Had something weird with V12 Live fxdd. One trade close with a 22 pip profit. the other was stil running this morning at as 45 pip loss I let it run for awhile but closed it out as it was a buy the the GU was going down.
I thought the 2nd position was set to BE once the 1st posstion reached TP1

Both ATC and FXDD, live accounts, with CamV2a, got off correctly, I assume, at .5096, and all at the same time; six positions. ATC hit TP for +22 and then prices reverted to down direction and two remaining position were out with +10 and +1, hitting their tSL. The FXDD is another story, however, as after hitting the initial TP and exiting with +22 pips ($), the Traling Stops never functioned correctly. Manually closed trades, finally, with -$3 and -$4 dollars (or pips as 1 pip = $1). Have no idea why FXDD Trailing Stops did not kick in? Was up,...

WOW
just read this same for me

I am reading this thread and a lot of people are having problems with trailing stops. That is why I am going back to V9 until the problems are solved. Bad TS means loss of money.

It seams that at least all of the problems were with FXDD
Where there other brokers where stops didn't work?

You guys are probably running into your Brokers MODE_STOPLEVEL limits. If you check your logs you'll probably see 130 Errors.

This can vary between brokers and pairs. What the crooks do is limit the amount that SL can be moved too close to Current market price. Like IBFX for some pairs they have a MODE_STOPLEVEL=30 which means when your first TP is hit at 22 the SL can't be moved yet because there isn't 30 pips difference between Orderopen price and Current Price. You would need to add a Hidden SL feature to the EA or use another trade management EA that has this hidden feature to monitor the trades.

I agree here.. You just can not trust most brokers. Even if the ea works today who's to say your broker won't change his set up to screw things up tomorrow.?

better to make the EA as broker proof as possible ..imo.
Take as much control as you can into your own hands.. and out of the brokers.....
after all .. who do you trust more?

but those are just my own thoughts on the subject.

I don't see it but not only will it need hidden SL but hidden Trail SL as well.

I checked my Journal, Expert Tab & the actual log file for the FXDD account that closed TP 1, but left the other two trades open.

There are no errors at all, just normal "Order was opened..." entries.
