Hi ElectricSavant,

There is no "m" to add, as there is no specific symbol in the code, it will work with all pairs.

You're right, I didn't noticed that part :

Code:

//---- Only allow standard Forex symbols XXXYYY
   if(StringLen(symbol)!=6)
     {
      Print("Lots: '",symbol,"' must be standard forex symbol XXXYYY");
      return(0.0);
     }

You have to replace this one by that :

Code:

//---- Only allow m Forex symbols XXXYYYm
   if(StringLen(symbol)!=7)
     {
      Print("Lots: '",symbol,"' must be m forex symbol XXXYYYm");
      return(0.0);
     }

Or you can erase it if you prefer.

FXDD not required a 'm' behind symbols.

I have also had no trades during 4 days, but today I've got 10 trades.

thank you for your service....This is my serious place that I come to for tests...along with Forex-tsd.

I have tested it in backtesting on IBFX mini and it works fine.
