Your EurUsd price feed is 4 digits, not 5.

Spread is higher than usual = 1 pip.

This ea has been designed to work on 5 digit brokers.

Next ea version will support 4 digit brokers.

EA always checks spread. If spread is higher than your default MaxSpread= 0.5 , no pending orders will be opened.

Timnyman94,

Don't forget to change it to 09:00.

And also check your EurUsd spread . It should be smaller than the value of MaxSpread (default 0.5)

Sorry I had to go out for an hour. What do you mean by this/

how do you change your spread. I've no idea
here is a picture of my settings for your EA.
I'm sorry for wasting your time.
I have been trading this system manually. But would like an EA just for backup and yours seems to be all singing and dancing just what I need. For when I cannot manually trade. This system.
Thank you.

Your spread is too high. You can still use the ea by adjusting MaxSpread setting.

For better spreads, check icmarkets, pepperstone, onetrade.

Ea external variable settings, MaxSpread = 0.5 (default value)

Please read post #372 @ page 19.

And current ea version is 05. strongly advised to use latest version.

Today is a very good example to show the negative effect of high spread.

EurUsd price has moved upwards, touched SL @ 1.0685 and continued to rise up till 1.06892 and returned back.

If you took the second recovery trade, your buystop @ 1.06900 would be triggered if EurUsd spread was higher than 0.8.

Ok! i'll give it a go for tomorrow then!

Spread should have been lower.. but i just thougt that the "MaxSpread" was just so it adjusted the SL and TP to fit!

0.5 is the standard you have set, but mine is moving alot "avg spread is like 0.4" but higher / lower depending on time of day.

So should i just safe, put it at 1.0? what happens to the trades then..? do i get 11 pips TP and 14 pips SL?

And thanks for taking your time to help us monkeys who can't figure these things out by ourselves!

MaxSpread is an insurance to protect trades from the negative effect of high spread.

It won't change your tp & sl.
