Having made the offer, I promptly went away for a day or 2.

Steve I placed the new version up and will let you know how it goes. I did notice it seems to be staying asleep. Not sure if this is because the market isn't open yet here or if there is a problem with that bit.

Without a pair of braces following
for (int b=0;b < No_Trade_For_X_Bars;b++)
I'm not sure what the compiler will make of it.
But if it works for Matrixebiz, it must be ok.

Nope, 'tis because the markets are still effectively closed. The EA will wake up as soon as the chart on which it is installed gets its first tick.

I do not know what effect running the EA will have before the markets open. It will do its 2 mins sleeping, then wake up about the time the indi is refreshing all its readings. This might cause it to misbehave - I don't know. I never run it until after my platform can be guaranteed its first ticks.

Brilliant, Junja. Thanks. You have saved me a lot work. Those blasted curly braces are indeed missing and I hate to imagine what effect their absence might have, or how long it would have taken me to find the error.

So, sorry everyone. If you downloaded the previous V4a then you need to re-download.

Steve just so you know it is still opening trades after I close them out. it happened on the eur/chf It was up a bit so I closed it and it immediately reopened the position even though the 2 bar rule is enabled.

Is this rule being applied on each method? I am doing the dc method atm.

I am not going to try to solve this right now because:

1. it is 12.53 at night, UK time
2. the port that preceeded the red wine was very nice
3. the red wind that preceeded the whisky was very nice
