This is the first time this has happened to me. Am on live account. On EUR/USD chart I changed a couple of settings, MA from 100 to 75, ClsLsrOnMrktChange (changed to 1), Prudent to 1, and SymAlligatorOnCritica to 0 and this happened. Sooner, you will be pleased to know I nabbed the info straight away.

2008.12.17 13:11:28 FAPTURBO16 EURUSD.,M1: open #2122131 buy 0.03 EURUSD. at 1.40620 ok
2008.12.17 13:03:11 FAPTURBO16 EURUSD.,M1: close #2121931 sell 0.03 EURUSD. at 1.40444 sl: 1.41469 tp: 1.40344 at price 1.40602
2008.12.17 13:03:10 FAPTURBO16 EURUSD.,M1: Closing! (MASmall going up.)2008.12.17 13:03:06 FAPTURBO16 EURUSD.,M1: modify #2122085 buy 0.03 EURUSD. at 1.40596 sl: 1.39563 tp: 1.40696 ok

Closed out -$8.20 instead of running a loss of 100 pips. Now, if it did that consistantly, it would be THE HOLY GRAIL! I noticed a dotted line on my chart joining a buy and sell FAPT arrow. Anyone else had this???

I get it all the time on the scalper, haven't paid much attention to the long term but I do have it running with a very small lot size and it has been producing quite a few wins lately with plain old default settings and a TP of 20.

Thank you for the journal entry, I have not noticed that but I had a feeling that was the general idea of that setting.

Well, got it again today. Must say what ever makes it tick, it does NOT show up all the time. WHEN it shows, oh hail mother of Mary, it is a Godsend to stop big losses! Would you know "dear brainy Sooner" or some other "brainbox" WHY it is not on the charts all the time? I have never had it on the scalper charts. I'm still on v.16 by the way.

You are referring to the dotted line connecting your entry and exit points right? And I am not brainy, I just enjoy figuring out how things work
