I've loaded a fresh five years of ACAD. Have not found many profitable settings, yet -- not that this means much on lower TF. If anyone want me to run a reasonable set, please PM your desired settings or in the thread and I will post results.

Nothing can be done to maintain the old signals after restart.
Why do you need that anyway ?

Yes, there seems to be an issue. There were a conflict between Trailing Stop and Profit Lock in a specific code segment.
This is a quick fix. Please try and update me.

Nope, that didn't do it. Looks like the TS stop feature now kicks in the BE. I don't think the profit lock is working correctly as well. Break even looks like it is working. For those forward testing, correcting these will dramatically change trade results.

Please post your settings and I will back test to identify the issue.

Yes. But for this week Signal Time Frame is M30 and Trading Time Frame M5.
As for Close_all_trades it depends on previous loss on the day, I initially put it at 2%, if some trades closed in loss before target reached I increase the target.
Today I took 2 manual trades based on the indicator (chfjpy 0.15 and cadjpy 0.15) which fired before the EA (using same settings) but I closed them manually in small loss because the EA opened similar trades later.

I also intervened today by partial closing, and moving to BE.

shouldn't you lower TP settings with 5mn TF?

This should solve the profit lock issue.

Hi Abokwaik,
What are the factors that affect the open position for this EA ?
I have attached EA in 2 different brokers. But, 1 broker never opens any single position since I attach this EA in late last week.
I use version 6.4.1 with default setting (incl M5 & M30) and set file as provided by you.

Thanks

In testing, when the profit should lock in at 1000 points, it sets the SL to BE

You need to enable the trailing stop. So that the SL is trailed until it reached the Profit Lock, after that it stops trailing.
