In mine case it was not strategy tester, so it also happens in demo account. It just happened in the last version that you released...
The EA has bugs (thats what the I can tell when I run it on the strategy tester), dont worry about the msg that it displays.

I can't see the bugs in the code, at times it acts funny in the strategy tester. Now, its either a bug that I can't spot or the strategy tester is buggy. Only forward tests will tell.

So what happens if we have this set to "True" for set and forget setting. Can you explain?

Thanks, VLO.

Hmmm... I added this feature, if you want the EA to calculate the Range, the add a buy/sell stop orders to either side of the range and just for get about them. If the Buy order kicks in and hits the Stop Loss and the trade goes the other way, it leaves the Sell STOP in place but doesn't reset the Buy order. Same case if the Sell Stop kicks in first. And it removes the pending order if a TP is hit.

Try this on GBPUSD and EURJPY, with their range from 23 - 7 and 21 - 5 respectively, with the SL/TP set to 40 and MAXRANGE set to 80. Even though I'm handling it internally, but also set the NumberOfResets to 1. Try this setting on these pairs for a couple of weeks and see how you like it.

The reason why I didn't discuss this feature when I added it, coz I haven't had the time to debug/test it my self. So I'm not sure as of now if its working properly. I did do a minor quick test and it was functioning.

I downloaded the last version of the EA and now I was to run a backtest in my demo account.

I keep, however, receiving an alert "Error 4109" and also the smiley in the chart.

I'm a complete EA moron, so need help to understand what the hell I'm doing wrong.

Thanks.

Just noticed the backtest is possible to be run even with the Alert popping.

So I ran a BT from 27/11 to 30/11 and here are my comments / doubts.

- In the settings I changed the SL to 100 pips, but I noticed the EA is placing 57 pips stoploss - why's that?

- the buy stop is going in with 17 pips above the high, while sell stop is going 10 pips below the low. Is this "7" difference somehow related to the spread?

Coz I was trading High + 9 (spread) and low + 0 for the pending orders.

- Seen the TP 100 is working fine.

Error that you might see in the strategy tester, which why I keep saying the EA might be buggy.

Error 4109 : which means "ERR_TRADE_NOT_ALLOWED "
Error 4108: w hich means "ERR_INVALID_TICKET"
Error 138 : which means "ERR_REQUOTE"
Error 130 : Which means "ERR_INVALID_STOPS"
Then, there is another error that at times shows up, which means can't modify the order with the same parameter.

The EA will give you the right result on one test iteration and will give you the error on the other iteration. Then a Requote error doesn't make much sense to me in the strategy tester. But I'm not gettting these errors on a forward test. The strategy tester is well known to be buggy, so its quite possible the strategy tester is messing up and the code is fine, or there is some thing minor wrong with the code and I just can't see it. I'll look at it again after a few days, it helps to step a side and get back to the code after a break.

I haven't has the SL not beeing placed correctly issue, try restarting your strategy tester and then setting the SL again and see what it does. About why the Buy is 17 and the sell is 10 is. The EA gets the range, lets see the true range high is 160 and the low is 80. Now the EA add the Buffer to it.
for a long, it would be 160 + buffer + Spread. Enter a Long, when the price reaches Buffer (Default is 10) pips above the range, and when you buy at that place, thats is going to be at the ASK value and not the bid price, hence the Buy is 17 pips above, and the Sell is at the Bid price.
Hope that makes sense.
Even if you set the buffer to 0, it will buy when the price reaches right at the upper boundery of the range, but still, it will buy at the Ask and not at the Bid.

Thanks saaedb, here's my comments:

- I changed the EA properties in the tester, now it's ok. Just the Stoploss for long is going 107 pips because of this spread issue. But it's a minor issue for the backtesting

- Just to understand what you said: backtesting will work even with the error 4109?

I'll be posting a version of the EA which would probably be bug free and definitely in better condition then the last one I posted. I'll be posting it in a few mins, just running few tests on it.

Thanks man, just check on this, too:

I run a few tests and noticed that the report shows # of lots 0.1 but the profit/loss seems to be calculated on a lot 1 (± 0,89/pip).

For instance, it shows loss of $96.96 when a buy order is stopped out.

Here, try this one. And let me know if you find error messages on this one. The only error message thats acceptable is "modify error 1" or something like
that. Dont sweat that msg.
