// This EA is NEVER TO BE SOLD individually 
// This EA is NEVER TO BE INCLUDED as part of a collection that is SOLD

//4a  - removed lots from externs
//4a  - added StartingBalance as extern
//4a  - compounding is gone. it was an insane idea 
//4a  - replaced compounding with 1 order per bar. Max is 5 in past year.
//4a  - added option (TradeEveryBar) to turn on or off the multi-trade feature
//4a  - added option (FoldFrames) to double lots on each successive multiple order 
//4a  - added frame limit to 6 bars past last successful market order
//4a  - removed BasketLoss
//4a  - removed trailing stop
//4a  - fixed invalid volume problem, couple of places escaped MAXLOTS check
//4a  - fixed the Open loops so they time out after 25 seconds. Missed it before.
