Are there any stats on using this in Manual vs Auto mode?

I have have been doing great in manual, but with work schedules, cannot watch much.

Has it been doing well in Auto mode as well?

Hi VEEDUB. Nice name. As i stated on a previous post my settings are 22 26 28 with a stop loss of 140 as Geoff has tested for best results. I have been using the auto mode the last few days. Some times I trade with only 2 trades and then I use 22 28.

i will do that
just curious how to identify this option in pop up menu
I would Identify that Option as following:

"Limited_Order_Spread" = False/True

If true (Additional Menu Items / Properties)

"Limited_order_2" = 20 (specifying distance from the original Market order #1)
"Limited_order_3" = 40

If True (Then "pendingOpenStep" should be disabled)

If "Limited_Order_Spread" = False

then

Limited Buy Orders placed as they are now based on "pendingOpenStep" Option.

it opens a number of trades which you set up in the OpenOrders value

Hello!

To Sashasan:

Can you add a new function?
So
The EA sets ONLY ONCE market order (orders)
for the duration of the signal ENTER TRADE NOW, and then the system would be waiting the next signal (ENTER TRADE NOW).

Now this:
If the EA has established market order (orders) when the signal appeared ENTER TRADE NOW, that when a TP, EA once again set the market order during this ENTER TRADE NOW.

I have tried changing the moving averages in the EA and it does not seem to have an effect on the operation.

Are the moving averages of 10 and 197 hard coded in the EA or should changing the moving average period on the EA change results?

Thanks and as always - I admire you patience and your ability with code...

so you think if you choose OpenOrders = 1 ea will do something different from what you describe?
i mean it could be if market moves very fast, opens an order, closes it and if all this happened during the same m5 candle (when fractals situation is still the same), it could enter again, but in real situation i dont remember this to be a usual case
also, you can manipulate it with ManualMode = true and press No on the pop up box before open a new (duplicate) trade

For manual mode all good
It is necessary for the automatic mode and markets orders (PlaceMarketOrder=TRUE)
For example, If I set TP = 10, for one phase "ENTER TRADE NOW" I see a few deals, but need only one (the first).

Sasha, after trying out v4.2 I found that "place buy or sell script v3.5" does not work on this version. Are you gonna put out new buy/sell script v4.2?

And one more suggestion if possible - to allow user to put in price for limit orders.

Thanks.

It is very important, since the next (duplicate) trade may be detrimental.

Sasha, please stay focus Too much useless questions again..

We need this EA to be simple as possible...

#1 Original Geo Trigger Method (Fractals)
#2 Buy/Sell Stop Orders Options (with trailing)
#3 Or Buy/Sell Limit spread Options (No trailing)

And concentrate on Testing for a while to identify bugs,

if any..
