Say MA suggests to open Buy, it will also open an Sell at the same time.

At the moment I'm running a lot of Set files on there. Just testing the water with a few new ones that have been posted as well. I'm now using HH, and have dropped CG from the usage as I really don't like how it trades, and more than once it's been stuck in month long baskets...

Changes from my original set file list are shown below..

All set files Lot Sizing has been reset to 0.01 as It's a new broker, new spreads, and no idea how they will work. Previously on GoMarkets acct I had the lots sized based on their DrawDown seen etc.

The new set files that I'm adding haven't been tested by myself. I'm in the process of downloading TickData at the moment, and then plan to backtest all used set files using IBFX spreads. I'm a little worried over the spread sizes of IBFX - they are much larger than what GoMarkets were, and I'm a little worried as to how the AUDNZD sets will perform - anyone else running any of them on a broker with 6-7 pip spread??

Let me know if anyone wants more information and I'll be happy to supply it.
