kayvan...one more thing..

Do you realize that you with others here are one of the founders of this EA?

That alone is quite a responsibility and please be careful when speaking to a global audience...you are representing one of the soon-to-be great EA/Utilities...to be used by many...this is an archived thread in history and people will be reading this for years to come...

ES

P.S. I am doing my best to keep the peace here and it is incredible that all of us have acted so human-like and at the same time have remained gentlemen...this is an incredible positive display of how threads can go....Thank you everybody...I have and am enjoying this method...and I hope you are too! understand that things can escalate out of control and we must keep the work going and continue to be analytical in nature and leave emotions behind.

Sorry kayvan, you are right.

Have you run the back tester before? If not, that's another thing for you to learn.
Back tests are not very reliable anyway.

wolfe,

Thank you for the chrystal clear answer...I veered to the upside as I want a minimum of 5 bucks....

Folks another point when you get into higher progressions...you will notice the incremental jumps in float become larger...so this is not an exact science...also it takes time to close three or four orders automatically, sometimes more that one tick.

P.S. I hope I am answering a lot of questions by example...remember there are not any dumb questions...also it helps wolfe to check and find bugs...

yep i have to agree that the back tests are next to useless but they are ok for setups i run all my test from 01/01/1999 to the current date. I am running the same test as i did before but with the figures above.

Cheers

I suppose visual backtesting with a random entry technique may be helpful to make comparisons with...

but in general I agree...

Here is how Close_All_Max works:
Basically this code says this:
if Close_All_Max is true and your open orders total equals your Max_Trades total, a close all will be performed.

Congratulations ES, you have helped me find the first bug! The bug is this- if you have Use_Trailing_Stop set to true, the Close_All_Max will not work. This is easy to fix. Thanks ES.

WOW!

v1_6 has been posted less than 24hrs, and it has already been downloaded 65 times! Kinda scary. I hope it functions when the market opens. Kinda nervous.

Please advise when we are to go to the opening post and re-download...wolfe we have 11 more bugs to go!!!!

This EA is going to be perfect!

wolfe...wait until the other forums catch wind of this!....you aint seen nothin' yet...

and with all the open architecture...dealers cannot filter all the combinations!

any way , i am sorry wolfe, if i told ,any nonsense statements . ES is right . that`s because of my bad English language .

now i don`t have any problem with testers. thus as you told , really they are not relay able .

ok let me test it more

No worries kayvan,

If I tried to communicate with you in your native language, I'm sure I would offend you 10 ways to Sunday! (with out meaning to do so)

Let us hope for a good week of testing, and bug fixing.
