Hi Steve
It was v.J that opened & closed rapidly. Have replaced with v.K, tests continue.
As Paul Baluda said on a thread - no idea how you do what you do!! Run a forum, watch & update numerous threads, code so much, trade - & still sleep, married - amazing!!
Am still running a mod version of ShelleyJem v.g on one account & it took 500 pips yesterday in 3 sessions. It chooses trades for 5min session, 1hr before Asia, UK & US opens. Often manually CloseAll hours later, although yesterday hit one 270pip AdaptiveTP target. Very short session length stops reopens after a Close when run could be exhausted.
BJS should be better for auto when debugged. Brilliant stuff.

God help me.
I really thought I was in control. But NO. I KNOW nothing.

Who can take the lead here. What EA should be following. STEVE help us here.

Here we go again with SJ v.G. Took near 12 hours but heading to AdaptiveTP.
This is on same account as BJS EA which dived Fri. with many rapid open/closes.

It takes watching & only run it Tues-Thurs, then walk away with money in the bank.
Still watching BJS v.K. It has 2 pivot crosses but not fired yet.

That IS the problem with some of the bots. It was discussed several time in the EA forum.
Steve et al are trying to find that piece of code and fix it.
If you can help guys to find that faulty piece - great, if not - just be patient. Sooner or later the solution will come.
But for now just set Allow Additions to Basket = false. It should help.
Cheers

I Have BJS running on Cowboy Go Markets Aust & Cowboy IBFX Aust
Bot settings are identical except for Sunday Candle True in Cowboy IBFX. Cowboy Go Markets has correctly triggered SHORT trades on CHFJPY & EURJPY. Cowboy IBFX is showing those 2 as BUYS. Can anyone explain the problem???

re Opening & Closing.
This seemed to start when requested mods were made to ShelleyJem EA after v.H. Problems occurred with subsequent versions and certainly with BJS, but not with SJ vG/H which uses orig. 10.2 filters. Just wait for retrace & trend.
Realising most problems with Slope EAs occur Monday (Sunday for those on the tail end of the Forex world) & Friday, I tweeked so no trades before Lond.Open Day1 (session 2) nor after AsiaOpen Day5 (session 13).
SJ v.G, 500pip Wed, 410pip Thurs + 63 up today, not bad for a dumped EA ;-).

Don't mean to hijack BJS, but waiting for a number of coincidental pivot crosses can be frustrating as they don't often, but pairs in a group will retrace to some degree.
Mathematicians tend to look for controllable order, but market is not that.
Avoid major announcements, let market retrace then reTrend can be very rewarding.
Fri 0050 (GMT+3) ShelleyJem vG. took 7 trades.
maxDD was -76pip (not seen on snapshot) but at
Fri 1306 (GMT+3), hit +175pip target, again.
5th target hit in 3 days. Made up big time for 100 BJS 1min. losses last week.

SlopeValues & iExposure107 - brilliant aides.
Shut off now, we're off to Brunei next week.
