Hi Candyman. I have 3 open GBPAUD trades at the same price and one sell limit at the same price. Shouldn't EA delete this pending order after open it? Otherwise it can go in big drawdown if price bounce from that level. {image}
Just checked only to find there is a code in the EA that blocks that from happening. But I blocked out that code because it reduced profit.
If you go to line 2333 up to 2342 its blocked out.
You can un block it your self. But if you do not know here is a copy of it unblocked. Much safer trading.

On the experts tab it says "invalid ticket for order delete function" What does it mean?
It means I have mixed up the codes. There is function that deletes buy or sell orders and a code that deletes pending orders.
Code for pending is probably trying to delete a buy or sell order or vice versa

majamivice started a signal on swing Hy Lo
https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/533644

I have also put it on my live account. Experience so far is that let it trade low volatility pairs.
Gbp Pair are a no no. Eur Aud EurCad EurNzd are no no also.

The drawdown has become quite huge. Back to drawing board.
Majamivice had pointed out earlier a situation where three trade where opening at the same time. That works nicely when market goes your way but humongous draw down when it goes against.

I have cleaned out post one.
I also have used swing HiLo v7 on my live account
https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/532560
But I have to intervene at times to close trades not open. that's why it has done well.
Also I did away with gbp pairs and high volatility pairs.
But at the end of the day we want the EA to trade with out intervention

But as you said in post 1101, v8 fixed that right? He's using v7

Maybe manual intervention is needed. Or maybe you have better ideas.

I'm using v5 on my micro account. Been 3 weeks. I will post result when I have the time.

HI.
Can you make the same EA just with opposite trades. If Sell stop instead Sell limit. When Buy stop instead Buy limit
I'am testing with Trade copier EA and Equity manager with trailing to take opposite signals and here are result for last 7 days.

I have a sell stop order (which I cancelled) on USDJPY on my mt4 at price point 110.350 while you have open buy order at 110.346 (I looked at your signal page).

Don't you mean this?

-instead of a sell stop, put a buy limit (like the UJ trade I mentioned above)

Hi,I said wrong. It should be: Sell Stop= Buy limit, Buy Stop=Sell limit
Thank you that you pointed it out. I said opposite orders but wrote wrong.
Candyman sorry that I said wrong.

i had been look Majamivice myfxbook signal, he should reduce the lot size in order avoid big drawdown, cause this ea still open many orders. one order per signal should be the best.

I have tried version with one order per signal but DD was also very big in correlation to much less profit than v.7.

I personally think it's better to have an exit plan B, if we can't really rely on the EA 100% out of the box.

The open trades on your account didn't show any way of decreasing. So maybe implement TP/SL/trailing, which I think is already included in the EA.

I assumed sellstop to be sell limit meaning I would have to make price accommodate a limit which would have been a total change of strategy. Thanks for getting a clarification

This is the thing that has taken me back to the drawing board. Opening to many orders. I am trying to write up code for orders to be opened while taking into the equity balance. it looks like I have to have separate function coded. should I crack it this should be a killers ea.
either kill the bankers or kill the trading account
