NOTE BY STEVE. The only difference between Kopan's offering here and my version is that Kopan's is fully compliant with the absurd FIFO regulations. The trading code is identical.

SERIOUS WARNING
Most Forex traders lose all their money.
Using the robot posted here in trading Forex does not guarantee success.
Trading this robot could lead to serious financial loss.
Trading this robot without understanding its underlying trading strategies guarantees traders will lose their money.
This is not a set-and-forget ea; there is no such thing and anyone who tries to claim there is, is either stupid or lying. This ea requires frequent manual intervention.
At best, a trading robot is only 90% as good as the manual strategy it trades. At best. At worst, it can be much less effective. If the strategy is rubbish, so is the robot.
To trade this robot, you have to understand:

To: The SH test group community,
From the other side of the pond, I was feeling left out of all the superb work that has gone into creating the Slopey Peaky EA family and the Coordinated Group Test Environment.
This is my doodling attempt at converting the successful Slopey Peaky Bob (SPB) EA to an American version that is fully compliant with U.S. FIFO regulations.
The OOTB default settings are just that, default settings. With SPB there is a solid foundation to start from.
The U.S. version has not yet undergone any robust testing. Compromises have been made, therefore test results will be different from the original. Specifically it has a significantly different approach to "Trade Closure" than the original.
IMPORTANT:
Using SPB as a baseline, we need your help to assist in confirming the best input parameters for the U.S. FIFO compliant version.
Cheers! - Kopan

//+++<FIFO COMPROMISES>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++//
These are the compromises that have been made in order to adapt <Slopey Peaky Bob> to comply with U.S. FIFO REGULATIONS.
(1) If extern parameters <USE_FIFO_GRID_TRADING> is TRUE AND <GridSize> is set to > 0
Then this EA becomes a <multiple trade> per/currency EA BUT ---> all trades must be closed via a Symbol Basket Closure or Global Basket Closure.
(2): If extern parameters <USE_FIFO_GRID_TRADING> is FALSE OR <GridSize> is set to = 0
Then this becomes a <single trade> per currency EA and individual trade TP and SL functionality becomes available BUT ---> NO Grid Trading

UPDATE: June 23, 2018
Version 1.04 incorporates new functionality form SPB ver 1q
