Need EA programmer to fix EA features that don't work sometimes

I'm looking to pay someone to review an EA and fix any potential issues. I want to add one small feature which is mentioned in this thread: https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...50#post9564450 - but more importantly, I think something is wrong with this EA because the features don't always work.

For instance, sometimes when a trade is opened, it doesn't create TP/SL lines even though I have the EA set to do so. Sometimes one of the close methods doesn't work, either. The moving average filter also seems to have issues.

The thing is, I can apply the EA to a chart, leave it alone - let it open and close trades without ever opening the EA or touching anything and one of the features will stop working, like the TP/SL lines won't be created when a trade opens. It seems really weird.

I can pay with Paypal. PM me if you're interested. The EA is attached in the linked thread above.

Thanks.

Its a very complex EA - I just took a very quick look at the drawing routine, looks ok to me. But I had not enough time to test it - and the market is closed at the moment to test.

Did you change the magic number for every pair you use this EA? Because the drawing routine needs different MagicNumber for each pair to work.

I would only have it open on one pair on one time frame. It will work correctly for most trades, but then consistently it will not set the TP/SL lines or one of the close methods won't work even though nothing has been touched with the EA. It hasn't been opened or changed inbetween the time it worked correctly and stopped working. I don't get it, especially not setting the TP/SL lines, it seems so weird.

The "drawing" routines are only used to draw open time/price and close time/price of closed trades. There are no drawing of TP/SL lines in the EA.

The order send routine is divided into 2 parts (bet for ECN brokers), so the first opens the order and the second set the TP/SL. When no "TP/SL" Lines appear the second part is failed and the order still has no TP or/and SL, thats why the terminal also doesn't paint the lines for that. Look out for order send errrors (bet that the main reason will be stop level violations error #130).

Overall the EA is a mess and very unstructured. To modify that it's "cheaper" to build it fresh with better control structures and logic.
