I have added my usual weekly roundup at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 4&start=10

For those of you experimenting with CSS, Paul has issued an update to his Currency Slope Strength indi - I have posted it in post 1.

He has also updated the libCSS code that we use to avoid iCustom calls to the indi. I have added this to BASA - update in post 1. I have not changed the version number. You do not need the update if you are not experimenting with CSS here.

I currently have BASA on 2 separate Live accounts - 1 is Global Prime, the other is Cowboy Go Markets, (controlled test using small lot sizes & limiting pairs) using ATR settings for stop loss.

BASA took a trade on both accounts last night, GBPUSD (Cowboy Go Markets) & GBPAUD (GlobalPrime), but BASA didn't set the SL for either trade.
The strange thing was all 3 DEMO GP accounts I have running, also took the GBPAUD trades and BASA did set the SL on those trades.

I have looked in the journal for both live accounts and there doesn't appear to be any errors reported.

Also I have a question (sorry if it's a dumb one ) about the ATR stop loss and the StopLossDivisor function for stacking trades...
the GbpAud trade taken on demo last night, has also taken a stack trade.

Reading BASA's screen comments relating to the ATR sl it indicates the BUY SL is approx 130pips, the SL for the stack trade is also approx 130 pips...so not sure if the StopLossDivisor function has worked properly (I have it at default of 2) or does the screen comments for ATR already take into account the StopLossDivisor? ie, should the SL be around 65pips?

Don't know and cannot access the source code as my coding machine is tied up at the moment.

Besides, how am I supposed to read white text when you have white candles? The text is not for your benefit. It is for mine when somebody posts an 'it dunt wurk' post but at least thinks to post a pic. Not much use if the white text is obscured by a white candle or 15.

There is plenty of code to replace missing sl's so no idea what the problem was. I will look into this in case there is a bug.

When my bloody coding machine frees itself up.

Just so you two don't think you are all alone here talking to yourselves, I am running BASA in demo on broker Institutional Liquidity in the US. BASA took two trades today. Buy GU and Buy EURCAD. It set the SL and TP on both trades without any error messages.

Thanks, but it is ok.

We love silent lurkers. If someone has nothing to say, we would prefer he/she/it refrained from saying it. So, we are perfectly happy to discuss this as a couple.

There is a possible bloop in the sl checking function - I discovered one in the tp checking function that I have not yet posted about. Sometime about the middle of the week, my coding machine will free itself up from what it is doing now and I will look into it.

Sorry if my earlier responses were grumpy. That is because it is late at night here and I am grumpy. My signature tells no lies.

Yeah, there's a few of us. I am watching but cannot run it on my PC due to ADSL problems interfering with connectivity. OK for manual but leads to "Cannot allocate Mem." errors with ALL EA's, so once this seems sorted out out I will place on VPS where I don't get the mem alloc errors and see how it all goes. Only have 650 M of RAM on an Amazon VPS so cannot run everything I would like to.

How pretty is this?
