I have not been ignoring the White Box trading suggestions; it has taken me a while to work out how best to implement them. Please see Update 1st June 2011 in post 1.

Brilliant contributions guys. Keep them coming.

One question regarding the last update:

In the event the INVERTED box gets only one trade opened (say, a SELL when price breaks from the top of the white box) and the price keeps going up to the top magenta line, leaving the trade in DD, will it be considered as a CT trade in need of recovery?

Or will TB simply wait for the price to go down and close for a profit at the bottom magenta line? DD could be pretty bad and "longlasting" unless recovery comes into play in this scenario

Only leave White Box Original trading enabled. Do not trade the new methods live. There are bugs that I am chasing down.

Lots of identical pendings being sent because of some logic bloops. Fixing them right now.

First bugfix in post 1. This appears to cure the Inverted Method bloops.

I got a couple of duplicate trades that I took care of manually with the SAMEPRICE Method. Does this fix take care of that too or should I turn off this mode for now?

I am running a Sameprice backtest now and everything appears to be fixed.
