There are 2 separate types of problems.
Seller9:
I do place the trades manually to test.
I am not getting error 130 any longer - I found that fix myself - as a conflict between trade entry and exit settings. These issues are different.
When using the ATR only settings (SL at a factor of 2 and TP at a factor of 3) in Setting Set A attached previously - no SL or TP appears either on the chart as the lines and nothing but zeros appear in the Trading Terminal window at the bottom of the screen.
When using Setting Set B (with no ATR, but specific SL and TP entries), the trade message window that pops up says the "trade closed...as profit already met, etc.). In this case, when doing my many tests, the price was not volatile / jumping around and there was plenty of room with SL and TP. As a matter of fact, the settings are similar to those i use with a order manager EA that I have been using for 2 years.
Tex:
And this is on a demo account, with plenty of funds - I use "1" as the trade size (as a "1 mini designation - is that not correct? The account has about $10K in it.)
And over the past 2 years, I have always used hard SL & TP as well as a trail and a BE / Profit protect - after lots of testing, this fits my personality best. My hope was that these could be used with this EA - unless Seller9 has indicated otherwise and I missed it somewhere. I have re read each PDF several times, every page in the Thread and the original thread. Slowly. And of course, I conducted searches in these threads.
I am excited about putting this all to the test. I am also hoping that I can contribute to the cause / greater good" - given my 2 year + experience with the Synergy TDI manual method.
I hope we can get me up and running.. I will continue to experiment on my own of course and try to fix it - and will report back if I do.
Does any of this help Seller9 in better clarifying?
Thanks both of you for your time and replies.
