Here is a very simple EA that has some code that I think you may be able to integrate into your EA to solve some of your programing problems.
Enjoy.

DislikedOct. 2008 had the biggest moves ever in Forex, at least in the last decade. That month was an aberration not the norm. No EA or trading system will survive that month unless it was lucky enough to be on the right side of those monster moves. The problem with backtesting is it does not show what can be done in real time. I dont recommend running an EA during certain news periods and many will do fine if you follow some basic rules. All EAs are based on some kind of indicators and indicators do not show or predict big news movement. If on Jan 4, 2010...Ignored

DislikedHello Everyone,

Whatever EA that your program and find successful without SL will eventually blow your Account because of difference in Equity and Balance curves..

Thanks you for the new version EA. I tested it according to your setting - without SL, TP 30, TS 18 using the time period 01.012008 to 31.01.2008.
The reults looks good until the last trade#98 which show a huge loss.
Please let me know what went wrong.
Thanks.

Clarification: 950 pips were made once in Jan 2009 trading gbp/usd and Eur/usd and it was somewhat lucky as eur and gbp dropped dramatically in Oct 2008 with fall of Bear-Stearns. I average about 200-275 per month....if I'm lucky.Ignored

DislikedI was talking about EAs. Most of them either got killed or had record hauls. My point is EAs are indicator driven but major News stories overide indicators. That is my point. If you back test an EA and it fails during the month of OCT 08, it doesnt mean it is a bad EA just that it is not designed for major news events. That is the point I was trying to make. Sorry if that wasnt clear.Ignored
DislikedHi, first post here but I would like to ask what growth you saw from 12,000 pips? What were your position sizes? 12,000 pips can be the same as 1,200 pips if using different MM.
Regarding EA: I guess the manual is no longer forth coming?Ignored
