Hey ido

Just want to say great work on this, very much appreciated

Just wondering if it would be possible to move the blue square that covers the 5 bars back to previous bars. And have it recalculate all the values. I guess that would be back testing.

Thanks

Hi Ido,

Sorry if I'm quite annoying, but being a coder as a profession, I'm quite anal about getting things right with business rules or rules in general when it comes to coding.

Still not quite there - just a little inconsistency:

Thanks Ido,

You also missed my post about the fix for your arrows, or is there more to it?

I can see the arrows fine after my change...

So you changed it to 20*pips2dbl?

Not quite! Should be 20*pips2dbl

spread = MathCeil(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SPREAD)*Point/pips2dbl)*(pips2points*Point);

No worries.

With the spread calculation, I found it rather annoying when trying to enter prices as the ever changing spread would change the price level on almost every tick.

Here's my suggestion that I have posted before.

It rounds it up to prevent the price levels changing so much.

Inserted Code

spread = MathCeil(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SPREAD)*Point/pips2dbl)*(pips2points*Point);

Rounding up is better as it gives you a tiny bit of an extra buffer before your trades are executed.

I can understand why you're missing some parts of my post now... you're tired!

Anyway, you forgot the "MathCeil" bit after the "spread="

Hi Ido,

Initial Stop loss (original rule):
1. Set stop loss at the LL5 minus 3 pips, minus spread

Why stop loss > LL5 ???

It doesn't follow the original rule.

There's two system settings here... you're using the V3 system that Colostarr posted just recently (now in Commercial -> Under Evaluation section)

You want the system setting 1

So set the 'oldcalculations' to true and you've got system setting 1!

Oh, I didn't realise Ido took that out.
