I had 5 trades going on the USD when the dollar crashed and they all stopped out. What happened to the Dollar today? I guess in hindsight I shouldn't have entered all those trades against one currency. I great lesson but what went wrong?

DislikedHi Longbar,
Found this entry in one of the Experts logs:
13:27:07 MisterED_v0.15.0 AUDUSD,H4: INFO: SubmitOrder - new BUYSTOP order at bid:0.83804000 , entry:0.84166000 SL:0.00000000 TP:0.00000000 Lot:1.05000000 exp:2009.08.27 23:59:59 ExitMethod:0
13:27:07 is local MDT time and if the 23:59 exp time in the INFO entry is chart time, then it should have expired at 16:59 MDT which is the end of the bar next to the trigger bar. (MDT...Ignored
JR: you should see now the expiration date for all the pending orders and those should be cancelled by the broker at the end of the bar should they not get triggered earlier. Well at least that's the hope

DislikedHi Longbar,
I've been testing the M30 and M15 tf's. I noticed that it traded almost every bar for awhile, and then stopped trading, displaying "INFO: CheckTrigger - this bar not marked for trading".
I had originally entered all 24 hours of bars to the EA and it saved them, but when I looked at the TradeTime field I saw that the entry had been truncated.
Here is a copy of the TradeTime M15 values still in the EA:
[color=darkred]00:00 00:15 00:30 00:45 01:00 01:15 01:30 01:45 02:00 02:15 02:30 02:45 03:00 03:15 03:30 03:45 04:00 04:15 04:30...Ignored
DislikedI make an attempt to review all outstanding features/issues with the EA. This is the list comes to my mind with no particular order:
- Proper order handling during counter trigger
- Using the fixed HAS indicator - with wick below the body
- Tracking maximum retracement since order open
- Enable/disable retracement trigger entry
- T3 indicator
- News filter using THV3 FFCal.mq4
In terms of the trading strategy I think the very first one...

The T3 is not of interest. Additional indicators, however well intentioned and logical appearing, usually just muddy the method and results and invite discretionary trades. KISS.
I check the news frequently during the day and consider it essential, but I don't want it included in the EA. Too complex an addition. Most traders will trade some, but not all, red/ orange events, so a simple flag won't work and you're back to assessing each event and deciding trade/ no trade. There are several free news indicators that will post recent/ upcomming events and you can filter for red, orange, yellow flags per FF calendar. Keep it separate and choose the one you like best, or just check the news calendars. Again, KISS.
Being able to Enable/disable retracement trigger entry wouldn't hurt, but I don't believe it offers much potential for improving results, so it would be a low priority.

The new value 'All' can substitude the full list of either name of all days (TradeDay parameter) or time of all bars (TradeTimeXXX param). This will simplify setting up the EA when all opportunities should be traded. The All word is case sensitive, no spaces before after the word please...
The MaxOpenPriceDiff parameter provides a bit of +/- pips flexibility for the second order entry around the open price of the first order. If you want that the second order should not be submitted should the price since the first order moved away more than 10 pips then set the MaxOpenPriceDiff to 10. Note that this parameter value will be adjusted to 3 or 5 digit feed, ie multiplied by 10 in that case to deal with platforms using fraction pips.

Have a good trading!

DislikedI figured out that the reason I was getting the Debug messages was due to the fact that I forgot to set "Allow Live Trading" in the params. I'd still like a reference to the usage of the StatMethod parameter.Ignored
For the last one ensure that you enabled "All History" in the Account History tab to list all the tickets from the past for the purpose of stat file generation.
