//Balanced pair trade filter. Only apply to pre-recovery trades.
if (OpenTrades + 1 < Start_Recovery_at_trades || !UseRecovery)
{
if (UseZeljko && !BalancedPair(OP_BUY) ) SendLong = false;
}//if (OpenTrades + 1 < Start_Recovery_at_trades)

//User choice of trade direction
if (!TradeLong) {SendLong = false;}

I found the above 2 if always negate the SendLong and SendShort, So no order opened.

Also need your set file for test.

Sorry to offend you. I got the message and My initial wish is to HELP test the EA, not to spend time to analysis th code.
That's OK, I will give it up.

Hi Steve,

I have just downloaded this EA to test as it is similar to a strategy im currently testing. However it close / open trades continuacly without it reaching the TP or SL. Please see attached test chart.

Hi Wapen,

I see the same issue when I attempt to run some basic back test. Does anyone have an earlier (working) copy of the EA, that I could download to diff with the current version? It might allow me to figure out what changed. It may help to ameliorate the anomaly.

Best Regards,

Hello,

I have the same problem backtesting it on other pairs, it was okay on aud/usd. What could that be :?:

Latest update in post 1. That ucad trade did not close on the appearance of an opposite direction arrow; there was one of my famous copy/paste errors in the code.

Those of you experiencing the strange thingies described earlier might find the solution at
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 5733#p5733 This is a script you should run every time you install a new platform and should now run anyway on your existing ones. It seems that an EA attempting to send a trade at the moment the platform is updating its chart history can result in an endless loop of trade-sends. Well, endless until the account blows; neat little trick by those cretins at Empty4 headquarters.

:D
