Flexy Grid EA (Grid Trading)

Quoting Go5
When trying the EA on XAUUSD and USDMXN, works on the first, places orders. Then when starting on the 2nd chart I get the message: there are opened orders (and nothing happens). The only opened order was the Gold one. So I closed that grid (& trade) and start automatic on the Peso: nothing happens. Starting manual places the initial trade followed by pendings. Broker: IC markets
Same here running on eurjpy and wanted to run on different pairs it states have open order maybe due to same magic number

You can use this EA on mutiple chart.
When the EA opened a grid on one chart, it won't open another grid on another chart.
WHY?
Because the limit/stop orders could already be used 100% on the first chart.
So on the second chart, there's no limit/stop order left for it. In short, no more bullet rounds until the grid on another chart is closed.

HEre is an example
You have EURUSD and USDCHF
You opened a grid on USDCHF and used all the available stop/limit orders on the MT4 platform for USDCHF. Let say the maximum order is 50.
As you have used all 50 orders for USDCHF, EURUSD will not be able open a grid until USDCHF Grid is closed

Furthermore I think there's no way to find out the maximum number of orders a broker can handle with MQL4. If it's possible, then we could have some order management. Unfortunately it's not possible for now. Let see if it will in the MT5

For reference read below
https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/155714#comment_3800403
A user said "Broker dependent, some 100, some 1000, some don't care. Ask the broker, put it in an external."

I gotta take my word back...
I forgot that you can know the allowed limit orders
using
(int)AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LIMIT_ORDERS);
https://docs.mql4.com/constants/envi...t_info_integer

Inserted Code
bool IsNewOrderAllowed()
  {
//--- get the number of pending orders allowed on the account
   int max_allowed_orders=(int)AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LIMIT_ORDERS);
//--- if there is no limitation, return true; you can send an order
   if(max_allowed_orders==0) return(true);
//--- if we passed to this line, then there is a limitation; find out how many orders are already placed
   int orders=OrdersTotal();
//--- return the result of comparing
   return((orders+(maxGrid*2)+1)<max_allowed_orders);
  }
Need to assess the possibility.

New UPdate 1.6

Recent issue with the grid closing it self is because there was an issue with the Risk:Reward function that caused the grid to close.
I have not test the latest fix fully. I need your help to exploit it until it break.

Existing issues
1. There's issue with the Trading Grid style button (the 101,111 buttons), It keep reverting back to "101" when changing TF

2. When there's error during placing the order, it will retry to place the order.
However, sometime the retry may be unsuccessful and lead to freeze because the EA keeps retrying placing an order but somehow it's unsuccessful hence an stucked in an infinite loop or crash. You gotta close the chart and reopen it to reset back to normal. In the next build, I will place a retry counter, it will stop retry after several try.

New Feature:
Are those recent requested feature except for STEALTH MODE and EMAIL.

Please exploit it, bug hunting.
Meanwhile i'm gonna go out shopping with family.
