I purchased the pro with premium settings - read David's ideas on settings for different strategies and how to adjust them to differing marketing conditions. After the bot made quite a few losing trades and only one positive one I started adjusting the settings. I have been testing it on several times frames using varying bullish bearish combinations on eur/USD; ghp/USD; USD/CHF and USD/CAD. I wanted to use it for scalping. Have used .01 lot with varying stop loss; take profit from 50-150 trailing start 20 and trailing step at 30. It doesn't seem to trade till I force the issue and then it hits the stop almost immediately. Have been monitoring the charts trying to figure out why it isn't jumping in on 3 candle up or down turns or when there are engulfing movement. It appears to only want to watch them in contrarian mode make a trade against the direction. I have limited my losses since just using .01 to try and get a feel as to how the bot acts. So far I haven't really learned anything except it's definitely contrarian in nature. Would appreciate and insights or ideas. Right now am just a bit confused. Guess a trailing start of 20 is too much to ask.
