Thanks. Cheers.

Hehe. How about some meanings for MVP.

Let's have some fun. Be as rude as you want.

In sports, a Most Valuable Player (MVP) award is an honor typically bestowed upon the best performing player or players on a specific team, in an entire league, or for a particular contest or series of contests. Initially used in professional sports, the term is now also commonly used in amateur sports, as well as in other completely unrelated fields of endeavor such as business and music awards.

The term "Most Valuable Player" is typically only used in Canada, the United States and South Korea. In many sports, some MVP awards are presented just for a specific game or match (in other words, a man of the match award), while others are awarded based on an entire season or year. The gender neutral term "Player of the Match" is usually substituted for "Man of the Match" in women's team competitions.[1]

Specific North American examples include (first regular season, then playoffs):

Have a great Holiday Steve.....Thanks for the fun

Mostly Vegetable n' Pork (the beast's favorite yet simple meal)

Mainly Vertical Protagonist (except when you've had too much vodka Steve)

Back to Christmas Turkey now.

I'm hoping that one day I do something stupid enough to be on the receiving end of one of 'em. Nothing would make me prouder. I would start an "I've Been Verbally Abused By Steve Hopwood" club (and never be lonely.)

"Shit My Dad Says" has nothing on Sir Hopalong.

You know I'm kidding, Steve. You're my hero. In fact, after we all get rich, I wanna jump the pond in my G8 and take piano lessons from you.

I'm running TB on a UK based demo account. I am guessing the way it trades, that it will not comply with FIFO rules if it is used with a US broker. AM i correct?

Why? Its a valid question. I have demoed this with hedging OFF on a US broker AND on a UK broker. Results are totally different - all because of FIFO. Its also a notice to those visitors to the forum who have US brokers.

I should not have to walk on egg shells in the forum when thinking about asking questions, especially after I have read all supporting documentation meticulously.

Anyway, just in case, Steve.. please dont ban me... please dont ban me.... please dont ban me....please dont ban me...please dont ban me

I tried it on a us broker and the FIFO screws it up, for me at least

I've been slowly switching to forex4you as a broker seems to work for me

It is not always easy to work out which trades came from which trading method once they have closed.

Some time in the next few days, I will:
[list=1][*]make TB add the relevant comments to trades when the account is a demo; this will make it easier to work out which of the three systems is the most profitable. I shall disable this for live trading - nobody should be doing this yet.[*]Somewhere along the line in the evolution, Beastie has lost the re-entry line. I think this needs reintroducing.[*]along with 2), I plan automating the Start_Recovery_at_trades...
I have done nos 1 & 2 - post one as usual.

I decided against no 3; no reason why users should not decide this for themselves.

TB should add a re-entry line and only take fresh Recovery trades when the market is beyond the line. It should replace a missing re-entry line. I cannot guarantee that the code is watertight.

I have been wondering why TB does not take as many Normal trades as does its older counterpart.

Maybe the spread affects the 'send pending' decision? I have added a calculation to take care of this to the Normal code; TB should now send a pending at NormalPipsBuffer +- the spread, depending on the trading direction.

Update in post 1.

If I may: The Beast is a thing of beauty.

I had to bump The Beast from demo rotation a while back because my demos were all occupied by various versions of the ALF bot (which I was certain was going to make all of us filthy rich. Oh well.)
So with that behind me and my crayolas back in their box, The Beast was returned to action last Monday. That's right, the beginning of the end of the year--Christmas week. The general opinion is that this is a pretty dicey time of the year to be trading. Apparently, that doesn't apply to TB. On the 6 US$ majors & EURO/YEN, ootb except no hedging, it's currently up around 900p. At one point, it was close to 1100.

I can't wait til it's 'watertight'.

Oops. Never possessed a Masters degree before, so I got the punctuation wrong.

Corrected now.
