Why did the first trades series close before TP1 ? Did you close them manually ? The EA will look for opening opportunities when "today" trades are closed. It opens a new series if the previous M15 bar closed inside the box (as per Mer rules), and ...

0- "RTFM" (read the F@!$@ manual) first... it has most of the answers... 1- MagicNumber=0 means the EA will determine it for you, with different values for different pair/TF/"objPrefix" values. You can use 0 if you run the EA on different pairs, all ...

That could be a good idea. An input to specify at what position (factor?) within Entry~TP1 to move to BE would do it ? Something like "MoveToBEAtTP1Factor" = 0.66 ? Default would be 1.0, so we move to BE at TP1(*1.0). ? That's my roadmap for the ...

i do get the correct box when i set my box time to match yours... You are using the latest (v3.2a) version of the indi, as the previous one would not stick ANY box to the low side (the box next to your invalid one does stick to the low edge). The ...

The box and levels are drawn by the EA with the same values as the ones used to trigger trades. I cannot see why the EA would draw the box and levels differently than the trades it triggers. Another pix with the correct color scheme and showing the ...

I think i said the EA uses M15 data for re-entries which does not mean it needs to run on M15 chart. (quote me if i'm not remembering correctly) As long as the history data is correct, the EA should work fine on any timeframe charts (in "every tick" ...

Pardy, please use a white chart background to display the colors properly (F8 to set the colors). So you can actually see what the EA prints in the Comment area (up-left corner); In particular it shows the buy/sell entry prices and TP1 levels; You ...

I had that in mind as another option. I wanted to avoid adding a new input, and the code changes where very limited(=quick!). I might just as well recode it that way... thx SQ

with ECN brokerz, there's NO choice: trades MUST be sent with NO SL and NO TP, and then must be modified to setup the SL+TP. This leaves open any sort of "manipulation" you could imagine between those two non-atomic operations... like a fictive ...
