DislikedHi ForeverForex,
There is in inherent problem running the EA on low timeframes. As you (or someone else) recently pointed out the ATR value can be very low on 15M TF, just a few pips. This results in SL/TP being just a few pips away from the entry level. Most of the brokers however would not allow SL & TP to be within a few pips of the current price, there is a minimum distance, say from a few up to 10ish pips the SL & TP must be away from the current price to get the order through....
When these orders fail the EA will blindly try to correct...Ignored
DislikedLongbar,
Below is a journal excerpt showing the opening of order 6908461 at 2009.09.07 23:01:09, a USDCHF sell, followed a couple minutes later by a failed [Trade timeout] message for a similar order but with no price values.
I'm on FXCM and the 2 step is enabled to allow the follow-up SL/TP order modifications.
There was no recorded attempt to write a SL for 6908461 but it appears it tried to open a duplicate order, albeit one without any price values, instead of modifying the open order with a SL.

DislikedHi Longbar,
Forever Forex's suggestion for an option to set a minimum ATR pip value was #3 on my wish list in post 765 for the same reason. I wrote, "The low momentum in these instances would make me personally pass on the trade so I'd prefer setting a "minimum ATR pips required to trade" value."
While your solution to change the ATR multilier to 2 or 3 would work, it would require frequent adjustment as market conditions change, higher multiples in low range markets and lower multiples for trending/ wide range markets. I'm monitoring 18...Ignored

DislikedOhhh, I missed the point earlier I am afraid
I though this minimum would be a value to adjust the SL would the ATR less than that.
But you actually talk about a trading filter: skip the trade if ATR is less than this value.
Makes sense now - will add to the new features list.
My way of thinking is that the current v0.17 EA implements all the strategy pieces Mister ED defined (right?). If no major problem comes up with it then I make the EA to version 1.0.0 and it becomes the starting point for all new features like this minimum ATR...Ignored
DislikedHi JR,
Hmm, it does look wierd. The 461 ticket was submitted at 1.0596 but then it timed out with the "opening at 0.00000" message. Keep in mind though that the time out does not necessary mean the order did not succeed - this is an MT nuance.
If you could dig out the corresponding messages from the Experts tab that would give insight from the EA viewpoint what order parameters where used for the submit. Also that would show what error (if any) the EA recognised during this submit.
If you still have that phantom order open then please check...Ignored
The EA should be now listed in the Navigator window (Ctrl+N) at the Expert Advisors section. Similarly the HAS should be listed at the Custom Inidicators section.
Once the installation is done just open a chart and attach the EA to the chart - that's it.
Enjoy!

DislikedHi Longbar,
I'd already manually closed the order when it retraced to the HAS body so I don't know the magic number when it was open. The MT report lists 20090906 which is the same as the one in the USDCHF chart EA Inputs.
Here's the excerpt from the Experts log:

DislikedHi JR,
There is something very "interesting" here.
The EA log suggests that the USDCHF order has been submitted, MT rejected with time out, however the order got through to the account:

DislikedHi Longbar,
Interesting? This is looking more like the Twilight Zone.
The account history shows USDCHF.
Is it "just" an internal MT4 error or broker back end snafu?

DislikedYeah, keep in mind the EA as well as MT is just a piece of software, these handle right those situations these have been programmed for... Whether this is EA or MT problem (or both) is yet to be seen. I took a look at the EA code and I do not see an obvious bug, the EA everywhere filters the orders using the Symbol (ie USDCHF) of the chart it is attached to so an EA attached to AUDJPY chart shall never pick up order belonging to USDCHF chart. What I'd like to know the exact details of that particular order to make a call here. I'll implement a small...Ignored
