Hi Erebus Thanks for sharing your set file and the info in post 226. I am trying to translate the unbelievable large swings (10 000 pips +or -) into a workable strategy that could be used on a small live account after some more testing. I thought I would limit the number of entries per pair to 2 and extend the in between hours to 12. I am also trying the Dynamic lot sizing for the first time. I am running your identical set file on a FXCM Demo and got some trades shortly after of which only the 2nd trade placed the SL/TP. I entered the SL/TP on...
Those errors could depend on how you start the EA up; What I do is ensure there is enough data or price history for the indicator to read from. I start with 1 pair only, disable Auto Scroll, click Zoom Out to the max, then hold the Home key to load data on 1 hour time frame, when that stops, switch to Daily and same again.
Only then do I put the indicators on, get the chart the way I want it, check if there may be any chance of trade signal due to where price is (maybe W%R) only then do I put the EA on and enable it.
Once that is stable, saved the Template, open another pair, refresh the history as before, all looks good, apply the Template and so on.
If it is only when you first started up, that's my best guess, but if it is continuing problem then must be an EA programming fault perhaps.

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.
hi TCO... thanks for all your effort to make a profitable EA.. just one request
Just so everyone is not confused, my username has been changed from "thehenryfam" to "turtlefan". Got to thinking that maybe it wasn't too smart to have my real name posted all over these boards, and so they agreed to change it for me. Sorry for any confusion that may result!TurtleFan (thehenryfam)
Hi Friend, I thought that was you. Nice avatar. I can change the reference in the credits for your coding too. So everyone is on the same page. Thanks!
