Hello Folks;

I’m checking PipHunting forum few times a day hoping to hear for about performance of the latest PipHunter v.0.3. The latest version supposed to be equipped with break-even feature preventing the trades to fall into DD after it managed to enter into floating profit zone.
A week ago, I noticed that on one of my demos all trades were into floating gain of various levels. This situation lasted for a day or two but later most of the trades dropped down into DD zone indicating that the break-even mechanism didn’t prevent from such event.
Perhaps, we can try to make the break-even feature accessible in the settings with the options of choosing it as hidden or visible on/off modes.
What's more, I am not sure if on my demos the feature for securing significant floating gains that never achieved the TakeProfit levels and started loosing it’s currently gained value.
Both of the above issues could occur due to my satellite Interned connection that besides it’s slow speed is know to have big gaps between In-coming and Out-coming signals

In addition to the above happening, I tried an experiment employing independent TralingStop EA supplied by FreddyFX.
This PipHunter + TralingStop_EA tandem has been running for a week. So far I noticed the account didn’t lose any previously in-profit open trade. TralingStop_EA terminated most of the DD approaching open trades while the account still gained small profit however.
Thus far, it sounds like it is safer to manage open trades in such a manner versus allowing them to oscillate deep into the allowed 100 – 175 pip DD zone.
So far PipHunter never reopened the trade after the previous ones were terminated but the price reverses back to the previously predicted direction. This could be simply because the condition were not any longer satisfactory for reopening the same trade, or the Robot is not trained to do so.
I hope we find a solution the above obstacles.

Regards,
Alex
