In this case that's true, it worked well.
I just want to say that the signal can be outdated if the movement take to long time to be validated or reverse too much.

Its why I set the ReverseMove at 10~20 pips.

#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.

I'm not sure what ReverseMove doing exactly, have to ask

Sasha to make sure...

Sky,
Do you have all default settings or have you changed some? And if so,
what have you changed?
Thank you.

I'm testing so.. TP 22-25-28

trailing stop 2 = 14

Trailing stop 3 =17

Basically I don't need them (TSL) since my TP are too low to trail..

And that's about it..

See first page:
It's the distance we accept to do (during what pending order is modified pip by pip) in reverse direction; after what the order is just deleted.

i see what you are talking about - this value should be (- spread), so when tried to set it less then 40, it was always closed right away (on the next tick), so i will fix it in a new version

actually no, everything works fine, it's could be a useful feature added to show a minimal allowed ReverseMode (because market price could go far away already) to avoid orders to be closed right away
will do it in next version

That's what I mention yesterday. Trail STOP orders ONLY until

ReverseMode =100 (for example) 100 pips if no Reverse and no

orders triggered by then. Close all pending STOP orders and wait

for next setup.

Please, let me understand this right. I have just put it on the chart this afternoon. 2 orders are placed. one opens and the price drops 80p and the order is supposed to trail? and stay within how many p's of the price? Mine didn't. The price is just now up where the second order was placed and still hasn't kicked in. Where have I missed it?
Thank you.

Got it. Nothing but the price is just there now so it won't.

So it had dropped 68 p's. Should it have trailed? I think so.

Price didn't hit the order and is dropping so we'll see if it trails now.

so looks like one of the order is already triggered and become a market and the other is still pending ? now you could get those results?
i mean distance between orders are very big, did you use a script to place orders?

I placed them from the pop up. One was filled quick, the other sat while price went down 68p's or so and then came back. I expected to see the order trail the price but didn't. Is that what it's supposed to do?
