dee, I have included the code you sent within comments, so you can quickly adapt subsequent releases.
I only thought this would be important because Scooby made a big deal about keeping the TpMultiplicationFactor low so that orders could close quickly. The new number of 200 isn't even double the originally suggested factor of 120. Trading something that requires a move that's 10x gtr increases the risk of the basket being open longer. something to think about or to test a bit longer.

Question.
I have 6 Vouchers.
Does this mean I can get a free hambuger meal or get new tyres for my R8 or something ?
It is a system intended to show that the individual has something useful to say. Only members with 4+ vouchers are allowed to vouch for anyone else, so the system is supposed to be self-regulatory.
The six who have vouched for you believe you have something pretty good to listen to. You will get a lot more.
So, a vouch is intended as a gesture of respect and appreciation. You would probably rather have a set of tires for the R8 but tough; you still have to buy them yourself.

You can exchange them for books at Amazon.com

It would be good if the reverse was true too.
So, if you thought someone was a complete idiot, then they would have negative vouchers. The more they have the bigger the idiot.

Yep, except I would still be working my way back up through the -800's.
Very nice to see the thread moving at a rapid pace. 
Seems like a lot of progress has been made over the past week or two.
Sadly, I haven't had the chance to try out the EA.
I've attached the indicators onto the template and have had a look at the chart though, and it's very impressive.
Will definitely like to spend more time on it, but I've been busy trading my main account. I'm looking at asking a programmer friend of mine to code the strategy in Java and see if it correctly mirrors the strategy. I have my main account over at Dukascopy, and they are using a Java platform.
Whoever's looking at starting a new account, I highly recommend them. A very professional company with a fantastic platform. In my opinion anyway.
Whatever it is, if it's successful I'll be sure to post it here in case any of you are using a Java platform as well.
The strategy definitely has got me thinking though, and great thanks to Scooby for that. I'll be trying out a hedging strategy based on this and see what I can come up with, as my broker allows me to open positions on both sides at the same time.
Big thanks to all the contributors in this thread. It's nice to see people sharing and helping each other out.

Thanks Steve! Makes changing updates much easier for me

dee
BaseLot=Balance/2000 (1 minilot has the same pipvalue as 0,1 standardlot)
TpMultiplicationFactor=20 (1 mini*20=0,1 standard*200)
If I compare my $500 Alpari standard with $500 IBFX mini the above settings seems to give the same resultat.
