    Hi Paul,

    In my experience (I work a lot on MAE and MFE), as you can see on the french forum, I didn’t find something interestring, but I could be wrong

    Ok, let’s try with trailing/BE and not as promise

    Well it’s on the run,

    I use a simple crossing average strategy

    f is the number of step before closing the trade

    f=1 then R/R=1

    f>1 then we have a trailing stop and on the first step=BE R/R>1

    c= the step in pip (EUR/USD 1 mn 100 000 units 3000 comb).

    Of course no partial exist = only ONE exit

    Done !

    It confirms what I said previsously

    See the pictures

    As you see : The total gain is quite the same between f=1=No BE or f>1 with Trailing stop and BE

    When f=1 the % of winning trade is higher compare when f>1

    But when f=1 the average gain is less important = you win more / trade when f>1 (but remember we have less winning trades)

    In conclusion, as I said before and to reduce my stress notably…I use generally f=1 with No Trailing Stop and No Breakeven who seems to be unuseful

    This is MY experience and MY tests, may be you can do yours to compare

    Have a nice day

    Zilliq

    One another important thing @paul

    The more f is high, less transaction you have, and for a better optimization we need a lot of transactions (The more is better)

    One other reason for f=R/R=1

    Bye

    hi zilliq

    if you have 1% stoploss & 1% profittarget and being long, there’s no action on the same signals for long in that 2% range, which could be very poor.

    it’s likely more curvefitted and less robust, but depends how the code is written.

    With my little project I’ve made progress & is compleet, but it’s not good enough to use it.

    I like the idea to use support & resistance in a strategy so that it being more dynamic with smaller losses & faster profits & reversals on tops or bottoms optional.

    Have not used breakeven in my codes but a percentage trailingstop I do use atm.

    Take care

    Paul
