It closes on mine but very late or at the swap, which is a loss on mine.
Didn't happen on my real account but I don't have the funds to further forward test it on it.

I don't know what's wrong so far... And I hate that...because I would really like to use this on a real account. If it's working in a proper way it should give only gains or it should close at zero gain/loss. Are you using this on a real account?

This case is rarely happened at the settings which has lower gaps.
What I observed and happened was (this happened very quickly):
1. Say you have opened 0.1 lot buy, and 0.2 sell stop.
2. The 0.2 sell stop is touched by the current price.
3. At the moment 0.2 sell stop is touched and changed to sell, EA will create 0.4 buy stop.
4. The moment 0.4 buy stop is still in process, the price quickly retracted back to the area near (or higher than) 0.1 buy price.
5. EA throws errors in alert window. 0.4 buy stop failed to create, but the price is already moving to higher level and never came back.
6. System keeps throwing errors since the buy stop price is not created.

So this is how you got no stop order for your case, and opened orders never closes.

To fix this, is actually to set the gap higher (3 or 5 pips higher). This case never happened on Martingale SNR (trade explorer above), since the gap for it is 100 points (10 pips), and my broker's spread is 0.2 pips (2 points).
Please test it first on your demo acc, for at least 1 month. Try to pass everything, red news, yellow news, or NFP. See what's the best settings for you.

I know still a lot of room to improve this EA better. But don't be rush with live account.

This is what I called as risk...
1, 2, 4 is a bad combination actually. Finally reached the limit (in a bad way), no margin left to open new order, was in the bad position.

This is why I don't like to encourage people to use 1, 2, 4 series.

Hai radityo. I test based on Fixed points target types but I think there's a problem.
Why the trade close when it's not hit your TP point?
I filled the the Point target 250 and Point stop loss 250 (5 Digits).
The second one is max cycle. I filled the max cycle 1 but it keeps open trade.

Let me check that out, bro. But I hope you didn't run any other EA / Indicators together with my EA.
Because this same kind of thing was happened to a bro, and I was scratching my head. Turned out that this bro ran a different EA which does closing trade before time.

Hi radityo.ardi

I know you have already given your valuable time to this thread but if you have any spare time please can you add one feature that EA must activate when price reaches on given price. Suppose I want EA to activate at price "e.g. 1.3450".

Thanks

Noted. I haven't got much time lately last week and this week.
Actually have planned to release v1.09, but got stucked up since I want the big change also included in that version.

I'll take your idea up, will release it at v1.10+.

{quote} what is the safest series to use?
Safest?
Sequential number series is the safest: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....
This can be achieved by setting up operation to "Add" and Martingale: 1.
But that comes with another risks, the cycle will be very hard to close if you stuck up on sideways / ranging market. The longer the martingale index is (count of opened order), the target will be very hard to achieve. But this still (logically) can be avoided by widening the gap (standard gap is normally 10 pips).

If you see on top of this thread, see Martingale SNR there? That is using 1.5 modifier with operation of Multiply, (instead of standard modifier which is 2). So, this will produce 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 8...
The Martingale Anytime using Gaps of 30 points, while Martingale SNR using the standard gaps which is 100 points.

rad, Hey i keep getting error messages when I run the EA. Says..."Invalid Stops" Thanks, Jl29
Common issue when you set the gap too low.
You need to identify on which digits you are on. If on EURUSD you have price such as 1.08933, then that's 5 digits, and for 10 pips = 100 points. If your average spread is around 15 points, minimum gaps you can set is around 50 points.
Having that configured as 50 points doesn't mean it will free of "invalid stops" error. Ocassionally will throw error, since your broker is having dynamic spread (check this with your broker).

So as I said before, the safest gap is around 10 pips (100 points in 5 digits).

Your Autotrading options is not turned on. Click Tools > Options.

Be careful, your pair seems to be in 5 digits. So, 1 pip refer to 10 points.

Hi Ardi,
Another error. Could it be due to slippage turn off?
Due to this error, it resulting few orders open due to unknown error.
I observe one thing, after adding this EA into the chart and didn't turn on the auto-trading, error "Trade is not allowed in EA" keep pop-up. Are you exprienced it?

hmm... your case seems new to me. But I think that's due to the closing price is not updated to the latest. So I think (probably) slippage would help that. Just try it out but honestly I have no answer for that.

Yes, the error will always be shown until you turn on auto-trading.
