Just wonder again what can be wrong, in settings maybe, that TOB drows the reentry line 3x bigger? If to delete it apears at right distance. I use last version.

Thanks Steve. I followed your instructions but there is no sign of a BE line in the Objects panel. All the other lines i.e sixths, Re-entry and all modified stops are as they should be !!
Cheers

Just checking, because it is easy to mis-type.

Steve,
Fantastic results so far on EOB. I have only been running it OOB for 2.5 days. I am using .1 lots on a 10k demo account on 16 pairs. Very low DD and up 5.55%. Before you decide to go live with this, are you considering adding the stealth aspects?

Hi Steve,
Could you pls. add MN to TOB? I want to test TOB & NB V1 together to see if them can help each other.
Thanks.

I've let this trade run and an L3 BUY at lot size 0.12 has been placed. But no sign of the blue BE line on the chart.
In fact it was not showing on the previous chart posted when two buy trades were already in place.
Anyone else noticed no BE line on charts ?
I've tried the usuals i.e reloaded EOB but to no avail. Can't try to delete it as its not there.
Any ideas ?
Remember that a download does not always succeed, and we are left thinking it has because we still have the robot in our folders. Shut down the platform, delete both the .ex4 and .mq4 files from your Experts, then do a re-download of the latest version.
See if the blue line appears after that.

I have checked my charts and the be line is there on all of them. I cannot work out what the problem might be.

Steve,
With regards to EOB. I have an initial LONG position of .1 gbpchf at 1.45939. A second LONG position of .2 gbpchf has subsequently opened at 1.45892. As my broker uses 5 decimal places, do I need to adjust minpipsfromlast entry to 500, or is something else afoot? I apologize if this has been addressed previously but I have not seen it.

Steve, my EOB placed the 2 (buy stop/sell stop) pending box trades for eurusd yesterday, went on to fill the buy trade and I got up this morning to see it kept going and it closed at a lovely 105 pips when pa hit the broken magenta line. (see attached screenshot)
what I noticed though was the sell stop was still there, so I deleted it given by the time pa retreats back towards the centre the sixths will have moved and the sell stop will be in the wrong place. I'm also presuming eob will place new pending orders when it comes back into the box as well.
Not sure if my logic is sound, but is it possible to have unfilled pending orders deleted if it's partner trade has filled and closed as in this case?

I give up. This damn bot is causing me more trouble than it is worth.

Ok, ignoring my last tired and grumpy response or, even better, taking note of my last grumpy response and sorting out a few damn thingies for yourselves like downloading ea's accurately and deleting the occasional trade that a robot misses out on:
I have come through to the EOB demo to find the be line on the gj/uj buys has turned beautifully red, indicating the recovery trailing stop has kicked in nicely.
All that has to happen now to avoid the kind of ear-splitting scream that would make a volcanic eruption sound like an ant's fart is for EOB to close the Recovery trades when the market retraces back beyond the red line.
Anybody else noticed that 1.2.6 Recovery makes my 0.01 lots per $200 look like a Seriously Bad Idea?

TOB checks for a magic number of zero, so you should be able to combine it with NB 1 by setting NB1 's magic number to > 0.
Thanks for your reply. They can now use together!
some problems:
NB V5 has TP selection :1 Use Six 2 Use Boll 3 Use ATR
Whatever which one I choose the results are same. I think there is another Fixed TP was already set in the program.
TOB don't have TP at " breakeven line " or " Green/Gold/White line" while NB V5 has this function.
I think setting TP is very important for all martingale EAs because I have a very bad exprience by using a counter-trend EA with FXSOL before.
My six level TP is 1.3500, the market went to 1.3503 but my biggest lot still not be closed. I lost $800 in that day due to disconnection or some weird issues. I learned from this lesson and add TP to the EA, then I was never been tricked by broker from that time on.
pls. help.
