Have a demo up on IBFX. I'm getting a lot of order send and order modify invalid stop errors.

Also, does the bot recognize 5 digit or 4 digit brokers automatically?

Octo,
My bot on a 4-digit broker took a GJ trade and started right off. Looks very smooth......

Hey Whip,

My IBFX 5 digit demo is taking trades, but still a lot of invalid stop errors, wondered if it might be related to trying to set a stop loss with the wrong number of digits.

Octo,
I just checked....my TP and SL are both correct and my bot just took another trade UC. My GJ trade is 2-digits and my UC trade is 4-digits. It's running very smoothly over-all.

Were the order send errors caused by sell trades?

This version kills off the order modify errors. Granted, it does so by not reporting them, but that does not matter in this case. There are circumstances where the robot will be trying to send an impossible breakeven modification.

Octo, 4/5 digits makes no difference to this robot.

I have been seeing order send errors (invalid stops). This is because the EA is trying to open new trades, once trades have hit tp and been closed, that are too close to the Intraday T1 level.

I have had some bother with those today. Buys are fine; sells are causing difficulties.

I found an error in the sell tp calculation code. Let's see if this solves the problem.

Watch the default trading hours - they are set wide to offer the robot as many trading ops as possible whilst I am debugging.

Thanks Steve. Will set up and report back if I see any other issues.

Hi Steve
Last update took 4 long trades at start-up. One was another GJ trade 5 pips from the last. All are long trades on a 4-digit broker. One GJ trade above breech pivot and one below.
No error messages

Steve, still getting order send invalid stop errors on sell orders. These are occurring on initial trade entries on pairs that have yet to trade, so not the case that PeeJay is describing.

Tis ok. If the robot detects a trading setup it takes a trade without reference to anything else.

Once up and running live, it will be an essential given that people do not change tf's/reload the bot etc once trades are open.

There will be a simple fault in the algorithm somewhere - I will have subtracted a value when I should have been adding it, that kind of thing.

Will find it eventually.

Hi Steve,
Bot just took a UJ short trade without an error message on my 4-digit broker. Let's see if that continues......

Tell it to pull itself together and get the error messages going again.
