From the way you are describing the trade, it sounds like you are "Hedging" which is taking a Long (buy) and Short (sell) positions at the same time. One thing to note is "Hedging" isn't legal in the U.S. and U.S. brokers will not fill hedged orders. If you are lucky to live in another...

Looking at the images you provided I notice several things. First your lot sizes: for the first three orders you used a lot size of 1 full Lot. And, I notice your profits were only $16 and $20. If you have one full lot size position then each pip = $1. Therefore, your first order went up 1.6...

I humbly disagree. If you set your Consecutive Bullish and Bearish signals to a lower number like 1, 2, or 3, you will get what is called a "false signal". Your bot will buy to early and you will have to sit through a LOT of drawdown. Just my opinion.

You’ve run into one of the most common problems when trying to replicate someone else’s Galileo results in MT5. There are three main reasons why your backtests won’t match up exactly: Broker feed differences – every broker’s price data and spreads are slightly different, which changes when...

BeGood, I think when Sanchay says he adjusts settings weekly, what he’s really doing is aligning with the weekly trend. For example, if the market shifts from consolidation to a bullish run, he’d tweak his settings so the bot is working with the trend rather than against it. As for which...

The Magic Number for Galileo is 20200311. Once you have Galileo on a chart, double click the graduation hat. This will open your Galileo settings. And, the first setting is the Magic Number. You can change it if you want. But, like you said, the magic number is no more than a bot identifier...

Hi Crypto Colette. Saw your post and thought I would bring to your attention that the GBP/CHF has a pretty high "spread". It looks like the spread for this pair is over 40. And, I don't like to trade anything with a spread over 22 if I can help it. The spread is important because you don't...

Lot sizes can be tricky. It isn't really as clear as I have a $5000 account. What should my lot size be. When choosing the right lot size, things like "How many charts do you plan to have your bot on?" Personally, use four different currency pairs, so the bot is on four different charts. If I...
