Great, that gets back some of the losses from the last couple of days ;)

I have 3 trades still open (v1t) at a floating + 468 pips :D

Hi RJo - just a point - In Australia my Saturday begins one hour after the Friday NY open. Would it be relevant to add WorkSaturday ? I confess I am not using The 8 at the moment, just keeping an eye on it.
Thanks,

@RJo - so: relating to post #1 - is it "v1v" or already "v1x" ? May a typo only ... ? :?

Do you think it would be possible to add a half-close option to break even?

Crap. You asked me in the old thread. Then I claimed apples versus oranges when prosper1 inquired regarding same. Like an old arrest warrant in a far away state, I was hoping this issue would simply go away. :|

But really, I'm reading up on the OrderLots() command and it looks doable. Look for it in v1z.
Sorry, I didn't mean to hit a nerve, but I do thank you for pondering the suggestion.

Thanks, RJo, for the additional feature. Your efforts are appreciated.

v1z (default settings, which means WorkSunday (GMT for me) is on and UsePinBarFilter is off) entered USDCAD buy, GBPUSD sell, AUDUSD sell, AUDCAD sell, and NZDUSD sell. All entries occurred on my Sunday bar (based on my Friday's signal bars--I have no Saturday). If I get burned, I will promptly be turning WorkSunday off.

Yes...it will be interesting to see how well the trades work with the pinbar filter off.
