I'm pulling my hair out and need some help.
The attached EA is just a very simple one and is producing signals, but the orders are not being entered and NO ERRORS are showing up in the Journal.
What it should do is every time the current price crosses UP or DOWN on the EMA 89 it would place an order in the direction of the cross.
It places the first one then no more orders.
You can see in the Journal there are plenty of signals being triggered when you run it.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks in advance.
