You start by setting the begin timeframe you want to watch and then select the end timeframe you want to end with. The beginning timeframe must be less than or equal to the ending timeframe. 9x9 will do the rest and give you a total slope of the slope.

monty,

No, you aren't missing a thing and found a bug ..

For the do it yourselfers, on line 575 and 576 change the "> 1" to "> 0"

Update in post 1 version 2.3.

   if(UseBigPictureClose)
   {
      if(CountOrders(OP_BUY,Magic)> 0 && CSS_BigPicture < BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseSellOrders(Magic);else CloseBuyOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Close
      if(CountOrders(OP_SELL,Magic)> 0 && CSS_BigPicture > -BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseBuyOrders(Magic);else CloseSellOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Close
   }

Their appears to be a problem with sequence of events as far as the "UseBigPictureClose" is concerned when using BigPictureClose:

I left strength out to simplify & test

OLD
line 575-if(CountOrders(OP_BUY,Magic) <0 && CSS_BigPicture > BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseSellOrders(Magic);else CloseBuyOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Close

line 576- if(CountOrders(OP_SELL,Magic) > 0 && CSS_BigPicture < -BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseBuyOrders(Magic);else CloseSellOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Closeis reversed.

unless I'm mistaken,
line 575- if(CountOrders(OP_SELL,Magic) < 0 should be ) >0.
line 576- if(CountOrders(OP_SELL,Magic) > 0 should be ) <0. Get them to act like a TP.

New with changes but a different problem
line 575-if(CountOrders(OP_BUY,Magic)>0 && CSS_BigPicture > BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseSellOrders(Magic);else CloseBuyOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Close

line 576- if(CountOrders(OP_SELL,Magic)< 0 && CSS_BigPicture < -BigPictureClose) if(ReverseSystem)CloseBuyOrders(Magic);else CloseSellOrders(Magic); // Big Picture Closeis reversed.



as you can see the first three trades went as planed, the following ?????

Still looking

I wasn’t referring to the first criteria (CountOrders(OP_BUY,Magic)> 0 I was refering to the second CSS_BigPicture < BigPictureClose). I corrected my inaccurate example. I tried the new v2.3 but couldn’t even get close to winning. So I’m fishing for an angle.
I see what's happening. Looks like we need some more of your wizard coding.
BigPictureOpen = 10 (bpo)
BigPictureClose = 20 (bpc)
NA/StrengthTotalOpen = 200
The first trade kicked in at 10 and out at 20, but the bpo was more then 10 so it fired another buy trade then it was above bpc so it sold then rinse & repeat.…..etc …etc. We basically lost the spread.
I’ll let you know what’s going on. I'm running lower TFs but not using M1-MN1

So, my thoughts are that the Big Picture is to sensitive by using the lower timeframes. I'm going to desensitize the Big Picture by changing the BeginBigPictureTF to M15. Then maybe raise the StrengthTotalOpen if that doesn't help enough.
