Hi Gertje.

I see all your profit is floating? No HGB closures yet?

I had some closures, mostly from the error-infected trades on monday/ tuesday. Still there are some of these in the pile, hence the amount of trades.

The 'real' trades are still open, I use no SL or TP so HGB has to close them with opposite signals.
Curious to what will happen tonight.

Given that the new version fixes bugs, only an idiot with a financial death with continues with an old buggy version.

I am not going to dignify your spectacularly daft question with an answer. I will let you work it out for yourself. If you really don't know how my ea's work yet....................................

bazze - I think what Steve means is ... "yes".

I am blown away by HGB's performance today. 10% of starting balance already locked in and a further 12.5% or so in floating green pips.

The reason I am not in a spectacularly good mood tonight is the number of hours I have struggled with some coding logic today. My serious advice to everyone here is not to ask me any daft questions because the tazer is loaded and I am longing to use it.

I promised Bob yesterday that I would code a couple of scripts to enable him to easily send his multiple-trade pendings at every 20 level, with a tp of 30 so there are never more than two trades open at once. "It will take me 10 minutes." said I.

Hah. 6 hours later I finally got the blasted code to recognise when the next price floor/ceiling is the x.10 and miss it out to go to the x.20. I could not devise the simple algorithm that one of you brainboxes will immediately suggest because I am a thickie.

Coders, have a giggle at the way I found to solve the problem.

I have added these functions to HGB - you will see the new inputs in the Trend and Rad input sections. I am posting V 1g here for those of you up to speed with what has been going on. The code may have bugs and I do not want to release it in post 1 until we see how it works.

Also, I am too tired to update the user guide. For now, work out what the inputs mean for yourselves. HGB will only send the pending trades when it attempts to send the initial Trend or Rad trade. Use the scripts if you want to add to an existing position. Just make sure they have the correct magic number and trade comment if you want HGB to recognise them.

Have still more fun.

Hehe. I have so many trades open that my margin percent is down to 173% but my position at c. +600. Coud I be the first person in history to get a margin call with an open position more that 10% in the green?

IMO, this would simply constitute the greatest "problem" ever!!!!

I forgot to add
#property show_inputs

to the scripts.

Redownload them if you downloaded before the time at the top of this post.

This is ridiculous. I would be up 12% if I closed out now.
