Trade manager

I finally got the first full version of this thing written and am now testing it with some demo trades. Unfortunately, I have to do all my testing in real time since it's only a management program and the real downside is that the market is unbelievably slow right now (for obvious reasons). I'm thinking I'm just going to turn on a movie and let this trade run around a bit. I was honestly hoping that this trade would either breakout and then retrace to a stop level or just turn on me in an instant and hit the "mental stop" of the program. Unfortunately it's been bouncing in about a 4 pip range around the entry price. I guess that's what I get for procrastinating finishing this thing until the END of the SLOWEST market session of the day. Oh well, even if this trade does actually get stopped out appropriately I still have to test several scenarios on it before I can be sure it works the way it's intended to. Most of the debugging that needs to be done would involve printing massive amounts of information to the screen, which is annoying to go through and trace problems so let's hope that for once I nailed it on the first try. After all, this EA is far less complex than a lot of the others I've worked on.
