I came across the same issue, just change it to BEP.

DislikedHello Mr SteveH
I am glad to write my very first post to this thread
This last MACD Combo multi pair seems to have a problem; it does not run and when compiling it, there comes this message
'BEO' - variable not defined
Or do I have the problem instead?!Ignored
DislikedTalking of going live and my inexperience with EA's added to the fear of wipeout, is it possible to stop an EA trading based on the size of your balance i.e say 50% or whatever just as a safeguard for when your not monitoring.Ignored
DislikedIn the meantime, you can avoid wipeout by keeping those lot sizes low, low, low. Think of a minimum lot size then halve it. Then halve it again. Then set it at your crims minimum lot size (*2 if the robot likes to close half the trade at x profit).
Then monitor the position obsessively. This is what I do and I code these robots. Only an idiot leaves them completely unattended for more than a couple of hours. I get twitchy after about 4 hours, but I coded the robots and know what harm they are capable of wreaking.

DislikedJust checked back to my trades after working out the last post and found that 3 of the pairs I dropped i.e GBPJPY, AUDJPY and USDCHF have opened trades.
- I deleted the ones I wanted to drop in the Experts properties inputs. Is this correct ? and if so can anyone tell me why the trades were opened ?
ThanksIgnored
It is probably wise to do this anyway, whenever you change the settings of a robot. As a rule, try to avoid doing this during a trading session; results can be unpredictable. Try to do it at the start of the week, or during the 'dead' period.

DislikedI do not understand the rationale for having settings for Asian/London session AND for trade times morning/evening.
The previous version of this bot only had the setting for the session times....Ignored
DislikedGood Morning Steve,
I'm back up and running!!!! Full WiFi.....My son, grandson and I tested everything last night and that new router is smart as can be. 6 pieces of equipment at the same time. This should stop storm damage.
I've loaded 4 copies of mt4 on the new demo tower and I'll wait for any last min updates and load the bots this evening. That should be pretty simple with you being as diligent as you are about maintaining Post 1.
Looking forward to a tick......

DislikedGlad you are back up and running. You must have nearly gone nuts whilst out of commission.
Only update is the Asain Breakout that octomanoak pointed out had a fault - the latest is now in post 1.
I have coded a new robot - a scalper to trade as BS describes on his website. I shall put this up once I feel it is relatively bug-free.
Hope your toes are not getting too tired from hanging on to the planet upside down.

DislikedDropped a clanger last night. I opened up my 4 demo platforms and set them up, but forgot to disable the EA's as I'd planned after last weeks start to avoid gapping in the market !!Ignored
