V 2m is in post 1. Most of you can ignore this update.
I have added the candle reversal-based scalping method so that we have both methods to play with. This is the only trading decision that Desky makes independently of TDesk and I am not going to add any more.
Tim wrote to me last night saying that there is a bug in the incremental lot sizing, so I have tried to fix this. Get in touch again please Tim, if the fix does not work.
For those of you who fancy updating without re-downloading, here is what to do:
Do a search for, "extern string sep6a="================================================================";"
Copy this over the top of the existing code:
Code: Select all extern string sep6a="================================================================";
//This offers the opportunity to scalp a few pips in the opposite direction
//when an existing trade signal turns to FLAT, on a short timeframe. No idea if it will prove helpful.
extern string ctsc="---- Counter trend scalping ----";
extern bool UseCTS=true;
//This is the original CTS feature
extern bool UseIndependentCTS=false;
//This uses a TDesk FLAT signal when there are already open trades
extern bool UseTdeskFlatSignal=true;
extern ENUM_TIMEFRAMES CtsTimeFrame=PERIOD_M5;
//The number of candles that must have reversed.
extern int NoOfCandlesInReversal=2;
extern string CtsTradeComment="Cts scalp";
extern int CtsTakeProfitPips=20;
extern int CtsStopLossPips=10;
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//and TDesk has generated a FLAT signal.

return;//Already have an open scalp trade
double take = 0, stop = 0;
GetBasics(symbol);
//Scalping using the number of ltf candles going against the trade

{
