I do not reply to individual posts thanking me for my efforts only because this would take such a lot of time. I do appreciate the sentiments and they only make it easier for me to keep on churning out the code, so thanks folks. :clap:

Hey Steve,
love the EA and your forum. :clap: I do like the idea of the pending RAD order. Probably you already had the same thoughts on the following suggestions: When I read Bob manual he was talking about to trade the RADs as break outs. So wouldn´t it be a good idea to set the first pending order one tick above or below the high / low of the previous candle? It shouldn´t be too close to the market, because RAD arrows appear during a retrace of the market.
By the way HGB grabbed about 700 pips on friday on 4h demo. Never accomplished that in my noobish carreer so far :party:
So thank you for all your work.

That is one of those we-have-to-see thingies. Who knows what will emerge in the coming days?

My suggestion is not to bother and let this unbelievably sophisticated ea trading this unbelievably simple trading system do its thingy for you. I added ATR because it was easy and someone wanted it, not because I think it adds any value. I don't. There are people who insist on taking something simple that a guy is trading manually and live and making profits - or should that be huge profits, and add 'improvements'. Never did understand this.

Up to you, obviously.
