cgldsmth, glenn5t This EA only looks up account info, you can slap it into any unused chart. Every time that chart recieves a quote tick it will check the equity and balance, etc... So pick a chart that has a good volume Rusty

I took a look at the charts, but I am not sure if it is AUDNZD, or NZDUSD, or something else. Could you please let me know which chart this is? Thanks Rusty

NZD retail sales

What is "Fading"?

Which candle is the "stall" I see a large drop from 1.9023 to 1.9001, but then wouldn't you go long and ride all the way up?? Rusty

What is "Fading"?
