I don't know. The criteria was there to open a short. I doubled checked the open and closed orders and didn't see it. I will watch for the short tonight (0:00 GMT).
As I said, already, I think that original code should work ok, but you seem to suggest that what I initially changed (then changed back!) produced different results - is this correct?

No, not at all. I just don't know why it didn't open a short. Perhaps there is a bug in the code. It is just odd that all the other trades opened.
I appreciate all your help Omelette.

check your EA properties in MT4, make sure to choose long & short positions.
I´m testing the original ea SDS_UMM_Ver1 and until now i´m not
experiencing the lot size problem Lcfxtrader described.
You can see in the attached statement that some orders after a losing
trade opened a .02 lot size, that should be correct according with lcfxtrder rules.
I will put the new ea in test in a different terminal and compare the results
and look for possible bugs.
I´m using Activtrades and testing in micro lots, don´t know if this is the problem.
Anyway, until now the ea produced great results and i hope it continues like
this.
P.S. Is it possible to introduce an option in ea that will allow the user to choose between one lot increase or decrease and open constant lot size.
Even if the trade losses it will open the same lot size.

I have a real problem with EA's that require you to open a dozen individual charts, so I am converting it to run on a single chart atm (between trades, which so far have been losers! ) - which probably means I will have introduced a boat-load of additional bugs! Anyway, more after market-close sometime...

Looking foward to your improvements. Can you please comment on why you have a problem with multiple charts? Does it slow down the performance of the EA? I guess it would comsume more computer resources. So what do you think about the logic of the system? If it can return 50% wins over time without to much chop in range markets it may have a good chance of success. This is a basic trend following system with a spin on mm.
Would you mind to share the template you´re using and the indicators.
Thanks
The ADR indicator is posted on the 1st page. The others are default in MT4. Settings are posted here in the thread. Nothing is concrete on the settings because it's in the testing phase.
i ve changed the ma period to 20 and the min day range to 1 day, but there was nothing different with the result than the original 200 and 50 days, why?
