Indeed. I'm going to try it. I haven't been too impressed with FAPT scalper lately so what the hay...

I arbitrarily set the parameters to match an average of the SLs and TPs I saw on past trades of around 50 for each.

Initial stop is 25 as is the margin, being half of the SL and TP averages. I set the SG magic number to the same as the scalper.

Do you simply append the code at the back or sumtink?

Sorry jefe, I didn't see your post until today. It should be cleared up now. That is what happens if you are publishing two different accounts with the same login name on two different instances of MT4. D'Oh!

I see your using a sl of 600.

I 've had really good luck this past week with an sl of 360. I also noticed yours doubled up hedges on retracement-- just like mine I suspect this week of trading will be similar to last week with NFP on Friday...

And it's good to see that I'm not the only one with conservative settings

The doubling was just blind luck. MT4 re-started because Windows XP dd one of it's world famous freeze-ups and SG opened a second hedge when MT4 came back on line.

What makes me nervous though, is that SG is trading double lots on the hedges. If the trend goes with the original trade, the hedge could turn into a nasty loss. Of course, Xchaparro may have some kind of adjustment written into the code if that happens, I don't understand everything he has written about how it works by any means.

Meanwhile, for this week I have cut everything in half, SL 300, initial stop of 150 and margin of 75.

I'm a bit nervous about the doubling as well. I also noticed in version 4.5, there isn't a place to limit the amount of hedges saferguard opens. Saferguard opened a .2 lot buy hedge right before eur/usd tanked. it's now at -998.00! it then hedged itself with a .4 lots sell at +468.00. So I'm still in the hole a ways. When I turned on the computer today, it immediatley hedged again with a .4 lotst sell! So now its .2 lots buy and .8 lots sell! and we should be due for a retracement.

What to do now? I could close all now for a $400 loss. Or do I wait for whatever comes? And shouldn't there be a way for us to limit the amount of hedges safeguard opens?

Safeguard 4.5 does not have a magic number setting. Is it not needed to monitor trades because I am using safeguard 4.4 with fantastic results on FAPS and have my magic number set to FAPS magic number. Also I forgot set a SL on FAPs but Safeguard initiated a hedge trade at the 300 IS anyway. So my question is do we have to set a SL on the EA we are using? Because it looks like safeguard performed on que without me setting a SL on FAPs. Thanks Xchapparo for the Safeguard

Getting CREAMED on 2 trades on the EURUSD right now... which version of SG should I put on? Looks like users are having issues with 4.5 which makes me nervous.

Yeah... I'm getting creamed too - On my SafeGuard positions
