// 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.
