Re: break even

I think you will have to post a pic or else your strategy so that the problem can be known to the developer.

Re: break even

Author's Description
This strategy is for demonstrational purposes only and real-time trading is not advised.

The SMA Crossover strategy trades long and short based upon 2 simple moving averages crossing each other. When the fast SMA moves above the slow SMA the strategy buys. When the fast SMA moves below the slow SMA it sells.

The strategy is only in the market based upon one signal at a bar. The actual trade happens at the beginning of the bar following the crossover.

The strategy uses Stop Loss and Take Profit and it is in the market part of the time until SL or TP are triggered. The Stop Loss and the Take Profit are initially set to 1000 pips deviation but you may adjust them freely. If your broker quotes 5 digits for EURUSD or 3 digits for USDJPY, you have to add one 0 to the SL and TP making them 1000 pips.
