RoelsMajor, for a short trade, when you move your SL or TP via mouse on the chart (which would place lines according to bid shown), does the EA you use place the new order at the bid also, or more correctly, does it place it at the ask (for a short trade)? Also, is the EA in .mq4 or .ex4 format?

The EA i am using does not place the orders anyway...I am using the scripts for open 2 orders at the same time...After we open orders, the EA take control TP and SL line according the sets on the scripts, so we can move lines quickly to trail SL and even you could trail TP...
Just give it a try

RoelsMajor, thank you for posting the files. Before I delve into them, can you answer one question? For a short trade, when you move lines on the screen, which would be placed according to Bid Price(as always), do the codes actually place the orders according to the Ask Price, which would be the correct thing to do for a short trade?

MT4) or automatic way (scripts)... If you do not pre-set the TP and SL (NO SL or TP) so there would be no lines...Before and After:

The EA can control both long and short trade by moving the lines... but for sure I just control one trade per chart and always using market orders that executed by scripts buy and sell, I do not understand the codes on the EA coz I am not an expert (coder) on this mql4---lang...The lines will be occur after you put SL and TP both manual (F9 thing
Before and After:
For a long trade, since entry, stop and exit prices are all in the trade long at bid prices (same as you placed them on the chart), there is no problem. But with short trades, we still place these items on the chart at the Bid Price (not the Ask Price), so there is a problem if these bid prices appear in the trade log when they should be the corresponding ask prices.
If you come to a determination on this, please let me know. I will eventually get to looking at the code, but since you use this stuff daily, you might want to check it out. You see, for a short trade, when you place a TP (for example) on the chart at some Bid Price, what appears as the actual Take Profit price in the MT4 trade log? If it is the same bid price as for your TP line, then the trade will not close when you intend because it won't close until the price drops even more such that the ask price reaches the level of your bid price line. If the MT4 trade log shows a higher Take Profit price than the Bid Price of your TP line (higher by the spread), then all is ok because your trade will exit soon as the bid price reaches your Bid Price TP line, not later when the ask price reaches drops down to the Bid Price TP line. Your trade could miss closing a your TP simply because even though the bid hit your TP bid price, the ask price (at which a short trade closes) never did,....a miss by just the spread, or even less, could cause your trade to fail to close at the optmimum area! So, this is worth checking and knowing if the code establishes the proper ask prices for your EP, SL and TP orders on short trades.
Thanks,
