Diesel 10 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 A question about this Swiss Army. I want to trail a stop 3 pips back once the position is 3 pips in profit. The spread for GBPUSD on my account is 2 pips so wouldn't the stop almost for sure be immediately triggered??? Anyone who has used Swiss Army EA, I would appreciate it if you could give me some insight here... Also, can anyone recommend a good US broker who has 1 pip spread on GBPUSD? Thanks.

pcguy007 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hi Diesel, I have used many trade mgr. ea's and none seem to do what you need. Steve Hopwood may be able to modify his trade mgr ea that is on hxxp://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=89371&page=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitescape Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) Diesel, It sounds like you might be looking for "2% a day" or something similar in your trading strategy. :) Swiss Army Knife is no longer supported by the developer and version 1.5x is not 3 - 5 digit aware and it didn't adjust for spread. Here is a modified version of that is 3 - 5 digit aware and I also put in the defaults for what you are looking for. Please test this on demo until you are satisfied that it does what you want. If not send me a note and I may be able to fix it. The defaults are set to start trailing SL by 3 pips once you are in a 3 pip profit. It automatically adjusts the exit price based on the current spread. This probably won't work on any broker with a fixed spread as they usually prevent you from placing a SL or TP within 5 pips of the current price. With ECN type brokers there generally is no limit on setting TP or SL. The other option would be to create a trade manager that hid the TP and SL from the broker... http://www.4shared.com/file/M7I-1mDh/Swiss_Army_EA_v201.html Good Luck.

Would it be possible to further modify Swiss Army V201 to add a user defined multiplication factor for the hedge trade? I.E. 200 is 200% of original trade size. Also, an ability to close the hedged pair at b/e + pips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
