Please give this a go it seems to works quite well on BT I have not done any Forward testing or optimization but it looks good on the JPY pairs and the majors.
IMHO this is a coin toss EA as from the bar pivot we don't know where the open of the new bar is going to be.
If some one wants to change the MM system feel free maybe a martingale or a cost averaging.
I have one idea but it's seem to complicated to code. pm me if you want to give it a crack.

I would like some help please.
I have been thinking and experimenting with this EA but can't seem to get it right.
Want I would like to do is on each bar open a buy and sell each with there own exit point. both with the option of a ema exit or the Percentage exit.
when a position is opened then price tends to flow over and under the bar pivot point so I am looking to take advantage of that.
one of the problems with this is if several position do not close out you could end up with a every growing float. a potential soluion is to close out every position on the open of a new bar.
What do you think.
Let me know.
Cheers

Hello
Attached is a new version of the bar pivot EA I have added a mm system I found some where and an experiment with using the previous bars range as the SL, TP, and TS. it produces some ok results.
also I have been trying to fix the trade context problem but is still not working quite right if some kind soul could have a look into why it not working that would be great.
After using this for a short while I think this could be a good candidate for a martingale style system.
Using the standard mm thats in the system and doubling up after loss 1 the 1.5 for loss 2 then 1.75 for loss 3 if there are 3 losses in a row then revert back to standard mm
I think the 4hr TF on any pair is but this will need more testing.
Any way have a look and let me know.
I have Called it REAP: Range Expert Advisor Pivot.

Current Forward Testing
All looks good but I am still having the Trade Context Busy problem.

How many orders does your system open? or are you runing more then one EA / termial at one time? If you can post the journal logs so one can see the errors. and if you like you can post just the order part of your code for which I will write a switch for you.

BenoIn essence there is no limit it all depends on the TF that is chosen but the most I have seen is 62 on while testing using the 1 hr time frame. on 12 pairs.

I have made a few changes and thus created a new error of which I have no clue ow to fix.
2009.10.27 18:36:53 REAP GBPUSD,H1: TradeIsBusy() - GlobalVariableSetOnCondition ( "TradeIsBusy", 1.0, 0.0 ) - Error #4105
I think it might be traced back to the #include
could someone please shed some light on this error.
Cheers
