The latest update incorporating José Luis' fix is in post 1. It is an essential download.

Cool, also noticed that Global Variables don't get updated on the Platform and I had like 30 GV's when I checked F3 (I'm only running 4 pairs now and don't have any trades open) could be because of loading and re-loading TOB when you release a new update, can you modify TOB to keep checking if the Globals' are correct and delete/clean the un-needed ones? Thanks

My first thought on reading this was, "TOB doesn't use them".

Checking the code, I see it does but not for anything useful so far as I can divine. This looks like something left over from a previous incarnation and can be stripped out.

I will look at this later on.

It all comes down to the quality of oil you feed it. Yours is clearly superior.

I got it.
I dodn't get it because this pair just F*cked me last week at L3 and blew my live account of $420 after growing it from $30 since August due to the Jap crisis.

My broker's 0.01 lots are not penny but dime so did get scared a few times in DD it was going to blow, Ah, well, I think I'll have to make another depost and only trade a select few pairs. More money to the damn broker

Steve given all the latest glitches and some logic errors in the latest few updates could you post up TOB version that had the delete pending fix? I believe it was the one of the first fixes after TOB was left alone for quite awhile (the one I'm currently on).

I am not going to bother with an update just for this - there is no need.

Those of you who want to stop the Globals cluttering up your drive and are capable of basic editing, find this line of code:

int OldBars, OpenTrades, PrevOpenTrades, PendingTrades, Old5Bars;

Remove the red-highlighted code and re-compile. Double-click the two error messages and delete the line of code this takes you to, and re-compile.

Then find this line of code:
string GvName, Gap, ScreenMessage;

and repeat the delete-re-compile routine.

You can then press the F3 key and delete the redundant global variables.

Hi Steve,

I was just wondering if you were working on greven's idea to implement a last candle hi/lo for a trailing SL once we break through the gold line?

I think this would be a great addition.

Thanks for creating a great bot and all your hard work.

Just one question, if ther's no reentry line drawn on the chart, how can I add it manually?

Hi!
I was thinking about it too, I think this would be pretty interesting to experiment with.

Could this be enhanced by making this a trailing stop based on the last candle hi/lo + user defined number of pips? this may help avoiding being stopped out by really short candles once price crosses the Gold Line. Any opinions on this?

You add a line to your chart, then access its properties and make sure its name is "Re entry line". You have to be precise about the name, or TOB cannot recognise it.

No, I am not. LUC would kick in far too easily.

Sorry greven. I had forgotten about this, for the reason I state.

Not much of a week to report here.

-29 pips.

+$3.16, i.e. a 0.2% increase on the balance of my (now) $1619.14 account.

A couple of Recovery groups created during The Day Of Chaos closed; this explains the negative pips but positive profit. Still got two groups open; pity they are not euraud - hey-ho.

Better luck next week, everyone.

Given my recently-acquired fondness for the positive swap awarded to IBFX euraud sell trades, I opened a demo and stuck a trade on it. The intention is to leave it to see if the swap eventually overcomes the dd on the trade. I have sold euraud, so we all know that the price will shoot northwards for the next three years.

It would be nice to be able to hedge this pair. Anyone know of a buy eurxxx that pays positive swap?

Hi Steve,
I’m happy as a clam with TOB…..It solved my USDCHF recovery puzzle and Scoobs turned loose of the pairs and I got another quick trade before shutdown tonight….Nice

Have a great weekend

Scoob's filter. BTW I hedge, but only at the brink of disaster.
of disaster...no kidding. Clearly a great thinker.
