Suggestion 1: Give more details.

The way you describe it, it is like asking how many people are in that dark room in that
unknown country. Would you know the answer ?

I think sending the EA here would be the best.Its a simple ea that opens a long trade when a 5 minute canlde is closing above upper line of envelope(period 20) if the previous close was bellow the upper line.The opposite goes for a sell.As mentioned its working on strategy tester.But wont open a live trade.Mayby it has to do with the options?(i made this ea on with an ea builder-didnt code it)
