Thought to let you know i have spotted a boo boo in the sloperider EA's. Note not peaky on steroids.
I have noticed that when i had input greater than and less than in order to determine peaky trend direction
i had done it cock eye. example the real peaky trend direction was Long but the data input error was making the EA read it as short.
I have corrected Slope3Peaky3Rider and put v7 in post 1. But in the other slopepeakyrider which is doing well I hesistant to change it as
surprisingly the reverse reading of the trend is slowly but surely raking in pips and the draw down is very low.

Tell me merlin after accidentally coding a blunder that is proving to be working out nicely, do i correct it?

Ah i see.
I would say, do not correct it yet...let it run if its doing good

Post one has been edited with following:
The 4HR Price Action Channel EA proved unsuccessful due to its inability to come out of a draw down. But lessons were learnt from it and other ea be coded get binned and another EA would developed based on errors noticed in the binned EA's.
Now we Slope Peaky Rider with settings of Peaky M30 and HR1 also slope HR1 _7 HR4 _10.
This EA has proved to resilient. Low draw down and raking in pips. The strategy of the idea when coding was that if slope is Up and Peaky is Up then trade. But on Thursday 10 may 2018 While checking for bugs I noticed a coding error on the part of peaky code . Peaky code was reading Peaky Trend opposite to what it should be. Example lets say the true peaky trend is UP the EA , because of the error, the EA was reading it as down. What this means for our strategy is , in a true up peaky trend. we are looking for sell opportunities if slope is DOWN. Basically the EA is trading against the peaky trend and doing well on mistake i made on coding.
What is most important is that we now know what the EA is doing and this way know what is bringing in the green pips .

As to original strategy, I have corrected the coding error and I am testing it in slope3 and peaky3 rider EA.
The PeakyOnSteroid 's EA can be found on stevehopwood' s site. If you are unlucky to have your IP address blocked from steve's site you can search this thread for a copy.

As to the title of this thread and the EA's whose codes I have modified. Well the Price channel is used as a filter to getting a quality trade signal.
The channel simple moving average 4HR 30 period high and low.

I have added slope reverse EA. Try to have an input like D1 slope as 5 normal then take a lower time frame H1 reverse.
meaning if D1 is UP and H1 is down BUY. You are in this way buying a retrace in daily trend. I have not tried it out.
Bact test show EA is bug free, Feel free to test and post results.
ciao

I have added POSHybrid EA. I have removed slope3peakyrider ea.
Slope4reverseEA managed to come out of a $40 draw down it found from an slope3reverse EA.
I have removed peaky on steroids from steve hopwoods site from the vps. it has done well.
I have put POSHybrid in my vps. On one MT4 instance i am testing HR1 and on the other i am testing HR4.
I have removed Peaky on steroids from the vps because of the following;
I want to know what an ea's system of trading. I go under the bonnet and read the code. The ea is behaving differently.
So what i have done taken that system and have coded it in my modified ea.
I have said hybrid because i have added filters.
