//----------------------- KEEP TRACK OF STOPLOSS TO AVOID RUNAWAY MARKETS
// Sometimes the market keeps trending so strongly the system never reaches it's target.
// This means huge drawdown. After stopping out it falls in the same trap over and over.
// The code below avoids this by only accepting a signal in teh opposite direction after a SL was hit.
// After that all signals are taken again. Luckily this seems to happen rarely.

}
//----------------------- TO DO LIST
// 1st days profit target is the 30 pip line *not* 30 pips below average as usually. -----> Day()
// Trailing stop -> trailing or S/R or pivot target
// Realistic stop loss
// Avoid overly big positions
// EUR/USD  30 pips / use same value as pipstep
// GBP/CHF  50 pips / use same value as pipstep 
// USD/CAD  35 pips / use same value as pipstep 

//----------------------- OBSERVATIONS
// GBPUSD not suited for this system due to not reversing exhaustions. Maybe use other types of MA
// EURGBP often sharp reversals-> good for trailing stops?
// EURJPY deep pockets needed.
