I've tried setting large SL & TP but still the same thing , I would appreciate any help with v1k or can someone send me one of the earlier EAs before the j & k changes.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. This also happened to me in many occassions. Not only the trades closed out after a few seconds, I also notice the slove and woh are not correctly read with some pairs. But, again, I am a dummy so I might not know what I am talking about infront of the gurus. Cheers :)

If you're running Shelley's on multiple charts, then make sure you have different magic number in each chart; solved it for me or could have been the updated 1k version.
this week I'm syncing Shalley's basket send to coincide with medium & high impact news; upnext "UBS Consumption Indicator" http://www.myfxbook.com/forex-economic-calendar

Thanks. I think it's just the v1k version because I've tried the last 2 versions without these issues. But, what surprises me is, I see 9-10 pairs that are supposed to be triggered to be opened by the EA, but the EA chose to open only 3 pairs. All this being confirmed by the TMA indicator of either > .8 or < -.8.

Thanks for responding... I noticed that my Empty4 platform is now a Build 427, I'm wondering if this together with upgrading the S EA has anything to do with it?

Previous versions of S and the Build 409 seemed to work really good.

Are you sure it's version k? I am using version i at the moment and having 6 trades open as well. What build is your Empty4?

I am so sure, I cannot be surer !

I downloaded version k this morning, checked it and decided to give it a try, even after reading your post. I know it is the right version because it has "Version 1k" in the source and it shows the latest changes of Steve on screen (like "slope=Sell and hold. : Woh = Sell"),
My version of Empty4 is build 416.
At the moment it is at - 60 pips. (-600 points showing on screen).
Open trades are : chfjpy,eurjpy,eurusd,gbpjpy,gbpusd,usdchf.

Hi Slowpoke,
Just to let you know I'm running build 427 and shelley version k seems to work O.K. so far.
The flickering screen in waiting mode is disappeared now. and it opened 6 trades this morning.

In the list of currencies to trade Shelley there are among others chfjpy and eurjpy. Both got an entry this morning. But actually, they are clones of each other at the moment because the Swiss Bank has locked the CHF to the EUR. So, in my opinion, it's no use to run both of them. One is enough. It is a 100 % correlation.

Hey slowpoke,

Same here...I upgraded to build 427 and running v1k and the correct 6 trades opened but immediately closed.

Looking into it a bit further now!
