{quote} 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.
Impressive the stop order back test was 200 usd limit order back test was like 700 usd.
Quick easy changes. The other way I thought you meant was going to take a long time to do

This EA sends Buy Limit where a sell stop should have gone and sell limit where a buy stop should have been placed

{quote} {quote} 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.
Using majamivice fxbook signal he had a bal of 1900 and equity of 1580 on 5 feb. I would have closed everything and then let the EA start opening
new orders again. His starting balance was 1000 so closing at that time would have netted 580. interventions are done according to your flavour of trading.
others like to ride out trades others quick in out.

Yes, I would also do that on live account, but it's demo and I wanted to test limits.

{quote} 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
this ea has good potential, maybe you can improve and maybe you can find some insight for your current ea.

Unfortunately yes.
If you read latest posts it was mentioned there is a problem trying to control number of trades per signal

Slow down bro.

I see 2 setup with one file. Does it contain the previous setup also? So people don't have to download SwingIt v5 anymore?

I have made each setup choosable. If you do a back test and find it useless you can choose to say false and it wont look for that setup to trade.
