If you look at your original question you will see why Steve has replied the way in which he has.
Your original question was
"Steve, do you trade v2 with all settings on default? If not, which ones do you change, and why? Please give us some added insight into how you approach this if it differs from the defaults. Thanks for all your work on this, and to all the other participants as well!"
The above question is a bad question to start out with. Mainly the parts i have highlighted in red.
They show that you have no basic knowledge of the system and the settings used at all.
To use an example of Programming!
If someone was to ask you for help on choosing between Object programming and Functional and then, asks why you use one or the other, then asks which settings to use while programming, then asks when to use these settings................etc !!!!
You would first ask yourself where do i start answering these questions because these are the questions that were answered at the beginning of the course (thread) that this person has supposedly sat through.
So you tell them the only thing that will help them (ask a better) be more concise in what they want to know, and possibly show that they will understand the answer, better still that you are not repeating what you have said to them over the past 12 months (throughout thread).
Which is "Go back to the notes (posts) that you have from the begining of the course (thread)"
I think you are missing the point of what Steve is saying to you, he is being polite about this too.
You might find once you have done all of this you will come up with a question that is based on the system and is about the "times to trade the various settings you can come accross" or "weather your personal approach to using the ea and indicators is worth looking into" as a possible alternative, and yes you can only ask such questions if you have tried using the ea to find out if it is even possible.
By the way between the two threads there is enough information to almost use this with any method involving clustered indicators or currency strength.
And no offense indented just that the question really would have taken a long long long time to answer, in any where near adequate detail, to top it off it has already been answered.
Better than asking the first question you should have suggested a compilation of all the posts that relate to each method tried and the results, in a wiki that will answer such questions. That way it would be a much welcomed contribution to all that need quick answers. It would be something that someone else on this thread could do too if you or Steve do not have the time.
Maybe i will look into it later I have been following this since November last year with only a short laps in Feb this year otherwise I think i know whats been going on with both threads and the systems plus some of the mix ups too. But will have to make time to do this.
Anyway rambling now. you get the point these are some of the best guys on this forum and they are just trying to help you, they have given the most and they may have lost a lot on the way through this especially time with kids if i remember Kang and Steves posts, not to mention Eddies real time losses too.
They are also trying to stop you from making a huge mistake or loss.
Try and understand what they are saying. It will only help. Especially when it is their indicators, EA, and system you are asking advice about (trying to use to make money).

DislikedBe that as it may, it still doesn't explain why you can't answer my post. I was asking for your added insight; why you trade the system the way you do. Everything else you alluded to is pure negative transferance and had no part in my question.
Your "hundreds of hours" (in which I have no doubt!) was as a system developer. That in no way relates to the student. To force someone, by ignoring their questions and comments, to backtrack over 100% of your defunct notes and changes over the past 10 months in order to sift the...Ignored
