Because it's called Weekly Slopey Peaky Bob, I imagined that weekly superslope was a factor, but it looks like I made that up
Yes, that is right. I have to add, however, that the EA filters the trade direction based on the
last weeks close.
To be more precise, if your
weeklyTimeFrame candle (default H1) is below last weeks close, the EA will trade short. If it's above, the EA will trade long.
More or less. I can read the code, know where to find stuff in it and make small adjustments. But overall, I am just reading all posts carefully.

This EA is based on Steve's SPB, but this variation seems to be the product of other members, and I don't believe there was ever a manual written for it.
There is no specific manual about this EA, but it is quiet similiar to SPB which already has a sufficient documentation, imo. The only addition is the weekly trade filter (logic can be found
here) and the trailing basket that is already described in the
SPB manual. But all this stands also in the first post of this thread.
