{quote} Thanks for your tests while you are in holidays! For this Stopped stuff at the bottom, I have no idea what this is about. It looks like you are using an indicator that prints information at the bottom but I don't know this indicator at all. It has nothing to do with the EA, the EA status "waiting for signal" is OK.

Thanks Damiend, I will look at this again. I have installed your latest update and it has just taken a UJ trade long, but it seems to be miles away from any MA, screen shot attached;

I have now also deleted every indicator and reloaded with out the silly stopped sign, so all good to go

{quote} Hi MickeyMar, I'm not sure why it didn't open the trade. The two only reasons that could prevent the delayed entry to be opened are: a spread too high and a SL price > channel low. For the spread, I will make an improvement in the next version because (for a Buy) it's using the Ask price to look for the EMA33 touch currently. I will use the Low of the candle instead to ensure the spread doesn't prevent some trades to be opened.

I don't know if I'm asking too much for this but would you include an option of hiding stop loss and take profit information from the broker ie process it from trader's machine instead of fixing it with the order. I'm requesting this because I've noted on 4 occasions on this demo account I'm using when my stop loss was tampered with by the broker and moved closer to the price. Thank God i delayed opening a real account with them besides i don't trust brokers and i suspect they are all to some mischief like hunting stop losses

That;s the first time I hear about brokers faking stops on demo accounts... On the contrary, I believe, if they really want to cheat, demo accounts are exactly the ones they would leave alone, don't you think?

Ok, it looks like it is miles away, but from what I see on your chart, it's less than 40 pips + the SL is on the other side of the channel. So it's following MickeyMar's rule correctly.
If one would like to reduce it, it would require to reduce the StopLoss, that's all.

Switch to another broker

More seriously, it could be an interesting feature for live trading, thanks for the idea. But it would take some time to implement, test and ensure the trades are always closed as expected, else it could be dangerous and wipe a live account. So I prefer keeping that for later, when all the main features will be stable.

Thanks Damiend for your efforts. Have a suggestion here to have a variable as to the distance from MA that it should not trade. There were a few signals today that were at some distance from MA but were quite successful. with the variable, the user can decide as to the distance from MA that he is comfortable with.

GBPAUD, unsuccessful trade at 20:15 Eastern time, with a possibly huge winner at 22:00 Eastern, though distance from MA was very high.

Is it possible that your stops were moved because of "trailing stop" function of the EA?

Hi Damiend, so far today from london opening my system has only opened one trade on the UJ as mentioned above, is this what you would have expected and I would have thought that all of the traders who are operating within the same time frame would be opening the same trades and possibly more than the one trade?

Hi Damiend, I just took 3 manual trades using the trade now button and all 3 trades were placed as per your specification. I also tried to take a trade when the position was still within the channel and that would not allow me, so thats working as well. just thought I would let you know.

There's no difference in delayed orders code between 1.2 and 1.21.
The only change in 1.21 is a bug fix for sell trades when SL=0

Hmm strange, with my broker it works. I use the mt4 Digits(), the stop loss calculation is like this for a BUY :

Inserted Code
slPrice = entryPrice - StopLoss*MyPoint();
 
double MyPoint()
{
   double CalcPoint = 0;
   
   if(_Digits == 2 || _Digits == 3) CalcPoint = 0.01;
   else if(_Digits == 4 || _Digits == 5) CalcPoint = 0.0001;
   
   return(CalcPoint);
}

Maybe someone knows what's wrong there...
Else could you send me your broker name via PM? Maybe I could create a demo account and test it.

Thanks

Here is the version 1.22 with a minor improvement with the spread during delayed entries I talked about earlier.
