And I understand about people stealing code/ideas and doin the ebay thing...as far as hiding the source...I was just wondering because of the expiration date? I obviously have offended people and I am sorry but there have been many good looking systems whose authors started out just to help people then after a few months there became a subscription.
I shouldn't have bought it up again please take no offense.

I don't think anyone is really offended Jimbo ... we're just having fun with you.
As far as I know the SSS team (Getdown71 and xux99) are one of the good guys ...

because the indicators used are in a different timeframe to m30, i.e. for eu the price channel is 4h and the dss/damiani are 1h in the sets, i was just checking a recent eu setup (pic attached).
maybe i've made a mistake, but thought i'd flag this eu trade (39670212 on my http://www.mt4i.com/users/mt4iresults) which seems to have not been filtered out by the 1h 7/52/1.4 damiani where the green appears to be BELOW the grey.
i'm probably missing something here but u might wanna have a look at this setup on your charts just in case.

They are definitely 2 of the smart guys, didn't have muchtime before work to see what was going on but It had closed like 12 successful trades with at least 8 open running in positive territory.
I made an error though I set lots to .1 for the mini demo and the trades were very small....I was up like $3 on a 3k lol
also is there a template file? my bot is running fine but I cant see any indicators.
5 pairs 30 min EuroUSD, GBPUSD, EURJPY,GBPJPY, EURGBP.
I will sign up for that service right away, I messed up though (taking a bit of a beating as My wife rebooted my PC last night) so I have several running negative(basically I lost 10 hours of MM). I think I am going to re-start my test though as this Draw Down is not the robot's fault and therefore shoul not be documented with the results you are Gathering.
I will wait till the end of the day and see if it can dig itself out of this hole.
If it doesnt I will start a new Demo tonight and make sure to be listed with the service.
I was interested to see if it may be worth cutting off trades that are going on "too" long. After all, the M30 sets essentially are intraday trades and I would think it is not worth keeping them running for excessive amounts of time for the following reasons:
If it is taking a long time to reach a profit target, then it is increasingly unlikely to do so. If it does, then this is more likely to have been the result of some lucky move of the market in its favor, rather than the result of a good entry.
The longer a trade is open, the more vulnerable it is to sudden news events causing market spikes. The sets look for news events at the time of entry, but as a trade drags on, all kinds of other news and market events could occur.
I used richie456's data and put it in OpenOffice Calc (spreadsheet). I then reordered the trades by elapsed time. What I found was that trades that were open over 12 hours contributed just over 1% of the closed profit. In other words, the final gain was very small, and in my opinion the risk of having trades like these open so long was not warranted given the very small gain.
What I am doing in my test with the latest set files is to have trades expire at 720 minutes (12 hours). I am also having it ignore all but the "high" impact news, after discussion on the Scooby BOJ thread about the inaccuracies in the FF news calendar.
The potential downside to the 12 hour-cut off is that perhaps some of these slow-burning trades, if left a long time, can be closed out for a small loss or a moderate gain, whereas closing them at 12 hours could mean closing them while they are in larger loss. My opinion on this is that it affects a small number of trades and the arbitrary nature of the time cut off means that there will be some higher-than-should-have-been losses, and some that will be lower than they otherwise would have been. In addition to this, closing trades at 1/2 day means that they are not just going to keep dragging on through all kinds of news cycles which incur risk.
I will post an online link at some point to my results, but I am in the process of moving from one State to another, so that will have to wait. I will report back general results though.

Hi Invisible,
Best of luck moving! Looking to forward seeing your results soon.
I am building on the very successful approach by Taz. He used v101 and without any time restrictions.
My test is SSS v103 on M30, orig set files but no time restrictions, AUDUSD with EURUSD settings, GBPUSD M5/M30 with Wilko settings, no MTPM EA attached, Broker: Collective FX.
AUDUSD is just trying something new - no idea if EURUSD settings will work.
A question: Is the EA ok if there is a reboot of the VPS or PC? Or are open trades affected, or trades not taken that may have been taken otherwise?
