The only problem with working with ones that have been...cough, cough...opened...is that they come out as gobbledygook! The look nothing like how it originally would have before being compiled. So...not only is it trying to figure out somebody else's style of coding (which can already be an absolute nightmare), but its like trying to do it while solving a Rubix Cube through a fish eye lense.

You probably know code a little more than you think, but looking at those ones that have been "serviced" will make you feel like you don't have a clue...
The lifesdream EAs that I have been playing with are now posted open code, so no decompiling required, or, Cough Cough, they are already opened.

Small mods to these is really what I am looking at, something to help minimize the number of orders by adding minimum steps into the equation. The CCI, I can work that shit out based on MA crossovers using an average of high value to low and appying to the proper TF...much the same as the stochs bot, can easily be worked out, but the crossover with multiple trades in the same single candle is the account killer...

I haven't really fooked with code since my TRS80 days or much since highskewl when I did a little playing on the Apple IIe...lol...

I can understand a little, but not enought to make the mods, well, nothing that I need to have done.

Yeah, going scratch works would seemingly be the way to go, but again, even given a version of EA Gen 4, I gotta tuff enuff time trying to figure out what to do and the proper order of opperations. Sure there is always reading the directions, but where the fuck has that ever got anybody?

>>Dunno<<

When I gotta problem with my vehicle, I take it into the mechanic. Sure, I am typically the one getting the lube job in the end, but really, costs typically go way higher on the DIY over getting it done right in the beginning.

Mistakes are what learning is all about. There is no perfection and there is always room for improvement. That's what living is all about.

Don't sweat the petty stuff....

Don't pet the sweatty stuff...

Living is a part of dying. Make the most of what you can with what you have and everyday will be better than the last.

All the best to ya in this new year my friend!

Email me one of the "already opened" ones. I'll let you know if the developer chose to share it...or if somebody else decided to have it opened, and share it on the developer's behalf!

In my view 1.25 will break and this zone under it need to b watched carefully
many will lose there because trying to catch the bottom.

Groovy Marsha! That IS wide open! No gobbledygook in sight. Now we can make your tweaks easily.

Look back at your last mails to me...and draw up a new one with where you stand now. Details, details, details. Doesn't have to be today. I have a flight on Wednesday, and that is actually one of my favourite places to code. Try to send me something by Monday so I can review it, and plan out an attack for when the door on the tin can closes!
