Hi Boinvest,
Great work going on with the HGB EAs and I spent a couple of hours playing with the official version and your variant, to see if I could understand how they would perform over long periods of time. To keep it simple I turned off most trading methods except trend-trading.
I tried to keep the settings for both EAs as close as possible.
This is not a comparison between the two EAs I'm posting in case the developers find anything useful from the tests I did.
I have to get back to working on my own EA's so I'll just present a couple of screen shots.
Running the official HGB I found buy-stops when there was a big red arrow pointing down on the corresponding chart (GBPUSD H4). When I did a similar run for boHGI I found sell-stops a few bars after the big red arrow.
I was able to run HGB with 5 months of crappytester history but I was not able to run boHGB for longer because of different kinds of errors (A: volume mismatch; B: lot size error 131)
Official HGB:

BoHGB for the same period:
BoHGB-2t-for-sell-stops-and-profits-18Dec2014.png
I tried to work around these errors by running on different brokers; I gave up with every-tick mode because of the first error and I tried different time-frames but decided to call it a day
and here is an extract from the log about volume issues:

Anyway I hope this information is useful to the developers.
