Quoting stockwetDislikedFirst, what version of MetaTrader are you using?
Second, where are you seeing the "0" at? In the code? Or, are you dragging the EA onto a chart and see it there?
Try getting a fresh copy of the EA. But, first, check your MetaTrader version. Go to Help | About and look for Version ....
Also, you need to make sure your EA is saved in the Experts directory. You shouldn't even need to compile it - it should compile on it's own.Ignored

I have not demo tested this. I don't know if things work quite properly yet. I do expect a bug or two to show up. Let me know what you find.

Quoting stockwetDislikedI no longer have the ability to edit the first post. So, I am placing the updated Fozzy file right here. I'm calling this version 2.0 since I added a couple significant features - setting the SL using ATR and taking partial profits.
Using the ATR for SL seems to have a fantastic impact on the profitability of the EA. I also found that the optimal partial profit amount for EURUSD was 50 pips.
I'll go through the settings as a way to describe the features.
Version 2.0.0 features:
- Use_BB_Filter: Specify whether to adhere to the BB medial line rule or not. If set to false, the EA will take ALL crosses regardless of BB median line.
- Use_00_GMT: If set to true, then, the EA will only place a trade at 00 GMT time. This will prevent the EA from being used on other time periods. Set this to false if you want the EA to check for signals at the close of the bar, which would enable it to be run on other time periods.
- Lots: Amount of Lots to trade.
- Take_Partial_Profit_Lots: Amount of lots to take out when the partial profit target is reached.
- Take_Partial_Profit: Set the partial profit target. At this level, the EA will close a portion of the position equal to the number of lots specified by Take_Partial_Profit_Lots. If you set this to =0, the EA will not take any partial profit out.
- TakeProfit: Sets the maximum take profit amount.
- Use_ATR_Stop: Sets the initial SL based on the ATR (10) value, as specified by BeachBum. If you set this to false, the initial SL will be set according to the original fozzy rules - e.g. the high or low of the previous bar depending on trade direction.
- Use_ATR_Pct: BeachBum recommends using a fraction of the actual ATR value set at 70% or 80% of the ATR. So, if this was set to 70% and the ATR value was 100, then, your actual SL set would be 70 pips from the entry price.
- Init_Stop_Cushion: You can add an extra cushion to your initial stop if desired.
- The remaining variables are self-explanatory and previously explained.
I have not demo tested this. I don't know if things work quite properly yet. I do expect a bug or two to show up. Let me know what you find.

Quoting BeachBumDislikedBecause I lack experience in backtesting and so I'm not sure about my results, I'm posting the results of one of my tests and would appreciate some feedback. This looks good, but how accurate is it?Ignored
Quoting stockwetDislikedHi BeachBum,
It does look good initially. But, I read that unless you use the Alpari historical data, you get very poor modeling quality, which skews the actual results. That's probably why my tests using just the crosses (without the BB median line as a filter) ended up totally different than what you have. I'll post my report using your identical settings and see how it compares with the Alpari data.
