you know, i never tried to set up magics less then 5 digits so have no idea, but if it will be more then 9, it will still work but will show a different # in hint
so because of that i use 9

btw, you dont have to change it to any new pair - since you have it set up, you can use it on unlimited amount of pairs with no problem (because ea will also check for Symbol() at any order)

yeah, you have a real mess here, restart your terminal, load v4 only on lets say 3 pairs and see what happen.

from your current log i can realize that you reloaded ea many times and during some earlier session got orders opened and after changed magic #s, in this case you will get an unpredictable result

BECAUSE EA CAN LOCATE ORDERS WITH PRESET MAGIC #S ONLY
SO ANY OTHER ORDERS WILL BE IGNORED

Let me ask you a dumb question:

Does the EA sells too? Because in 7 days there are only BUY orders in my account history...

Hi guys.

I've been a user of Geoff's EA for a few weeks now and on his other thread and becuase of the success with that I decied to try this.

I read the whole thread and decided to try this on different pairs on demo just to see how it works (GU MA's were not in consolidation so wont get a trigger today).

It seems to have worked well in market order mode and actually baged some healthy pips.

On Pending order mode, it created three sell stop orders on USDCHF (using the pair for testing only). The issue is that when I deleted the orders, the EA recreated them again. I did it again with the same result.

Apart from taking the EA off the chart, is there another way to remove the pending orders if I decide against them?

Also, do you guys think it is best to use pending or market orders?

Many thanks in advance.

What if we place BUY LIMIT 30-40 (pips below) ((Maybe even trail Buy LIMIT up in case pair going higher straight away

but still, we going to grab lower swing rather than higher)) and just wait till it gets hit

and in 80% cases it will, same as BUY STOP, the only difference is

for Buy stop we paying premium and for Buy Limit we actually collect

the premium..

well lets see here :

take three cases in july where ea took losses:

-- first :

On Pending order mode, it created three sell stop orders on USDCHF (using the pair for testing only)....
Zr-fx, this is a new version of ea which combines indicator and ea into one file. in previous version there were 3 additional scripts to add and delete orders, but for now this option disabled because i would like to make sure everything works fine and later add it.

anyway, you have only 2 possible scenarios in Pending orders mode :
-- if Manual mode chosen, you can press Yes to place trades or No to reject it (and ea will ignore current signal and will wait until next signal change)
-- if Manual mode not chosen,you simply have no other option because for ea this choice means you are agree to place orders anytime when a new signal will come

so if you want to take more control, do that as gerry does - PlaceMarkerOrders = false and ManualMode = true

not a problem

new stuff will be added as soon as everybody is happy with the current beta version

also, sky said about using them together, but you try to say that user has to choose either but not both?

Both is definitely the best as long as there are no conflicts in coding.

can you tell me when it shows that (before/after close 1 order, while modifying to b/e or while trailing 2 and 3 orders) or give me a piece of log messages?
error description says : "OrderModify attempts to replace the values already set with the same values. "
looking at my yesterday's log i could not find any repeating records so far...
