Hello Mer, eventually I explained that one poorly. So the Bug was related to having orders open although "max box size is reached" and SetMaxBoxSize=false, in a scenario where current BoxSize exceeds MaxBoxSize BUT at least one order is still ...

Agreed. Although I modified things here and there, the minimal account size should be 2500$ ... No way you can use LBO at a lower balance. That is also only true for using the Mart sequence of Sq, none of the fib-like ones which are too agressive ...

When I spotted the error, also present in the previous versions, I realized that High = Low, and thus High-Low = BoxExtent = 0. That error appeared on a M15 (I only apply SQ's EA to M15). So it was not High=Low=0, but High=Low. This might be related ...
