I've made a backtest.

If pending orders are triggered before London open, probability to hit your take profit increases, if triggered after London open, probability to hit your stop loss increases.

So, I'm deciding to add PendingOrdersLifeSpan = 1 (unit is bars) setting in next version.

So, if one of the pending orders won't be triggered till the end of this current 1h candle, I will delete the pending orders manually.

I forgot to say,

with setting EmphasizeCommission set to false, probability to hit TP is higher than the probability to hit BE.

Frankly to say , don't know since i don't trade during news.

Or in other words, speaking for EurUsd, if spread is higher than 2.0, i don't open any positions.

I have a long order bought @ 1.0591.

I have been watching M15 200SMA. I'll add new longs, if price touches and retraces from that MA.
