I'm pretty sure I get what you're saying. The EA operates waiting for opposing signals before closing out a profitable trade which by then has returned to even or loss. The brokers use the spread and chart technicals themselves to keep us and our expert advisor programs off balance imo. The EA would have to be developed to take profits at a specific number of pips (between 4 and 10 is what I would expect) regardless the technicals of the chart, and then wait for the next setup to occur before reentering a new position; I think.

SG......I wasn't able to get a result from that TDI w/Alerts indi in the strat tester. I gave up on it for now. I'll definitely try to get one loaded that will work over the weeks to come. If I can just find one that I can monitor manually as a babysitter; taking profits when I see them..... then I'd be happy. It's just getting in at the best time possible with only a couple pips against me at most before the price moves my way....that is what I find the biggest challenge right now. Taking an auto 7 to 10 pips isn't hard for me to do if I can get 10 accurate average trade alerts a day. All I want is 100 pips a day profit. lol
