I wasn't happy with seeing how often recently one platform on one account was doing a trade and not the other when the .set was the same, so I made a wee-bit leap in presuming the problem could be the smallest periodicity as to size of open & close values and sensitivities thereof and went to 5min to have EA operate on larger open & close values, in this case 150 & 250 instead of levels down around 10. I picked top performer out of the optimization line-up and WOW! With money-management on $1K turning into $347K in 10 months, holy mackerel! That's with only 5 stop-losses hit on the way.
The EA is set to operate on 5min as you'll see in the parameters, and the Scientific feature stays on to operate on only the opens as the tester is put at "opens only".
Have a gander, wondrous site, hope there isn't any more problems in the way to have it go forth into fruition:

Oh, am happier there isn't ultra longish period of no trading, seems instead of a couple months it's only weeks between worst case infrequent trading periods, so thank goodness for some small favors!
I have set Berts & Anthony's and mine accounts on these settings, only thing I worry about is optimization was on AlpariUS demo because IBFX platform wasn't budging with some 5min back-data and many of these accounts are IBFX live$, buuuuuuut, I looked at the bar patterns and they seem quite similar dispite different brokers, so hopefully much of the time the open/close values will work ok.
