bunch of ibs formed, I do believe that on Go Markets platform at least, a daily net gain of 5% would have been achieved...

Good morning,

First winner today 25 min ago......
hai cail, my first IB signal today was a lost, as the attached pic
mind if I ask what broker you are using, I am using instaforex

edit:
from the pic below, you could see that its not clasify as an entry
what happen was I set a sell stop below the signal candle
but the sell stop was executed even when the next candle's low didnt went through it?
has anyone experience anything like this before?

Hi Caillou,
Are you using the EA or manually entering at Market price?

Hi,

Sure, brokers differences, I have the same IB candle but bullish for me (red arrow). See attached picture.
I´m using Admiral Markets Pro Account.

Hi Caillou,

I´m not using the EA right now because it is a demo account, and my demo account doesn´t allow pending orders at less than 5 pips away from market price, so I enter manually.
If the system goes ok, I will use the EA with my live account (Pro Account) with no limit for pending orders.

hi Ananthhh here's the screenshot with the inputs you suggested.
check this out in tools options of your mt4 platform.
If its not replicating the picture, then tick and un-tick the necessary options.

Cheers

If you are sure that you put sell stop then better change the broker.

That should be a bullish candle. I don't why it is showing as bearish. Since close of previous candle matches with close of IB candle. Open of IB candle is above the close of previous candle.This is strange.

hmmm seems I had the confirm DLL function calls ticked... unticked it now - maybe this was the culprit!

ay caramba,, just realized that i've made a very stupid mistake
I'm used to use HA candles with all the colors, so I forgot how to read clean /normal candlestick (my usual template for using this IB is also colored, but today I'm using normal candlestick and add the indicator )
thank you cail, if you didnt post your chart, maybe I'll spend the rest of the day taking the wrong direction

btw, I'm still curious as why my sell stop got taken out even when its not supposed to? hmm, maybe if this continue, I'll cosider changing my broker

*PS: sorry if my grammar is far from perfect

thx again cail and ananthh

maybe your broker has a high spread?

I already factor that into consideration
but its not the case, the spread is 3 pips, yet the range between the next candle's low and my sell stop was 5 pips?
I guess I'll have to wait and see whether this continue or not

For now:

EUR/USD: Win, Loss, Win
GBP/USD: Win, Win, Win (I´m testing this pair too, hope you don´t mind Trumpcard)

have just put in an update, something I forgot to mention earlier.

If the inside bar has the same open and close, then a pending order is placed in the direction of the previous bar's close

Do you have pending orders at 0.5 pips from High/Low of IB?

the EA isn't placing any pending orders. Maybe it's some small checkbox I have incorrectly ticked somewhere, but the EA smiley face is appearing in top right of my screen! Only thing that appears in the journals tab related to the EA is when it's loaded.
