Hi All,
I've been going through The Old Beast to reapply some simple changes I make to allow me to trade XAUUSD and prevent a number of annoying errors (Invalid stops etc). I've been trading my version live for about 4 months, but now that Steve has stopped development, I figured it would be worthwhile to take his latest final version.
I have two questions, the first is about the code the second is practical:
1. There is a procedure called CleanUp. Looking back at my older version this actually does stuff. However, in the last version Steve posted, this simply returns true all the time. Has anyone had issues with duplicate trades or pending orders not being deleted? I'm going to assume that this proc is no longer needed, but I wanted to be sure as it looks like this may have been a debugging attempt that was never cleaned up.
2. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on hedging. In my trading, none of the hedges has ever worked out (maybe I didn't let them run long enough). I'm leaning toward just turning this off and doing some modifications to the code around ReEntryLinePips to space out the recovery a bit. Alternatively, I might add a bit of code to close my hedge trades if they start to retrace... Anyone else work on this recently?
Thanks!
