Alarm of profit
yeah, about that sl, i was going to add a code lock it out of the trade after 1 or two days, me and a friend of mine noticed that when it spends that much time in the negatives, when it makes a profit, it's not really worth it, but with that sl any lower, it messes the whole strategy up. and the loss that showed in the results took a 3 days to occur!
so, i'm kinda pinned that way, i narrowed the sl as far down as i could withought messing up the results, but 267 was as low as i could go.
"back to the past" recap
this next system looks good, but it has a minimum of $3,000, and it doesn't make fast profits untill it reaches $10,000.
what i need is a system that'll get me from $500 to $10,000, preferable with few or no losses, my solution strategy sadly
just have to gameble when the sl will byte u in the ass a few times
this runs on a 38 ema, when the price goes (above/below) the ema for two periods, it (buys/sells), and closes by a trailing stop of fifteen pips.

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+it has a couple of problems
problem 1. metatrader4 has a minimal trailing stop of 15 pips, i'm wondering if there's some code to sneak around that, make it 5 pips.
problem 2. if anyone has a channel indicator i would a appreciate it, although it's not essential.
problem 3. what's with that huge drop at the end???
