After today's break even, I also changed my TP to 37, though I see that Mark's journal calls today's 2-pip miss "bad luck."
I'm still not clear if it's the market or, in my case, the 2.5-pip spread that makes the difference in these whisker misses. I'd like the TP to be triggered by the offer.

Hi mate id rather have 37 in the bag,i dont use EA i set and forget,so i lose 40 rather than break even,we cant have every thing in life,but what i have noticed is my broker all of a sudden since FMT my spreads vary,so ill take a little no probs
I do not trade manually. Once you place the EA on your chart, right click on the chart and select Expert Advisors/Properties. You can change the settings in the input tab.
Good Luck!
If you want a trail stop use this free EA on a separate chart. I can't upload set files for it so try on demo. You must put 200 for 20 pips SL on 5 digit brokers and 20 SL for 4 digit brokers.
The zip file has instructions but there are a lot of settings you won't use for the FMT. I recommend using symbol specific true. It also has a place for magic number if you have something else going on with the pair.I also set selective scan true, immediate activation true, under the heading order types standard--allow all types false, buy and sell active true--otherwise on ECN brokers it tries to set TP & SL on pending orders if you allow all types. Under stop management you can use the break even or the FMT break even, stop loss to your liking just remember use a 200 for 20 on 5 digit and 20 for 4 digit brokers. Only trail profits true!! otherwise it will behave like the FMT trail stop
It is a really robust and useful tool. Too bad you can't back test two robots together. Maybe Mark can put the trail stop code from this into FMT?😀
P.S. remember to set MagicNum_Specific true and put 12345 in magic number if you want to use that function
Below the instructions should read this way on selective scan (note change in red)
extern bool SelectiveScan=false; // If false, when calculating statistics for the conditions, order types that the EA is not
// allowed to manage are also considered
// If true, only allowed order types are considered when calculating statistics for the conditions
// NOTE: Order Type selection can be found below

Hi Blue its Mario,when you run these back test do you do manually or run a system backtest for these results,if you run a system backtest can you do me a favour and run one for 15mins earlier to take trade at 6.15am,please id like to know the differance,thanks
Look guys, backtests only give an indication and should not to be taken as fact.
They don't take in account fluctuating spreads and the data at the very best is max 90% accurate.
Demo trading is somewhat better, but those who have been around for awhile also know that it varies with live trading.
As FMT trades only once a day spend a couple of hours, draw a rectangle with target plus max spread and manually go back over the chart.
You not only see the action, but also what setups to avoid.
If you want to check several entry times at the same time use some thing like the indicator attached
Remember guys that the forex market makes rules, sets the trends and daily decides what it is going feed us! 👍
A complementary EA that trades during GMT 21-6 is "Cable Run" by profitablfx. I have both EAs running every night (US eastern time). Cable Run is a counter trend system. Great for choppy market before UK open. Check out the performance of Cable Run in forexpeacearmy.

Plus the weekly pivot 1.5442 and knowing the pound if she is going to drop to the downside proberbly fake breakout and then sink like Sh*t
just took a look -- that is 30 mins after our entry right?
it seems they expected improvement, so maybe bullish?
Who knows, maybe my Brittish mates might care to share 😎
