What I coded was a misunderstanding of the idea, so the correction is in post 1. At least it should be. I have had a busy day, am tired, and made the correction under The Affluence. It might need checking in the sober light of tomorrow.

Note to fledgling coders: despite being a non-coder, Shelley was able to spot my error because of the comment that showed what I had coded. Ok, so she clearly has a brain the size of Jupiter, but the comment merely made it easier for her to spot the error. So, comment everything you do. I am not the greatest commenter in the world, but am getting better. I once read some advice from a pro programmer who said that his comments were always longer than his code. I am gradually coming to understand why.

If you look at code produced by the likes of squalou, the comments are both extensive and comprehensive. So yep; comment everything.

Nice one Shelley.

On the other hand, my 16 h1 trades at $45 have increased to 18 floating trades at over $80 profit. it's been a while since i've had a demo acct show roughly 800 pips profit in 1 day. will have to wait to see how it handles the closures tho.

Very nice...what are you using as your exit strategy?

...I'll probably just use mptm with really loose break evens and jumps depending how strong the signals are.

Looks like there is a TMH setting up for audusd, current and previous candle's highs are within 2 pips of each other, so if the current candle's high remains within the 2 pips and then continues up and breaks the high, we should be looking at a buy trade...

These trades seem to be fairly rare, so we will see what happens

In addition to ignoring the TMHL commented trades for now, I have also been taking a few manual trades to help me learn and understand the strategy better, so the stats are getting a bit messy...sorry
