10 pips at a time? Promising strategy - EA Reqd

Hardly true. My current EA research has been toward making EAs 'smarter'. The Old Dog New Tricks thread is the first generation of that sort of EA. I still can't get the damn thing to work smoothly for all members testing it. I'm not sure if you're ...

Broker time. With breakout v6, there are two sets of times: One to define the range, and another to determine when the EA takes a trade.

You have to load the data manually.

Bar Start 0 means all bars. This is to generate the initial range. The reason behind this 'delayed start' is 1) to give the EA time to add the previous day's trades to the statistics generated, and 2) to give a sufficient hilo range to start trading ...

In the context of an EA, the .set file you access through that save/load button. There's no need to put it in a specific folder. You just need to remember where it is.

Files: .set extension

That's a HUGE spread!!!
