Hi Stockwet,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

I have tested your managetp today and I applaud you for a really great ea. This system of making pips is what I have been looking for.<o></o>

I do have a small request: is it possible to merge two different ea's or put your ea coding into an other ea. As you can see I have absolutely no idea how to code a ea. I will post the two ea's to merge if this is possible.<o></o>

Thank you in advance<o></o>

JTH<o></o>

Have you tried looking at your log files? I'm wondering if something isn't in there that would clue us in to the problem. I place straddle trades like this with no problem on the management once one kicks in.

Hi again Stockwet,

I'm still having problems with the TakeProfit EA when placing a straddle order. For example, if I straddle the price of 1.8500 with a BuyStop at 1.8550 and SellStop at 1.8450 and want either or both to open when they are hit and then to be managed by the TakeProfitEA, it does not manage either of them. The MaxLoss DOES work on them though, just not the take profit points.

If you are ever able to get the time to look at that, I would really appreciate it. Looks like you're a pretty busy guy though, so I just thought I'd throw that out there and see what you could do.

Thanks again,
B

Hi JTH,

Glad you like the EA.

Unfortunately, I'm quite booked right now. Why not just have each EA running on a different chart?

I haven't looked at the log files, but if I did, I wouldn't know what to look for? What would I be looking for in the logs?

Thanks,

The first thing I'd check in a log file is to make sure that you're not getting an error when attempting to use an order function.

can anyone answer these questions:

1. Does the EA work if another EA is working on the same pair but different chart.
2. Does it work for pending orders?
3. Does it need to be attached to all charts of a particular pair. I've got 4 GBPUSD charts open, do I need the EA attached to them all

3 One additional chart for a pair you are trading I don't think it makes a difference how many charts you have open but give a try on a demo account then you will see for yourself<o></o>

First of all I would like to thank stockwet for this exellent EA.
However I'm really hopeing that somebody could fix the move stop problem.

Maybe it's just me or am I useing it the wrong way?

If somebody could help me I would really be thankful.

What exactly should be the variables of this EA whan I want it to move my stoploss to B/E when i'm in 1 pip profit?

Thank you

Sorry, everyone, for my extended vacation. I needed a good little vacation.

First, if the EA is working with another EA, and both EA's have functionality to take profit out, they may be in conflict. I created the following script to setup my own channel breakout trades. The advantage to this is that I can assign a magic number to a trade, which, I can then input into the Take Profit EA. That way, the Take Profit EA will only manage certain orders.

There was another question about placing a 0 stop at 1 pip. That limitation is not with the expert, but, rather, the broker. Most brokers don't allow orders to be modified if they are less than 5 pips from the current market price. If you can't do it manually, you won't be able to do it with the expert.

Pending orders - Why on earth would you want it to work with pending orders? I don't follow, but, please enlighten me. Are you looking to move a pending order's entry price based on price movement?

Attaching to chart - You only need to attach the expert to one chart per pair for it to work.

I think I covered everything. Let me know if I missed anything.

Markot,

Sorry, you've been asking for this for a while and have been very polite about my SLOOOOWWWWW response. Try this one out. I didn't do any testing, just modified parts of the code that I think will make it work. Please report back any problems and I'll fix them. I'll see if I can test it as well.

Regards,

stockwet

Hmmm, I thought I attached that one here.

Anyway, this script will place a buy or a sell order with a magic number you specify. Specify the order type with "Buy", "buy", "Sell", or "sell". Let me know if you run into any problems.
