The New Beast!

[Pippopotamus]

Hi, Jose Luis ...There is once again a beggar at your doorstep. Me!!!!! If you would be so generous, will you 1) Add !xMeter-Evo EquityProtection module to Simple Beast. This would be a great asset in backtesting with respect to position sizing, and 2)Check MaxOpenPairsAllowed function. It is not keeping count correctly. I am using the edition you posted just above.

Hi Pippo,

you are right.

I have uploaded another version and I have seen that it shows correctly the number of pairs.

Please check, and please tell me always what it is not running well.

Two scripts that I find very useful, and reliable. The latter will clean up order based arrows, lines, etc., from your chart... Thanks to David Hanover... the former will delete all from Global Variables... From MQL4 Book...

So, here is a graph of Ribelo's Simple Beast(mods by Snoopier, and JLC)at work... It is set to trade 1 micro per 1300 USD acct balance, Gbp/Jpy, M30, Counter Trend only, 1-50 leverage. From Jan 3 09' to Jan 20 10' it turned $3000, into about $24000, then met the kind of excursion that is the bete noire of this style of trading...Fully anticipated,BTW. I had been hoping that EquityProtection utility would be the remedy to this INEVITABLE problem, saving 70% of gains. It did not work... Tests are the same with, or without EquityProtection activated... Should EquityProtection be expected to function during back tests???...... JLC???
