}

Had implemented a first run to overcome the issue and some others

Had not tested the code

Pls test and list down other ammendments

please help, i have tried but have not been able to get this EA to work.

maybe i use the wrong mt4 platform or ???

i.e. i use fx-open

and /or is there a newer version i can try ?
