I set sl 40 pips but the ea set more than 40 pips. What must be responsible for this?

All your Stop Losses appear to be behaving normally in that they reflect the current lowest position plus the stop loss value. I notice you are not using the most current version.

I would need much more detail than you provide, such a copy of your set file, the relevant trade log and the applicable chart. Don't forget to take into account the spread.

In relation to the credit card details, that is your choice. You will need to provide credit card details to Amazon, to be able to use their free VPS service. After 1 year they will start charging unless you cancel.

Thank you for that,
this also happens when price hits the trailing stop. so are you saying that after a trade is triggered that i should deactivate the EA immediately? If thats the case wouldnt that stop the trail stop from working as well? thank you.

Hi Praetor,
Dave will respond to your question. Anyway, I guess you should use the continuous straddle strategy to experience such a outcome.

Hi Demalichcha, not at all, using the 5EMA shift by 2, breakout strategy with a fixed SL and a trailing stop scalping strategy. when price hits the trailing stop, the EA should wait for the following breakout of said EMA, but it doesnt, it immediately opens another trade. any suggestions.
thanks.

When you post a query, you need to provide all the relevant information such as a copy of your set file, the relevant chart and your trade log. It is impossible for me or any other poster to provide meaningful help when you withhold information and you are wasting our time.

If you would like help on this matter, please post a copy of your set file (with .txt extension to upload), a copy of the relevant chart and your trade log and I will endeavor to help you.

I repeatedly mention this but it appears that a few people do not take the time to read previous posts.

Not sure I understand your request. If you are talking about the Monthly service, I provide the .set file which you load into the EA which is attached to a chart.

{quote} The problem lies with the restart. When you restart MT4, all variable values within an EA are lost. On restart, the EA sees that you have passed your break even level and therefore sets your stop loss to breakeven and records the Profit Level at that point in time. Only after the profit level at that point in time has increased by 5%, will the stop loss be updated (because it looks at the profit level when the breakeven adjustment is actually made, which is the time of the restart). I have added some extra code in an attempt to recover the...
Hi dave, i'm still in trouble with trailing stop mechanism :-( ... only if I restart the MT4 platform the SL will be modified, do you suggest to use any additional script with trailing stop feature to workaround to this behaviour?

Please find attached set files I'm using for 3 currencies only.

Thanks for you precious help!!!

You have maximum risk percentage set to .2%
I presume you mean 2%

It was .2%, now changed to 2%, I have a demo account of 5000 with gear 1:100.

In general, I'd prefer to start with trades with a LotSize of 0.01, since that EA increase the size of the wager by StopLossMultiplier (with max risk percentage of 2%, initial lot size is 0.10) . I don't think exist a correlation between MaximumRiskPercentage and UseTrailingStopLoss.

Do you suggest to use LotSize only? I'd like to be sure trailing stop always properly work.

Thank you for your support!

Your statement does not make sense. Firstly .2% risk factor would need a minimum bank of $5000 to achieve a lot size of .01. The moment your bank goes under $5000 the next wager would be rejected. Secondly lot size has nothing to do with the overall cap of 20% of equity. You can start with .01 or 1.0 but the maximum bet size will always end at 20% of equity.

There is no problem with the trailing stop that I am aware of.
