from what I can see...this chunk of code alone was so multi-tasking...
anyway's....if there are not at least 1 dozen bugs that we find it would be a miracle...there are several more chunks of code interlaced and it is just impossible to avoid them..
So please folks...FIND THOSE 1 DOZEN BUGS and wolfe do not be too sensitve about many bugs...we are here to help.

Right here is what I had to code JUST to determine the next lot size in a trade progression, depending on how the user set it up.
PHP Code:
if (Double_Lotsize==false)
{
Lot_Size=LastLots+Lot_Size_Increment;
}
if (Double_Lotsize==true)
{
Lot_Size=LastLots*2;
}
if (Long_Short_Balance==true)
{
if (SellLots>BuyLots)
{
Lot_Size=((SellLots-BuyLots)+Balance_Weight);
}
else Lot_Size=LastLots+Lot_Size_Increment;
}
if (Choose_Own_Progression==true)
{
if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==1){Lot_Size=Trade_2;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==2){Lot_Size=Trade_3;}
if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==3){Lot_Size=Trade_4;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==4){Lot_Size=Trade_5;}
if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==5){Lot_Size=Trade_6;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==6){Lot_Size=Trade_7;}
if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==7){Lot_Size=Trade_8;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==8){Lot_Size=Trade_9;}
if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==9){Lot_Size=Trade_10;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==10){Lot_Size=Trade_11;}
if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==11){Lot_Size=Trade_12;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==12){Lot_Size=Trade_13;}
if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==13){Lot_Size=Trade_14;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==14){Lot_Size=Trade_15;}
if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==15){Lot_Size=Trade_16;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==16){Lot_Size=Trade_17;}
if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==17){Lot_Size=Trade_18;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==18){Lot_Size=Trade_19;}
if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==19){Lot_Size=Trade_20;}
}
RefreshRates();
Ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lot_Size,Ask,Slippage,NULL,NULL,"TFX_LONG_ADDITIONAL",Magic_Number,0,Green);
As you see it got very confusing, and it does have some limitations. Code reads right to left, top to bottom, just as you or I would.(only it does this in a nano second)
Now you can see the last decision method the code reads is this one:
PHP Code:
if (Choose_Own_Progression==true)
{
If Choose_Own_Progression is set to true, this is the last thing the code reads to decide which method for lot size it will use, all others that were true will not execute. Only the last one that the code read to be true.

I fully expect there to be some set up problems with certain combinations of options selected. I do want people to bring them to my attention if found. The whole reason it got so complicated was trying to include as many people's ideas as possible.
I thought about coding a bunch of annoying pop-up alerts, so that when people chose an un-workable combination, it alerted them, and disabled trade. But, I didn't get around to that yet, I was anxious for people to have and test.
Here is a quick back best the data is standard and there are a lot of errors with in the data.
Have a look at the end.
I have tried multiple setups but the same result occurs.
Cheers

Beno,
Thanks for running some back tests. I would be interested to see what happens if you were to run the exact same back test, only make your initial deposit more than $100.00. Make it like $5000.00, or even $10000.00.
Back tests are pretty un-reliable. But some combinations show promise. Check this one out. There is always some kind of a drop off in profit at the end, because the EA is usually in the middle of a cycle trying to make your profit, and then the tester closes all when you hit your ending date.
Thanks wolfe for such a wonderful work put together in this version, overall the quality, ideas and inputs are never seen before. So, we all will do a full forward test with this and report the bugs. However, I know it is impossible to expect without any faults on it, the shell of the EA is the very important part. Hope this will be a nice EA after all corrections. SuperPower vehicle on the forex road with many controls and gadgets to play.
You're welcome. Glad to have you involved as a tester. Please report any problems you find.
I am trying to run some backtests in the new version...but I am stumbling...perhaps I need to understand a little more about how to combine the inputs...but here is what I did...
my setfile:
........
........
etc........
Write like that kayvan...wolfe does not need praise, but more analytical and precise questions..put in a more diplomatic way.
Not like you did and how your post sounded to us.... I can't get this to work the whole EA is not working...Please FIX IT
Just a suggestion...and excuse me for butting in.

Please excuse my numerous questions...I just want to make sure. Will this combination below give me a trail starting when the float reaches $6 bucks and exit me at $5 bucks, assuming it didn't lock in any more profit?
