No, not at this time, but I suppose I can always add it later?
Something like: for every 10% account increase, increase start lot .01 or something like that. (obviously making the two numbers options)

Okay, I added the TradePlot includes and it appears to be doing something on the backtest (mostly flashing lights) but, maybe it works better when forward testing?
In order to use, open properties box and under Additional, set use_TradePlot to true. And let me know how it works.
Oh, and did you get a chance to see of the TradePlot works?
In case anyone missed it, here is the download.

Yeah, it would be nice to know which settings you were using.

Okay, it's been brought to my attention that the includes aren't installing properly. And sure enough, after I checked, I had the wrong versions uploaded. When I first uploaded version 04_A and the two includes it was correct. But then I modified both and apparently didn't upload the most recent versions of the includes.
The same thing happened to version 04_B too I think, because it's not installing the includes either.
Anyone willing to try again?
Oh, when you save the includes, save them in the include folder, but don't compile them. Do a "Save As." Also, go back and check to see if they have the .mqh extension (not .mq4), otherwise they won't work that way either.

thanks for the upload . which version use only signal to enter trade?
At the same time, I don't see why it shouldn't work, it just doesn't like the way I laid out the code. I may look into it later. Thanks.

Okay, here is version 05. Basically I added power lots feature, that scales up lot size as account equity increases. Just set power_lots to true. It's all automatic after that.
I also removed RSI TP Exit feature and substituted it with RSI TP Override. And here, when specified RSI values are reached, meaning the trend is strong enough, it will override hedge TP, in the event that it will closeout at a higher price ... so long as h_rsi_exit is set accordingly. And, although TP Override appears to work, I find I get better results just by setting h_tp to 0 ... or, maybe 80? Of course it all may vary depending on how everything else is configured.
I also set it up so h_rsi_exit works when hedge is making a profit, which it wasn't doing. Before it was set to work below the order open price, to help minimize hedge losses. Instead, I set h_sl to 25 ... or, it was already set there? It may still be necessary to have an RSI exit below the order open price, depending on the size of hedge you are using. Currently I have it set at 110%, and with h_sl st to 25, it doesn't seem to adversely affect it.
So, that's about it, I guess. You will still need to download the four include files (.mqh) from post #694 above. Also, current settings seem to work best (at least for me) with 5M time frame.
ETA: Forgot to include code for includes. Sorry!
Also set h_level default to level 3.

This thing rocks!
The rsi exit with profit is the way to go!
I have thrown every bad day at it hedging at level 3 and it seems to be solid so far!
