How can I run the Beast on a live account, where
a) I use an EA that enters trades with SL- and BE-Settings independent of the Beast
b) I do some manual trading
I know the manual says: "If you trade TB live on an account, it is best not to trade another system on the same pairs. TB regards any open trade as its own." I just do not feel like opening 3 live accounts, if there is a way.
Thanks for your help.

Ye Gods Alive, Dead, And All Points In Between.

For crying out loud, what is wrong with people here tonight. Amongst a number of really moronic posts here, this one is an absolute corker.

Which bit of, "TB regards any open trade as its own." do you not understand?

Ok, so I did my best to keep this simple, but appear to have made the mistake of allowing a couple of two-syllable words slip through. Sorry about that.

Only a cretin trades TB on anything other than its own dedicated account. If you are stupid enough to ignore this warning, then prepare for your first (if indeed it is your first) margin call. It is only days away.

So, treat TB as you would toxic waste until you understand just how dangerous it can be. Either that or take up some sort of financial endeavour with less chance of zeroing your finances - throwing it at international drug dealers and asking them to give it back with interest, for example.

On reflection, that would probably threaten your life, but you will feel a tad suicidal should you mistreat TB; it will mistreat you right back.

Only a moron mixes EA's on the same live account.

Are you really stupid enough to ignore this warning?

Steve, though English is only my fourth language, I really, really got it. Thanks for your patience.

Dear Mike,
Steve is a music (read piano) teacher by profession and as you know some scientists believe that music is literally 'Universal Language'. So his explanation to you was 'musical' to say the least. I am glad he didn't have to explain it to you a second time.
Whenever he uses this 'universal' language the other person understands it whether English is his/her 1st. language or n th.

Post subject:  Help on MPTM

Hi Steve,
I have been following your works and am of utmost appreciation for you for your contribution and sharing which has helped new traders like me a lot. Your Trade Manager is a big hit with me and many of my friends to whom I suggested. In fact it is your MPTM which allows for me to sleep without worry at night as I know that MPTM will ensure that come what so ever, it will control my trades and not wake up to some big surprises or an account crash. Once again Thank you very much for giving it to us as an open code. I have tweeked it a little to suit my needs again with help of your guide on modifying the script. Now I need a help from you or from some coding expert in this forum to give me a code (especially to include in my trade manager). In the skirt protection, when the account goes low, it closes the trading order. Can you please give me a code by which when a set condition is met like say when the account has reached a certain high or a certain low it closes all the orders AND CLOSES THE TERMINAL TOO. Please help.
-Babul
