Mulale, Ernesto,
Thanks for your suggestions.
However, I released VO-Pro back in February. People have had 5 months to offer suggestions now. There will be no more enhancements to version 2. It is now time that I packaged up the product and released a final version.

it may be a good idea to show the last order executed for a pending multiple TP/SL order (for instance in gray or black). Or simply the last order executed per currency traded? like an order trace...
Details of all orders created/modified/closed/deleted get written to the Orders Log.TXT file in the ...../experts/files folder.
and you may add a kind of alert if the stealth mode is not properly engaged to ensure the user that the order are executed in stealth mode?
For stealth mode to be "engaged", all that's required is that EAs are enabled and the Stealth Master EA is attached to ONE (i.e. any) chart. It is obvious if it's running because ALL orders get stealthed (their TP and SL immediately get set to 0 in the MT4 terminal).
You can add several orders, and then attach Stealth Master EA belatedly, if you wish. The EA will immediately stealth any unstealthed TPs and SLs that it finds.
The process that the EA performs (with each new tick) is as follows:
1. It checks the Terminal (Trades tab) for ALL open orders that have a non-zero SL or TP. It then zeros these, and stores the SL/TP levels internally (actually, as Global Variables).
2. It cycles through all of open orders to see if any have reached their stealth SL or TP, and if they have, immediately closes them.
3. It removes the GVs (both SL and TP) of all orders closed in step 2.
4. It writes all of the stealthed orders (ticket#, SL and TP) out to a file so that VOConsole can read them.
Apart from the stealth facility, VO does not monitor trades. There are dozens of free trade management EAs around (e.g. Steve Hopwood's), and also MYFX.
I might get around to adding management facilities at a later date - but this is likely to be several weeks, probably months, away; and will probably be a separate product. See post #391.

DislikedHi David, in the future can you put an option to trail the price behind the last bar? I use this type of trailing on 1 hour charts. As soon as current bar closes, the stop loss should be moved to the opening price of that bar.
Thanks, ErnestoIgnored
