@ candy is it possible that PAC starts initial trades and Swing EA overtakes afterwards with the following pendings? Somehow lets say PAC only opens first set of pending trades and then stops for the rest of day.. :-) As the first pendings, when you trade on daily candles are great signals.. just the management of the following pendings is a problem. oh dear i should go to bed after testing 24 hours non stop No retreat... no surrender :-)
never say die i like your tenacity .

I believe for truly automated EA you need to have a component of reading the news and analyzing the news releases. Like today for example beat on US GDP. EA needs to be able to see there was a beat and at least on short term bias might be in USD favor and somehow incorporate that into long term price action. For example USD is very over sold breaching the 4H/1D/1W BB bands. EA waits for news release and its a beat, since USD is very over sold and just got good news odds are there is going to be a significant pull back. I think this is how the big boys do it, their EA's scan the market none stop and react to news. If EA cant react to given market condition there all doomed to fail at some point because trend can keep going for a very long time if fundamentals don't support a turnaround...anyways just an idea

Account still didn't blow, so we got hope for a turnaround!! GL to All

{quote} Hi renko, ignore the error 130 it's just the stops that the ea tries to place is deemed invalid by mt4, perhaps the price moved quickly etc etc you can use just the pac v34. equity stop loss is another program developed for stopping out manual trades via it's calculation ... do correct me if i'm wrong anyone
Error 130 is a bigger problem than one might assume.
Trades went well today till error occured for over an 2 hours period. Result was that i was short only usdcad and EA was not able to set long usdcad order. 2 hours later and after it has hun over 50 pips in opposite direction finally it hedged the position.
This has an direct affect on your p/l which has of course affect on equity Trailer afterwards

I found this help. See below

Need to check whether candy code can be adjusted If possible

hi, candyman, i always read your post, you should update your first post with your new ea version, and also update your current TE ea version. and also i hope anyone has ability to test the new version ea. and post your performance link here for other to check, so others traders will clearly know how this ea performance and will share more insight .

Just atm. Error 130 appears for 5 pairs. And looking into order type all blocked pendings would have been killer Trades. Especially eurusd where short cannot be opened due to error would have taken the sexy dive If sell stop order would have been accepted an hour ago. As this error pops up for over 2 hours now and for several pairs same time, i assume it is a general issue and Not a typical problem when a single pair is affected due to volatile market phase or Spikes etc

ok

with regard to error 130 ea is sending invalid price for a buystop that mt4 cant accept.
i have coded to send a limit order when stop order rejected

briefly i did a combined ea pac34SWTdayi it does stoporders only
then i dd pac34SWTdayilimit which also sends limit orders. dayi says it could be a killer EA.
please note error 130 will still be there .
but good news before ea would try send buystop and fail with error 130.
but now it will send a limit order
