@EVERYONE
WAIT FOR VERSION 18.
I discovered a but in the MT4 version of the EA in that it does not calculate the SELL trades correctly.

The logs ..... ooooo ... the logs
I went log crazy
There is a lot of information.
The stuff about the Illuminati, Bermuda triangle and JFK assassination you can ignore.
Look at the "*** OPEN" and "*** CLOSE" lines.
They contain what the 3 prices were before the tickets were opened and then after.
Then it also contains the amount the price slipped "SLIP" after the trades were opened.
I can see that GBPJPY slipped by 1.6 pips, GBPUSD by 1 pip and USDJPY did not slip, which is not to bad.
You can also look at the actual opening of trades.
Look at the first log line before the first trade opened and its timestamp.
Then look at time of the last trade and you will see how long it took to open the 3 trades.
In your case it took about 100ms to open a trade so 325ms to open all 3, which is not to bad from what I have seen, but compared to FIX API it is bad.
I am still looking for a way to improve on the open and close time delays.
One way is to communicate with the trade server every 25 seconds to prevent the connection from timing out so that there is no login delay before trades, but I do not think brokers will like 2880 signal per day that is not actually open or close trade signals, but other than that or the FIX api I am not sure how to speed it up ... YET.
Suggestions are welcome.
According to me the time to open/close a ticket should not be longer than 2 times your connection speed to the server.
I have developed a multi threaded version of the EA, but it runs even worse, because each thread then need to sign on seeing that they run in seperate metatrader instances, where a single thread only signs on once.

Nooo...
Why did you restart it
Yes you missed it because of the 100 minute start delay.
Too bad.
Next time
You might want to look for a broker with a better spread and commission also.
The distance between the top white channel and bottom red channel is a bit big.
It will work, but only once in a while like mine

Looking at the logs I still see a problem in that the trades contains the same amount of lots.
Is this version 17 of the EA ?
That is wrong.
I will look into it a bit.
Found the bug.
Will be fixed in version 18
