Hi Accrete, I still think the main issue concerning v1.0b2 version is that it places market orders so one half of the hedge always remains. Mainly in trending market the remaining half causes heavy float then losses in worse cases, I mean if the ...

Well, my balance is also in profit (approx. 5,220 on an account started Sunday evening with 5,000) with a negative float (approx. 113). I usually closed the profitable orders manually, if I did not they intended to go back to loss. So, the overall ...

Hendrick, Development work is usually hard and contains quick and slow, progressing and retrograde sections. I am happy that you do not intend to give it up rather to develop something new and great. You can do it!

TraderSeven, Thank you for your reply, you have some very good points. If the hedging worked as you wrote it down, then the float would not increase. But I think now the hedge orders work on the same way as the normal orders, that is, using the ...

TraderSeven, You are right the profit and loss from hedge will even out - but only till one of the orders reaches TP. After that the reamaining order increases the float for a while.
