Are you testing with OpenOrders option at 2 or 3 ?
Im with value "2" and only 1 order follows the inverse movement...

well i tested it in real mode (demo account), 3 pending orders always moved at the same time
yes, time frame does not matter, because indicator calculates values based on H1, M15 and M5

I'm not liking this change to a 5 digit system on IBFX. Saw a + 47 pip gain and got all excited. Cashed out, and realized it was only 4.7 pips. Bummer.

EA just took 3 Buy Stops and it's moving alone with the price,

just what I want it.. Let's see..

Now we not going to just sit and watch hopeless how pair moving against us, eating

our pips..

Thank you Sasha, looking good

Only question I have.. I see 1 order is apart from other 2 by about 17 pips, what parameter is

responsible for this spread? Looks like TrailingStop3?

ok guys, here is another idea - yesterday night (around 23:00 GMT) i placed 2 pending orders with distance of 30 pips and made the following settings :
take profit 1 = 17
take profit 2 = 150
stop loss = 140
trailing stop = 50
b/e = 0

the idea behind this is to "unleash" 2nd order and try him to catch a big profit since we have a huge stop loss.

so now we have :
1st order closed with +17 pips
2nd order closed with +97 pips

btw, take profit 2 was not set on purpose (just any number out of my head), so if cable would go up on 2 pips more, order 2 would close with take profit +150

Now it the perfect example.. Why buy Top and watch,

how pig flying down without parachute? Just grab it

lower when she decide to reverse, that's what EA is doing

right now, trailing orders down alone with PA.

Good Idea but traling stop =50 looks too big what if Trade revese at 45
pips? then it would have no stop at all and can drop to Stop Loss

I'm thinking traling stop =25 should be enough.

sky no, i think that's i was talking about yesterday - if market goes very fast (one tick is less then a second and a whole cycle of modifying 3 orders does not fit into this milliseconds period of time), prices of those orders will be different, if i understood correct

Im not totally agree with spirit of this last v3.4: if price reverse 10 pips or more, its maybe just because the scenario is invalided. Dont you think?

Yes, for example like if TP1 25 pips 1st get hit and second TP2 35 hit than

you can set 3 rd Order Stop Loss just above break even and trail

alone with Order #3

#1 If you don't agree then set TrailOrder2/3 to False

#2 Look Cable now, if we don't have Buy Stop/Sell stop you

will be in hole for about 50 pips by now with regular Tokyo EA.
