I suspect he is an Aspie, but I could be wrong. Just joking, of course. Yet, he dosen't speak very often....

He only speaks when he has something to say. Doesn't go in for projectile verbal vomit.

I run my account with a near-constant floating dd of 5 - 10% of the balance. If you cannot tolerate dd, then go away now.
It's absolutely okay!
If you earn per day 0.5-2% minimum you could have counterbalanced it after 5-20 trading days. So you could even have more drawdowns.
Keep it on!
Kindest regards

is in order to determine which inputs should remain, and which should go in the forthcoming, expertly edited, leaner and meaner, TOB, as threatened above??
When I start re-writing the bot, I will be asking for help only from fantastic programmers whose skills make mine look silly - sq, mattb, kinghigh, rmyers etc. This will not be a public project. It will emerge bright and shiny and in full working order in a few months time. This is not about developing a concept; it is about producing code that others can actually understand and work with - 'others' to include me. Most of the time, I have only the vaguest idea what the current code is intended to do.

Hi Steve,
When you plan to officially release EOB as TOB...This EOB really rocks!

I finally worked out why the parter box pending was not being deleted when a box trade hits tp.
In testing this with strategy tester, I noticed that some trades were closing at a loss after many tp modifications. This happens when a box trade grunges around going nowhere for ages and the tp is changed to reflect changes in the gold/magenta tp.
I have added code to prevent eob setting a losing tp.

I 'm a beginner coder I used to pay $50 for each EA.
After my 3 EAs failed, I decide to do it myself. Becasue I want to make them adapt to various market conditions. So there could be many versions of EA. But the coder charged me $20 for each change. That makes me mad!
I started to read steve's code.At first, is was diffcult to understand but after a couple of month I can replace some modules with my own idea.
From now on, I will depend on that coder no more! it's enough!
Here is a latest winning bot for sharing.
use on 5min none-cross...

That box eurgbp buy hit its tp a while ago and EOB closed its parter sell pending as required, so it looks as though that little problem is solved.
There appears to be a problem with the re-entry line during Recovery. I have two gbpchf ct buys open from about the time that Noah discovered woodwork. I had the opportunity for an L3 earlier that eob was steadfastly ignoring - probably because of the gj trades and balance and stuff. I took the trade manually and eob drew the line massively in the wrong place. Deleting the line made no difference. I had to let eob draw the line, then edit the price myself.
eob has taken an eu ct sell and drawn the line correctly, so the problem appears to be with Recovery. Just be aware if you are also trading eob live, and watch out for the problem.

An increasing number of people are having trouble with downloading updates.
I do not have this problem because I am the coder and so do not have to download the updates. I have added a Downloading updates section to post 1 with detailed instructions about this error-fraught activity. If anyone has more to add to this, please sing out.

Another slight problem with EOB, or at least a problem I'm having. I manually closed a trade or 3, and now for some inexplicable reason the EA is still trying to modify one of those closed trades. The error log is nothing buy one log stream of "EOB EURGBP unknown ticket ###### for ordermodifiy function"..
I'm sure there is a simple solution for this..
When intervening manually with ea trades - any ea - always shut the ea down first. If you interfere manually with something being done robotically, you can expect chaos.
You will still see this error message. My advice here is in the form of a general principle for ea use.
