Beastie: a Nanningbob trend and counter-trend auto-trader by Steve Hopwood
Steve,
It seems it doesnt matter how you change the inputs, it always displays that it will close at the greeen line ?

Not on mine it doesn't, Scoobs. You sure you have the latest bug-fix?
This is strange, i downloaded the latest one but look at this screen shot ?
void StartCT()
{
//This function acts as start() for counter-trend trading
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Calculate volatility for re-entry line at the start of each D1 candle
if (D1Bars != iBars(NULL, PERIOD_D1) )
{
D1Bars = iBars(NULL, PERIOD_D1);
//Get average price movement over LookBackPeriods
Volatility = CalculateVolatility(PERIOD_D1, LookBackDays);
CalculateReEntryLinePips();
[color=Red]CalculateTradeClosureLine();[/color]
}//if (D1Bars != iBars(NULL, PERIOD_D1) )

Not often we get such a favourable tight range to scalp.
I've only had one of them trades and it's still open !!
Is it the Scoobs experimental or the 'Normal' latest ? At the moment I am still running your latest and it is performing very wel, however here's something I noticed, which is obviously a platform thingy.
Your Beastie opened a Sell USDCAD at 0.99777 and closed at the gold line at 0.99659 for a profit of £1.47 (Alpari)
And I am running 'Whips_Beastie on another demo (Alpari) and it took more or less the exact same trade Sell at 0.99776 and closed at the gold at 0.99659 however it made £14.63
Just something to think about if it was running live. Where would you stand in this sort of situation ? Does it happen often ? I've not noticed it before but with so many trades running it is difficult to compare...
If you downloaded the update before reading this post, then remember to turn off all your CloseTradeAtxxx inputs.
I have put up a version that does this for you, but if you cannot be bothered with the re-download, just remember to turn them all to false.

If you look at this screen shot then the halftopsixth and halfbottomsixth lines are not visible because the values seem to be way out ?
It works fine on GBPJPY but not on USDJPY, I havent checked any other pairs.
Cheers
