    Hi Chris
    Thanks for that feedback. You are right you should always use a number and positioning of top-ups that will give you the biggest overall stops. That said moving your initial break-even too close to the level one top up could reduce the overall chances of success of the transaction – watch that.

    Hi Alex
    On the 85 pip trend, why did you only use 2 top-ups.
    If 3 are used, you can drop the risk to 4% with 14-14.5 pip break-evens and top-ups at 35%, 49% and 76% giving return on risk of 18.
    Just seeking advice really. Starting to have success following your series of articles and renewed enthusiasm.
    I am also putting initial breakeven just below top-up one level to give best chance of a re-entry at a better price if stop hit on first trade (as is usual for me).
    Keep up the good work. This EA WILL do what it says on the tin.
