Tell you what guys, I would not like to be a noob approaching this monster for the first time - and my response to some of the questions they want to ask helps me but probably does bugger-all for them.

I spend far less time testing than I do coding. There are guys here who have tested this beast far more than I have. Can one of you come up with a time frame and set file that I can put into post 1 and say to the noobs, "Try this to get started guys"?

Steve last two days been testing Stochy Bob and like SSB when its rolling its brilliant but when it gets out of sync with PA its not so glamorous.

An idea.....................If we combined the two SSB and Stochy Bob we could select the best times to trade the secret bob signals, would be much more effectively imo. Others here and yourself may have better ideas how than I, but based on my studies of these two EA's and Bob original work here's an idea to look at. It is just one approach of many but gets the point across of these two good EAs coming together to form something really special.

Normal SSB set-up Trend Trade only w/ or w/out 240MA filter
Enter with: secret bob signal
and
Stochy entry entry level hit within (X) candles of secret bob signal or at arbitrary level sloped towards trade, Stoch TF is next TF up or higher from trading TF, stoch setting 2-1-1. (Probably a programing preference)

Exit normal SSB approaches or a stoch level or cross

There is potential to better nail the CT trades too with the stoch filter but I'd rather leave that for testing rather than speculate.

Even more exciting is to be able to have two fast Stoch upper TF filters, this is really closely mirroring what Bob is actually doing in his trading, and if you put this on a chart and visual backtest you see that a lot of trading would cease in the retraces or ranging PA that is causing current DD burden. Imagine SSB rumbling along with small DD!

I can imagine how busy you are Steve so this is an offer of an idea nothing more. This family of EA's is worth the effort, and well done on this so far.

Here's an example chart of above
