That's awesome, many thanks for that script

Really clever way of handling it with arrays, I'm jealous it didn't even crossed my mind

Question for everyone having success with FB so far:

Are you experimenting with "every tick" mode or are you using the default (off)?

Do you think the difference would be significant?

Has everyone else also experienced a huge DD on FB demos over the past couple of days or is it just me? Just wondering if it's the market or FB is not functioning correctly? I do have FB running on some very odd pairs so that might be what's causing the DD.

I took a huge GJ hit today, wiping out about two thirds of my profit for the previous month. So far, still ahead by a decent amount but nothing like as much as this time yesterday. It could get worse as well but we shall see. Hey ho.

By comparison, my H1 demo is riding out the storm nicely.

That could be a good question to Steve.

Today I saw it more clearly: the M15 isn't a good choice ... at least for me: the DD's are now in my accounts 20-30% - using 1k + 0.01 lot.
Time to switch to the H1 ? I try now even H4.

Or are here any other thoughts, how we could for this bot avoid (in some extend) these dangerous situations like now ? Which proposals for better settings might make it more successful ?

Last I looked all three of my demos were about to bust.

Same here, the H1's got hit, but not too bad, the M15 demos all tanked really hard down to 40%+ DD

H1 around 10% DD, no closure today (thursday).
See what NFP brings tomorrow ....

Thanks to the forced update to Empty4 Build 711. MPTM and FB will not compile, I opened them in the editor and hit compile and I get all sorts of errors. With that being said all my demos are no longer working...

All three of my brokers have went to this version:
FXCM
Tallinex
FinFx

I too am on Build 711 (GP). For me though FB compile's fine as does MPTM with only some warnings.

EDIT:
I have noticed that if I try to unload MPTM (or any EA?) without turning off Autotrading Empty4 hangs and I have to force quit.
