I think that looks better, and now it is showing the trend, but it took a buy when it should have been a sell, according to the trend. I am also getting lots of "...EURGBP OP_SELL order send failed with error(130): invalid stops" errors. Question ...

First go-around — I put RR/BB on 12 pairs, 1 hr., and it immediately took several trades. Then I noticed in the inputs that UseTrendDetction was set to false. Deleted that demo and loaded a fresh one with UseTrendDetection set to true, ...

No, I do not understand it. If I felt things were getting dangerous, I would sometimes just turn the EA off until things went my way.

They seemed to open within a few hours of each other, not seconds. Yes, I strive to keep plenty of margin. TOB has been really good to me this year, I expect to hit a milestone in a week or so and will make an elaborate post at that time.

About MaxOpenPairsAllowed in TOB — Lots of new positions last night, but something odd happened. I have MaxOpenPairsAllowed set to 4, but TOB took trades in 5 different pairs. (BTW, I have MaxTradesAllowedPerPair set to 5). What could I check ...

BE moved — Now, a half hour later, the BE line has moved up. No trades were taken. Looks like it bumped up from .76550 to .78345. Shouldn't the BE line remain fixed unless another trade is taken? (For some reason, in my previous post the same ...

Steve, I would be perfectly happy to simply input the trading hours I want to trade, in my local time. Yes DIBS does say to use the opening for London, but maybe I might like to trade outside of that time frame. then we could use something like this ...
