But I've noticed the EA (& the indis it drew its code from) calculate the WOH using the current TF:

double wo = iMA(symbol,PERIOD_W1,1,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_OPEN,0);
double ma = iMA(symbol,0,1,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0);

So switching TFs WILL muck up the EA's calculations.

Shouldn't the ma calculation use H4, or D1, or one of the xxxTimeFrame inputs?

Yes , I already inform Steve of that

Did I do anything about it? Sounds like a daft question possibly, but I do have the occasional project happening here and there to divert my attention. Reading your post, I have no idea what you are talking about.

3) D1/H4 trades do not have a set TP -> if Slope > 0.8 or <.8 yes. BE and Jumping SL are forced

2) WPC trades should be at crossing -> it is but yes it could be only with 1 pip. May be a delta pips parameter should be great

4) So far in last 5-6 trading days with this EA no BB trades. -> so am I. I will do backtest to see why

1) The SL on this EA is at next S/R level. -> You're right. I have do this in my own version. But SL/TP for trend are so far on weekly / monthly R/S 1 or R/S 2 depending volatility, that's a delta pips parameter would be inoperant. Your account will be blow out before That's the big thing to resolve for NB 10.2 EA I think. Backtest prove that.
