Running 1b live and I can see some legs. Working on transferring the set over to the current version. I'd feel better if it had some scoobs/kiwi margin checks.

Strange. I just had it open orders on 4 different pairs - correctly following signals, but then instantly closed out 3/4. Leaving only my eurusd running. I have Cowboy IBFX and had ECN set to true. Will set it to false to see if this occurs again. Edit: Not sure what else it could be. I don't have any tp/sl set and the slope values are all correctly displaying. History is all correct and everything is 100%. It opened correctly, but then instantly closed 3 out of the 4 pairs. I will run it longer to see if it happens again, of course. |

Steve put in code to automatically detect Cowboy IBFX. Whatever you select, ECN will always default to true for Cowboy IBFX. I'm still running 1b and I currently have four pairs open that are up 35 pips. |

Could be your exit settings. I am using close on FB htf and close on htf slope ranging. |

Perhaps, I went ahead and attached my FS setting. I know you use using 1b so I think some of the settings are changed. It could be I am just missing something. |

The only thing that I can see is that your slope htf close levels might have been too close to the buy/sell levels. slo=----Slope inputs---- HtfTimeFrame=1440 HtfBuyLevel=0.60000000 HtfBuyCloseLevel=0.58000000 HtfBuyHoldLevel=0.80000000 HtfSellLevel=-0.60000000 HtfSellCloseLevel=-0.58000000 |

Yup, that was my first goto point and all slopes were a good distance away from the close parameters. |

Good point. I will add them. In the meantime, and for the few other people here who actually understand what is going on, how are we doing? The reason I ask is, I have severe doubts about waiting for a Slope thingy to trigger a trade closure. This is based on the whole thrust of Slope, which I describe in post 1. Therefore, waiting for Slope to trigger a closure means the market has so far against the trade that it could turn from a magnificent winner into a loser. Pre the latest mods last week, my demo made 4% without taking any real risk. Real risk would have quintupled the account.  Today, waiting for Slope to trigger a closure, the open trades were at one point another +4%. Normal opposite direction FB's would have closed them and locked in the profit. Because I am awaiting a Slope-triggered closure, most of this profit has disappeared. This is not to say that said profit will not reappear tomorrow and extend, and that this time tomorrow I will be reporting +10% Frankly, I doubt it. My experience of Forex is this: when profit is going, take it, as it will not be there in a few minutes time. Anybody else has a similar experience?  |

In fact, I decided to do so whilst thinking about it. V 1d in post 1 has the filters. |
