- Added 'point to pip divider' to CONFIG | Advanced, which controls our definition of a pip. Set to 1 if would like the system to use points like MetaTrader, rather the classic pips (0.0001 change on EURUSD), which is our default. Users trading indices may wish to set to 100 so one pip is one basis points, for most brokers.

I really can't fault this EA - it's worth every penny, especially when one considers the amount of thinking and development that has clearly gone into it. It does pretty much everything that you could ever need, especially when combined with either of the two matrix products that RunwiseFX offer that integrate with the EA, allowing you to mix and match almost any external indicators to trigger a trade. It takes a little while (at least a day or two) to work through the extensive and clear documentation (which is excellent) and you'll need to be prepared for some trial & error tweaking and testing the comprehensive array of settings that are built in. There's also a huge library of plug-in settings that allow extra behaviours to be added in. But if you run into any issues setting it all up, RunwiseFX's support service is excellent as well. And the icing on the cake is the mobile add-on which means that you can keep an eye on things when away from your desk.
