We could do both and optimise the option on backtesting

It would probably alter depending on strength/direction of trend on D1, W1 and MN charts

I have been out teaching as usual this afternoon. I am back now and am adding George's code. The ea will be up and running in time for market opening later.

Someone was asking about the code for the 50 fib for stack trades. I just realised it is this line:

Code: Select all

PendingPrice = (iLow(NULL, FbTradingTimeFrame, FbCandleShift) + iHigh(NULL, FbTradingTimeFrame, FbCandleShift) ) / 2;
Granted, this means an immediate market trade if the new candle opens below the 50 fib rather than a limit order, but I am not convinced this matters. We shall see.

:D

still not stacking on backtesting e.g. nice long drop cable 22-28 March - initial trade closes at bottom, presumably on 50% cull, but no sign of stoploss being brought to BE ?therefore no stack

Cheers Andy. You highlighted a lurvely bloop in the code - or at least led me to look for it.

Attempted fix in post 1.

Hi Steve
Sorry I have no time to look for the bloop(s) myself as at work but happy to run the occasional test and see what is isn't happening.
Regards
Andy
