Why don't you run multiple trade managers on different charts?

Why is there NOT a Multi-MagicNumber Manager EA?

This is my home setup: image iPod touch is terrible for taking pictures. It's much brighter than it looks, I promise.

Any grid trading EA should do that.

Looking for an EA to add to a position

I agree DST adjusted data is better. Problem becomes how do I account for the two 2:00AMs and the lack of a 2:00AM twice a year? For now, I've avoided that issue by simply using relatively small backtesting periods. DST shifts tend to affect the ...

Detecting ECN Brokers

This is why none of the programmers are interested.

Great idea for an EA

Are you sure there are multiple trades being placed in the same bar? That particular variable tells the EA how many trades per bar were taken

Generic MA Crossover Version 2 [TD]

Should be in the code, not the settings

Generic MA Crossover Version 2 [TD]

There should be a variable in the EA called 'TradesThisBar' Does your version have that variable?

Generic MA Crossover Version 2 [TD]
