Steve, this may seem like a crazy question but, alas... Is there a "simple" way such that I could force the EA to manage trades that I take manually in addition to it's own? I only ask because, at the conclusion of my most recent 4H candle, there were some beautiful RRTs that barely missed the qualifications for the bot to trigger the trades... So, naturally, I have taken these trades on my own. It would be nice if the EA could just apply the "management" portion of it's work for such situations... If not, no worries as there are other means to skin a cat, but I thought I'd ask. I know you did something similar with a 10.4 management script. Thanks in advance for any tips you might offer up. Again, nice work with this one!

I am trading it on my Cowboy Cowboy IBFX play-money account - started today, so just one trade open at the mo.

Set StopTrading to true, then make sure that BASA has the same magic number as your open trades - manually sent trades have a magic of 0, then set your management inputs.

BASA was drawing a stop loss line at the sl and this was causing problems with the JS function if PipsHiddenFromCriminal = 0.

The spread calculation routine is a recent one and I noticed a couple of bloops that was derailing the recalculation that takes place every 500 ticks.

Fixed both of these thingies in 1e.

Most of the problems have stemmed from LUC inviting his buddies around for a coffee, following changes I made to my shell code that looked good when I coded them. We are working our way through them and this helps users of both my shell and future ea's that I code.

AUDCAD - anyone who wasn't stopped out earlier in the week with the SL glitch, should now have their JS at +250 pips

CADCHF - 'Main' Sell trade taken (entry was correct), price moved to +51 pips but a spike took the trade out at BE +2

EURCAD - Trade was taken out at BE+2 with a spike, but pretty choppy price action...there may be a chance to get back in later today if there's enough of a pullback during the Asian session

eurcad.gh4_130801.png

GBPAUD - Trade is still open, currently sitting at +138 pips with JS moved to +50
