Of course, we can found some case where indicator says the same order on different timeframe, but in some other cases you can found at the same time the indicator saying you a different order. (like I show you in my previous screenshots and I show you again in this new screenshot).
It's why I say the indicator order depending of the timeframe too.

The screenshot is showing that: In H1 the EA will place orders but in M15 the EA will not.

Backtest doesnt work for me.... no trade executed... i dont know why...?
it operates thru global variables so it wont work. if you need to test it, take original Geoff's ea and remove hour limitation from it

Which broker that you use? I, for one, do not have this problem with fxcm live vps nor with demo. All values and comments are in-sync on different TFs.

hi guys,

for all of you who had problems with opening orders by different price here is a test script which opens buy stop orders, please try it and get back with the results - now it must place orders correctly. btw, i found and fixed one hidden bug.

ea and indi loaded on the chart are required to place trades, as before.

Sasha, you sure there wouldn't be a conflict in name convention?

I mean, if previous script and new one in the me directory, how come

EA will pick new one for execution? I think we should delete old one

and rename new to PLACE BUY.ex4.. By the way I'm not sure why MT4 programmers

still naming files with blank space, - this is just a bad practice overall..

I'd never leave empty space in File name.

Example:

PLACE BUY.ex4 (bad practice)

PLACE_BUY.ex4. (OK)

I'm sure you know that... This is a 1st grade programming rules?

Case many times when people will download

something like PLACE BUY.ex4 - they will get PLACE%20BUY.ex4

(cause Empty space translates to %20 in HTML encoding)

and that's invalid file name..

Sky,

it's ok, i will change it, for right now i just need to know does this version do place orders correct. it must open orders by the the same time and price (a little correlation in price is allowed but only if market moves very fast. so now it should work ok)

actualy, ea does not use scripts to place trades, it has exactly the same built in function to do it, so scripts are used only to place trades manually

Sashasan,
If I wanted to place 3 trades at TP 22, TP 24 and TP 26 would I need to change any other settings other than those 3?
Thanks for your work!

TradeRunner, i assume that all of them are on green dotted-pointed line? so same price and same time?

yes, just the take profits values
the rest of it depends what king of trailing and order type you wanna use (Market orders and "fast" or "slow" trailing)

Yes... but looking at hourly chart the trade could go either way,
I will likely sell below the daily pivot and the current S/L will make
an excellent profit target

Good morning, sasha,
Yes, it worked. Thank you.
I placed the trades manually though using the test.

Sasha, I have a problem with this Manual EA..

When I click OK button on popup, 2 buy stop placed instead of 3 ( I use 3 order version),

then all of the sudden 3rd order placed like 20 pips below almost 1 hour later (pair

dropped down) and Top 2 orders dos not Trailing down (pair drop 40 pips already), but sitting at

exact same place where they was placed originally, something messy

going on (same picture as I show earlier)
