Swiss Army EA v1.51


Recommended Posts

  • 1 year later...

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.

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...

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.
