It has been discussed at lenghth on this forum about other pairs but is widely accepted that GU performs the best (in the long run) so is advisable to just stick to what has proven to work the best (and that is trading the GU).
Having said that -- various combinations give different results. This is probably better to analyse than analysing different pairs.
FMT for me this morning, (45-35-25-5), Forex.Com-UK
6:15 start, long signal, hit BE +5 pips
6:30 start, long signal, hit BE +5 pips
6:45 start, long signal, hit TP +35 pips
total today +45 pips
weekly total +149 pips
good to see 6:45 make a difference !
cheers !

Hi,
After getting into the trade according to the new rules and after 25 pips plus the EA set SL 5 pips above the entry price. And then came this down candle and I got stopped out 10 pips below the entry price, i.e. I got 5 pips minus instead of having +5. Is it normal?

You have to watch out for market report. at 9.30 there was a red alert for report in UK go to www.forexmarket.com and you get
daily reports coming up. Best to come out 10 mins before the reports. I came out 10 mins before and was 28+ pips up. At 9.30 it had the spike, but result from the report.Hope this helps.

It's not nice, and it's not exactly normal, but it's called slippage, and it's what happens when the market spikes by 50 pips in 5 seconds. There are just so many sell orders and stop losses going through that all the forex systems and the brokers computers struggle for a few seconds to sort out who gets what and at what price.
Some brokers will accept a guaranteed stop loss for an increased spread.
It could happen to you one day that your TP overshoots for the same reason and you get some extra pips. Unfortunately it's one of those things, and indeed is the only thing that makes me want to sit over a trade, otherwise I trust FMT to be right more often than it's wrong and that's usually good enough confidence for me.
Could anyone help with Magic Numbers here ?
I'd like to set different FMT processes (installed in different folders) linked to the same real account.
How to set the magic numbers on these different FMT ?
(I mean just choose different UNIQUE numbers and it is OK ?)
Just 2 other questions:
1) How many digits are significant ? Just 5 or could it be more ?
2) Which digits are available ? from 1 to 5 only or from 0 to 9 ?

40/40 without BE nearly got stopped out by 1 pip at 09.30 upon UK Bank of England news, but then went to full TP a couple hours later
The market can make you feel dizzy with its present behaviour. Between 7 and about 8 am there were many quite long candles on 5m charts, seemingly there was some strong resistance to be broken through there

You keep sending results links, but the page doesn't show any results after the end of March

That's when I started the account. You are looking at the bottom of the page,, current results are always at the top.
I am not.
I shall not trade any of the Bank Holidays.
I want to keep risk/exposure to the minimum.
There is no significant evidence either way, if the more experienced trader's are right, but I have decided thus.
It is each to his/her own policy at the end of the day.
Does Marc trade in the bank holidays?
I believe he does.
That must be it.*
I was confident that the Lot/Max Lots were correct and thought I'd change DP to 2 as it seemed more correct.*
It's the only variable left! So, I'll trade the same tomorrow but put DP back to 2 and all should be well.*
