On the use of Strategy Tester:
The indicator and EAs that I've uploaded haven't been tested -- they are "straight out of the oven." As unreliable as Strategy Tester is, it and Demo testing are currently our best friends. If you are not familiar or comfortable using Strategy Tester, please become familiar and comfortable.
My "friend" @George considered anyone with less than 10000 hours of screen time to be a lazy trader. My criterion isn't as demanding, but I do have one. Anyone who thinks they are an MT4 trader or who wants to be an MT4 trader and who doesn't know how to use Strategy Tester is both lazy and foolish. Just saying...
Going Forward...
I have no further ideas or plans for the BD strategy. My search is over. I want to get back to trading. I'm still here and will continue to monitor the thread and support the software, but I wish to back away and turn much of it over to @bishopdotun on his thread (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=930790). He is the brains behind the strategy and understands trading issues at a much deeper level than me.
Having said that, I don't mean to suggest that people bombard him with silly issues or things they could figure-out themselves if they were to spend 5 minutes playing detective. In other words -- treat him as the valuable resource that he is and make it enjoyable for him, as well. Don't treat him as someone to be used because you are too lazy to figure it out yourself.
If you have good results to share -- please do so by all means. It makes us feel good and gives others confidence. And please include screen shots of the entire chart and enough details so others can reproduce and share in your success.
And I would request that people NOT post "thank you" comments or PMs. I know people have appreciated the effort and that is most satisfying to me. And, again, I'm not going anywhere. @bishopdotun is the architect and I had the pleasure of being the bricklayer. Now that the bricks have been laid it is up to the architect to share his creation.
