how can i override minimum Take Profit on pending orders?

heres the problem. the take profit must be away as the same as the spread. so like 4 pip spread on usdjpy means MT4 will not let me set pending orders with take profit less than 4 pip.

is there any way to override this? for example, i would liek to set a pending order with 1 pip take profit.

i guess i could do something like if position open, take profit at specified interval....not sure how this would work out tho. it would mean running a separate script or EA.

Since the server won't accept the stoploss or takeprofit, you have to manage it client-side. My recommendation is to use an order array to keep track of ticket, stoploss, takeprofit, etc. and simply close the order out as appropriate.

I'll also recommend that you set the server-side stoploss as a backup incase you lose connection, etc.

good idea, thanks.

just thought maybe there was some options or config files that i didn't know about.

One more thing, when you start managing/tracking orders clientside, it's important to start thinking about retaining system state if the EA has to be restarted, the PC gets shut off, etc. The best way I've found to handle this is via serialization (writing data to disk) and then deserializing it upon system init.

yea. i will be testing this out for a while on PC.

btw, what if you dont have desktop access to ur remote host. they only allow ssh connections. im normaly used to installing stuff thru commandline.

so i think mt4 is not compatible with the current remote host im using (i used it for dev web 2.0 pplications)

Can you give me an example of a routine/function to make a stoploss and tp on the client side. I have the same problem, my broker server do not accept the sl and tp on those times that you are not watching.
thanks
