Did you found a way to work around this memory problem?

By the way i was curious about the retracement strategy (since i just use breakouts), i donīt want you to explain how is it, just curious to know how many past days it uses to define a retracement.

I also want to tell you that you were best inspiration i had for starting to code. My EAs use a routine for MM used by you in Phoenix and i always write it there "Calculate optimal lot size by Hendrick". Thanks for everything.

cheers

Hi Carllos,

First I had 2 problems: CPU and memory. After recoding the indicator these problems are more or less solved. To be honest my pc has a Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB RAM. While I'm writing this I just checked memory-usage and as usual it stays around 137.000 Kb. Well, I think that's acceptable. CPU-usage had dropped a lot. I achieved this by making the calculations inside the indicator as efficient as possible and

To code to check if a retracement has successfully bounced back into the direction of the trend is still under development. But so far the signals we get are quite reliable.
