{quote} Thank you. No, it's not because of demo, this is bug... What MT4 version do you use? It works ok for me on 1220.
Hi. I believe that the bug occurs when the pair has two decimal digits. For example the XAUUSD.

Here it is, but it's the same as the previous one... {file}
Hi
Thanks for the nice expert, but I have a problem and a question :

The problem :
my strategy for manual trading works on Renko charts. I have a Renko Offline chart generator and I know how to use that offline chart in the strategy tester, however, when I put your expert at the testing,... strategy tester jumps to the end of the time and won't let me do any manual trading, it completely ignores the tool.

The question :
How can I make this tool work in real-time and not strategy tester? Is it possible or not?

Thanks

Yes, it is possible. But please note that there might be bugs, risk is yours.
I don't know what is the problem with the renko chart, do you have a link for the generator?

Is the tool already usable in real time or do we need another version?
Remember, regarding the renko chart, the problem is in back testing offline renko

O~k, tried dropping it on real time chart, got a warning that demo expired !

Hi KiS,

Thank you for all your effort, i was looking all over for something simple to replace the default mt4 "depth of market" tool and came across your thread, this is a bit far fetched request but would it be possible to extend the trial version in one of your previous releases? Your current version is really great but i need it to be much more stripped down and smaller like your first few releases, i just need the Buy and Sell buttons, TP, SL and floating to move it around...that is it small and simple maybe even like the attached Screen.

thank you,

I have a problem with v7, when I turn off take profit and stop loss, i can easily put orders in back test, but when i turn on take profit with the value 10.... no orders being placed (trying a micro scalping strategy here) don't know why but the minimum working number is 20 !

Isn't because your broker will not accept stops less than 20?

Nope, when I use trading bots or assistant experts, I can put profit with 10 points (1pip)

You might have a look at MT4 experts tabb for any error message. This EA is setting actuall SL and TP on position. Other EAs might close position at 10 points without actually setting the TP.

This is the error I get : Create_close_button: Position not selected, error: 130

It has nothing to do with the broker it seems

One more suggestion, add functionality to the minimize button and also add the option to move the chart to another corner without the need to play with x and y coords, for example if i set it to top right with x and y of 10, it should anchor to top right with 10 pixels from rigtht side and top

As I suspected, your broker doesn't accept stops lower than 20. The error you got is: ERR_INVALID_STOPS 130 Invalid stops. The other 2 errors occure because of that. Check https://book.mql4.com/appendix/errors

Really? because in live real trade I can put 10, although, it's on the dcn server and this one is on demo dcn one can it be the reason?

Also, one very special question, is it possible for you to make this open source? I am really interested in the interface and how you are doing this in the backtest, but my strategy uses dynamic take profit, kinda hard to mimic the real-time result in backtesting this way.
