep us in the loop to the changing markets, that is what we signed up for?

I trust I was not the only one to receive an email from Mr F on Tuesday asking
"Are you a profitable trader? And if not why?"
They are 2 silly questions coming from someone who sold a system which sadly had a half life of about 3 months!
Those that were most profitable did their own thing soonest........
Hammy is onto a good thing in a way, personally I have done better than recommended settings, but even so it's crazy for someone who promoted a system where the "official" results are going slow to send that email. Oh of course, I remember why. Affiliate marketing. Of course Why didn't I think of that before?
Hi pdr,
on Pepperstone I got NO TRADE, momentum indicator was above 100.80 ..:|
not sure WHY you and some others got a trade..:|
Hi Hammy: I got a b/e trade on GU - UK with a losing trade with the GU-NY with Pepperstone. Interesting why there are differences with the same broker. Oldie
