Probably double appearence of Trend-arrow, triggering 2 sets of pendings.

Wow. I am out for the day and so much stuff here.

Fantastic to see you guys helping each other out so much.

Imagine the space this has saved in the main thread, and the confusion that has been cleared up in the minds of people who knew their questions would not be welcome.

Thanks a lot folks.

Art,
Check if you have multiple pending orders activated. It was put in to try and follow how Bob trades this manually. There is multi pendings optons for both rad and range trades. They are both set to 5 positions each (in addition to the trades specified in number allowed trades) ootb.
If not then I have no idea

Firstly,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, to Steve and those responsible for creating HGB EA, and of course to Bob himself, whom I've been a long time closet admirer

I'd be grateful if someone would take the time to help me (or point me in the right direction) with a step by step guide to adding an updated version of an EA to a chart. I've looked around the forum but I'm unsure in what order things such as deleting the old EA, and adding the New EA, are done. And, what effect if any, the process has on open trades etc.

Thanks for your time.

Lee
If I want to update my EA I close down Empty4, replace the EA.mq4 and delete the EA.ex4.
After restart, on all charts the new updated EA runs with old settings though.
Hope that helps
I may be completely misguided here, but doesn't the ex4 contain your settings? It is only generated after an mql4 code (of any kind) is run for the first time on a certain terminal.
Pretty sure that isn`t the case... try this to prove your theory... save a setfile from your current EA settings... shut down, delete the mq4 & ex4 file, copy new EA to folder restart and check your EA settings... still the same...Magic? Dunno but this is the case, maybe someone else can enlighten us...

That is pretty majik

Maybe the ex4 just stores global variables or is nothing more than just compiled code. As for the EA finding and loading the correct setfile; well at least crapperquotes can do something properly

Hi,

I need to understand about wavy lines.

Steve has posted this image (I included some numbers to my questions):

wavy_buffers.JPG

In your booklet Bob shows:

HGI Bob1.JPG

HGI Bob3.JPG

HGI Bob2.JPG

HGI Bob4.JPG

So, I don´t understand why Steve say for example at point 2 in your image "on TOP: we are exiting into downtrend". At this point was wavy lines with big red arrow. For me it´s a contradiction with the Bob statements in your booklet.

Someone can explain me please?

With regards,

Maudur
