Hi guys,
I did not understand a thing about:

""ApplyFullHedgeOnOppositeSignal is the input that enables/disables this feature.""

The full hedge trade is made only if this is set to true (default=false) ???

or is made always and in this case:

""ApplyFullHedgeOnOppositeSignal is the input that enables/disables this feature.""

will force the full hedge trade when HGI recommend working ?

Thanks in advance

I dont understand your question even if you will PM it to me again. But dont worry at all. At the moment this input never gets evaluated.

Good spot Thomas. It was a part of my original full hedging idea that either failed or was not implemented. It would have been something along the lines of: we have three 0.01 buys open and see a sell signal, so open a 0.03 sell and await the next signal to decide which side of the hedge to close. I moved on from there quickly but forgot to remove the input.

It can safely be ignored for now and removed from future releases.

I am going to release a new version tomorrow. I have introduced a logical fault with my latest modifications.

But also found another.

I will remove this input as well as the explanation in the text at this occasion.

Thomas, I really appreciate all your (and Steve's) hard work. I have been running this EA for two weeks on UJ, UCHF, GJ and EU. I think my lot sizing is too high but to date it is 39% up and sitting with a 21% DD. My lot size is 0.1 on a $8.5k demo. I will halve it going forward and see if this can keep the DD down to the 10% ballpark

Much appreciation
