This is to remind you folks to redownload FXT-SPB-3 before the markets open later.
The inputs CloseMarketTradesOnOppositeColour and DeletePendingTradesOnOppositeColour have been renamed to CloseMarketTradesOnOppositeSignal and DeletePendingTradesOnOppositeSignal to ensure FXTestify compatibility.
This is an easy DIY. Untick "Match whole word only" and do a global search and replace of:

I was able to make it work on a micro account (i.e EURUSDmicro) by changing this:
string AddChar = StringSubstr(Symbol(),6,4);
to
string AddChar = StringSubstr(Symbol(),6,5);
Since I don't have a 10K USD to trade 0.01 lot, I can use $100 to trade 0.01 lot on a micro account.
string AddChar = StringSubstr(Symbol(),6,4);
to
string AddChar = StringSubstr(Symbol(),6,5);

I'm starting to understand why Tomele left out EURNZD and GBPNZD..... 
Combined 5.000 pips in the red...
Anyone testing the ADR-based grid?

Hi Gertje,

I can confirm that. Eurnzd and GbpNzd my two worst performing pairs as well. 1600 pips in the red between the two.Gertje wrote:I'm starting to understand why Tomele left out EURNZD and GBPNZD.....

Interestingly I am finding the complete opposite. I think that my settings are similar to yours Leon, OOTB, 28 pairs + swaps only. Started 23rd Jan initially went +$400 then -$400 then to where it is now with +$20 swap profit.Wavegarrick » 14 Feb 2019 10:40 wrote:Hi Gertje,

In the beginning it makes a huge difference when the account started in my opinion.
My FXT-SPB-3 demo went to +10.000 pips in a short time, now 3 pairs closed and the floating pip count is around +7.500 including the -5.000 from the 2 NZD pairs.
Triggered by Tomele's history, my fresh demo with huge growth in a short time and some healthy greed, I started trading the same setup on a live account a few weeks later, where the floating pipcount hardly ever became positive till now.
Go figure.

This is the current situation. It shows 3 less trades as I inadvertently closed 3 trades while fiddling with other tests that I am running
