The display on screen is displaying "lot size" correctly so StackLotSize must be correct as it stands but somehow the stack trade is being sent at the original size.

I will have a look but, as you know, I am at best a cut and paste coder.... :(

Is anyone else seeing this? If not then I will need to see if I have anything different with my settings that might cause it.

Cheers,
Dave.
I think I might have found the issue Steve - bearing in mind the bold above ;)

In LookForTradingOpportunities(), if you are using % risk rather than fixed lots, SendLots gets reset in the "if (SendLong)"/"if (SendShort)" (trade sending sections) after initially being set to StackTradeLot at the start of the function.

Cheers,
Dave.

I also had no trades since I changed IsGlobalPrimeOrECNCriminal from true to false. I'm using Bully Bully Bully Pepperstone.

cheers!
Bully Bully Pepperstone is ECN Joan? Well mine is anyway - Razor.

Cheers,
Dave.
First I thought it was, but now I'm not so sure :D it is a Razor demo, so maybe it is different from a live acc. I've set it to false and it has opened two orders one long EURGBP and one short USDCHF

It's easy to check Joan - on any chart hit F9. If the order box has the TP and SL "greyed out", so you can't enter a figure for a market order, then it is effectively ECN.

Cheers,
Dave.

or just set it to true, doesn't matter if your broker is NOT ecn, setting it to true just sends sl/tp after initial order. There is no reason to set it false, default input should be true, or just removed altogether, would solve one ongoing problem :)

Nice one. I will have the fix in place for Monday.

Bit of a latecomer to BASA I'm afraid, just started today but as you can see from the attachment, all trades taken finished in the green. To avoid confusion, only the 0.02 trades are BASA, ootb, on H1 (the 0.1 lot trades are my manual entries today).

I'll keep this one running for sure. :D

Thanks Steve, Bob, Shelley and all concerned.

I have not been responding to all the messages of support and thanks here, so I hope you will all accept this in lieu of individual responses.

Thanks for all the posts thanking Shelley and I for the stuff we are developing here. They only make it easier to carry on sharing and developing.

Boy oh boy, but are we having a ball or what?

Cheers guys

:D

I 100% agree with you Steve...thanks to everyone for your posts of support, it is greatly appreciated.
It just goes to show what a mutually respectful community of traders can achieve together

My Live Cowboy Go Markets account is up 3.89% this month (approx 14% gain since going live the last week of August) with an 86% win ratio. I also have an audnzd buy trade open currently sitting at +95 pips :D
Moving forward my goal is to achieve 5% gain per month...
