It's usually when the price changes in between the time when the EA sends an order and the server actually processing it.

I've not looked at the code but it may just need to RefreshRates() before sending orders or possibly send the orders in a retry loop until it succeeds.

Regards, Paul.

Thanks for the answer Paul. I have had trade context busy errors and the order seems to be resent. I have never seen this error before.

I will see if it comes up again.

I received the following message "order send failed with error(136) off quotes" this evening when the EA attempted to trade USDCHF.

Can anyone tell me what it means ?

Usually slippage takes care of that, which is "10", the price must have moved more than that, I haven't seen that error come up before.

Seller9,

Great work on the EA. What are your thoughts about the reversals that happen sometimes? Is there any way that you can add an option to have entry after candle penetrates the 5 and closes? If not, some kind of recovery option would be nice to cut back on the loss...

I know nothing about coding, hope this isnt asking to much.

I've seen it more on some brokers than others, does it call RefreshRates() before calculating the order values, esp. if it is retrying for several seconds they go out of date or beyond the slippage if price is moving fast.

Regards, Paul.

Good morning all. Just an update.

From 00:00 last evening through 8:00 this morning I missed three trades due to time-outs. As this has never happened to me with this EA before, I am guessing that it is broker related and not due to any changes made in V7. EA did execute a trade at 8:10 on EURCHF. PA still hovering around the entry point, so no real news to report.

My current settings:

gen=----General inputs----
Lot=0.01000000
TakeProfit=0
TPmultiplyer=60
StopLoss=0
SLmultiplyer=100
ZoneMultiplyer=30
UseLastFractalSL=1
FracOffset=5
TdiCloseONcross=1
TdiCloseONflat=0
TdiCloseONneg=1
UseSlope=4.00000000
UseCounterTrend=1
TdiTradeOpenTimeFrame=5
MagicNumber=0
TradeComment=TMS V7
CriminalIsECN=1

Here is a question that I have not been able to answer for myself. Any guidance would be appreciated.

EA took a trade earlier this morning. All signs would tell me that this position could have some legs. I have the EA take profit set to 60 X ATR and the SL set to 100 X ATR. Seems to me that I should move the take profit, but it also make some sense that the EA should be able to move the TP target. Have I missed something in the settings?

I think we could use the BE stop loss settings to some degree to address my question. Has anyone played with the Break Even stop loss settings ? In my other EA it has settings that allow the TP and trailing stop loss to be moved by a few pips as the PA approaches, and provides for the move to be done a number of times.

any ideas?

The EA can do all what you said.
you just need to set it as you want.
This is a trade taken today and it is still on going.
It as moved to BE.and if it continues in positive it will set in motion the Trailing stop.

I hope this helps.

Cheers.

You can change time frames if you like but the bot is hard coded to only do caluculations from the H4 time frame. When you move between time frame be sure to select "yes" if you are using the take one trade option to get the bot looking for a trade, otherwise it will be suspended.

EA took a nice trade on the pound/franc for 30 pip on the 30m chart with an entry slope of 3.5 and exit on TDI cross.
Did you know the profiteers like their money green?

I tried but couldn't locate the set file in my program file,maybe you can tell me how to do it.
I used view hiding files and even tried to paste it on word.but all didn't work.
