{quote} That only gives current ask, not historic . As I understand it Titanmelvin wanted ask at 11:30 EET
Hi Alex, I am using the Alpari Micro account. There was a spike when the UK CPI was released earlier today. I can't seem to find the historical prices for the Ask price on Metatrader 4. Could you please check what was the high(Ask) for GBP/JPY & EUR/JPY at 1130 EET? Thank you
Alex

The execution type on your Live Micro account will be changing from instant execution to market execution on Sunday 1 June 2014.
Please note that you do not need to take any action and that any open positiUKons you have are unaffected.
What is market execution?
When you place a market execution order you will never be requoted, because your order is automatically filled at the next available price in the market.
You should also be aware that stop loss and take profit levels can only be set once a trade is opened, because the entry price could change before the position is opened.
No more news trading at Alpari UK. Any other broker?

EA's won't set stop loss and take profit. You won't be able to set stop loss before putting and order on, only after.
Alpari, you have lost me as a customer and I am sure you will loose more. Bad move. Very bad move.

If you’re an EA user -> You place the Order with SL and TP set to 0.0 and then OrderModify() to place the SL & TP.
For example
void OnStart()
{
int TrailingStop=50;
//--- modifies Stop Loss price for buy order №12345
if(TrailingStop>0)
{
OrderSelect(12345,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
if(Bid-OrderOpenPrice()>Point*TrailingStop)
{
if(OrderStopLoss()<Bid-Point*TrailingStop)
{
bool res=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(Bid-Point*TrailingStop,Digits),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Blue);
if(!res)
Print("Error in OrderModify. Error code=",GetLastError());
else
Print("Order modified successfully.");
}
}
}
}
If you trade manually -> You can try setting a Pending Order instead, then you will be able to set the TP & SL at the time of placing the Order
