That was just a word of motivation. But nevertheless, once I get more time, I wouldn't mind helping with the coding. In the meantime, I must confess there was a time that I have gone through the exact same process as you are going through and I could imagine you -just as I in the past- have dozens if not hundreds of expert advisors and mt4 platforms with several brokers trying to work out on every thing and everywhere to reach your objective.

But I realized -and perhaps that could be an advice to you- that to succeed, it is rather better to minimize the projects you are working on to at most 5 and work on them extensively before you jump to new ideas. I'm not sure if you will agree with me, but ideally if you concentrate on two ideas, you'll get faster and better results at the end.

Keep up the great work!

P.S. attached is the backtest graph of an EA I once wrote with such tight stoplosses and money management. It started from $200 and ended up with (9 digits) in just 10 months. So I decided to toss the backtester away and do forward tests instead.
Dude! share it with please!!!

I not only respect the work I learn something more now from every new code I disect.

My current goal for this week is to create an indicator that can detect the three phases of a a trend acceleration, if possible mark them somehow either on the chart itself or with an additional indicator below the chart and make that distinction available for order entry manipulation. The three phases of the trend acceleration are basically the degree of the slope of a moving average.

Someone else gave me some ideas about filtering Cyberia trader too. It's hard to know which projects to give my attention to which will be of most reward. Often breakthrus on one EA precipitate code that I can then transfer to another and upgrade it there too. I'm trying to make my codes in transferable modules that way when possible.

I welcome any collaboration. What becomes possible when winning strategy are combined? I always wonder about making a super EA with the combination of multiple and compatiable strategies...
