In fact the HardTP is already a change to the strat. The reason it was implemented was because it was very easy to do. Whereas adding an exit strat based on another indication, even though not difficult to do, would take a little more effort.
If I did add a reversal strat it would be done in the simplest fashion. I would make a function that at each tick the EA would check what is called a GLOBAL VARIABLE. If the GLOBAL VARIABLE was say 1 then I would have the EA CLOSE THE OPEN TRADE. If the GLOBAL VARIABLE is 0 then do nothing. SO if any coders want to tackle, go for it, all you need to do is set some GLOBAL VARIABLE to 1 or 0 . For example the GLOBAL VARIABLE cold be called Symbol+"_ExitStratOnTP". Then in the Coin Flip EA I would just look for that VARIABLE to see if it is set to 1 or 0 and voala !!! The exit strat could then be ANYTHING, in any fashion, in any way done. The Coin Flip EA would not care, all it would look for is a 1 or 0 on that GLOBAL VARIABLE
BTW GLOBAL VARIABLES are set in a file and remain there for 30 days if you do nothing with them. (I think that's the number, don't remember, I know it is alot of days LOL) . These GLOBAL VARIABLES are available to any EA, script, or other indicator for reading. Handy stuff for when you turn off your Empty4 or for that matter your machine... you can essentially make your EA remember everything a CHART had or was doing before your computer got turned off.
Guys: I type alot of stuff,,, hope it helps instead of confusing. If confusing let me know and I will tone it down.
