DislikedHi, Marci,
Hope you don't mind these additional thoughts. The EUR/USD trade (the 2nd trade) is still open at -15 pips and -$400+. The EA closed out the GBP/USD trades when the price moved 1 or 2 pips to the minus side and before it open the EUR/USD trade. Checking yesterday's log, I noticed that the 1st time it occurred the EA opened and closed the trade without trying to open a 2nd trade in between the open and close. Other times it opened a GBP/USD trade then unsuccessfully tried to open a 2nd trade and then closed the GBP/USD trade.
Thanks again,

I do believe you should code to check for free margin since I had also tested EAs where the trades were just closed or not triggered due to the free margin. I only came across one EA in the past which actually checked for this otherwise the EAs will just drain the account.Ignored

DislikedMarci,
I understand what you are saying. Here is some more information. Acount balance at the time of the GBP/USD trade was $3072, LotPercentage was set at 5%, MiniVal = 100. Lot size for the GBP/USD trade was 3 lots. There were no other trades open at the time this trade was opened. The trade was closed when it move negatively -1 pip. A $150 loss. There was no attempt to open a 2nd trade before this trade closed. It did not move enough to use up the margin to close the trade. It had set allocated $1740 of the account balance to cover the margin.
The 2nd trade, EUR/USD, was for 2.9 lots, basically the same size as the first. At the time it was opened the account balance had been reduced to $2922. It is still open at -15 pips and $400+ loss.

DislikedMarci,
I am recompiling the EA and going to run it on new demo account. There are still some unanswered questions. For example: the LotValue was set at 1, mini-account. Why did it trade 3.0 lots? LotPercentage was set at 5. 5% of $3072 is $153.60. Why did risk 10 times that amount?
Thanks,

DislikedHi, Marci,
Please look at the attached file. The first page shows that account #517330 is a mini account with 1:200 leverage. The 2nd page shows the Inputs for Flyer 2.00. On the 3rd page the 2nd transaction is a trade that the EA entered for 2.90 standard lots ( the other 2 trades where entered manually). If the stoploss is executed the trade would lose $1682, 2.90 lots x 58 pips x $10 per pip. I'm confused as to why the EA entered standard lots when LotValue is 1, MarginVal is 200 and the LotPercentage is 5, $150 risk.
Thanks for your help,

DislikedHi Marci,
Just thought I'd drop a note. I'm still using Flyer in its latest incarnation. No problems, operating beautifully. I've had five consecutive successful orders placed on cable during the past week or so, most recently Monday evening 12 February. Currently, Flyer has me in a long position as of 20:33 on 13 February at a price of 9460.
I trust you've somewhat adjusted to your new home and that all is well with you. Trade well and prosper.Ignored
DislikedHi, Marci!
I'm trying to figure out why it did not trigger a long position when it crossed to the upside at about 7:00 on 2/14 ( see attached file)? By the way I think the problem I was having with the lots has been corrected. Brokers sure can be confusing at times.
Thanks,
