SnowRoller EA Inputs - MQL4 Code

Below is listed the inputs and comments in blue for the SnowRoller.mq4 MT4 expert advisor taken from the MQL4 code. Inputs that you can change are in dark red. A zero takeprofit and stoploss mean those inputs are not used. MagicNumber is used when you are running multiple strategies on a single account and wish the MT4 expert advisors to manage them separately. These settings change from time to time so use this as a rough guide. Please consult your individual MT4 expert advisor version to see the most up-to-date settings for your MT4 expert advisor.
