More ECN quickfix for those who "can't wait for the next version"... — If the first fix is not enough, here is the "delay" fix as well: you might want to play with the "2000" (=2seconds) duration if it won't work... if (!brokerIsECN) ...

As you can see, your _broker time is at GMT+0, while you are at GMT+2; Charts are using Broker(=Server) time. You box is shifted 1 hour LATER than Mer's settings. You should subtract 1h from your box and session times settings (which i can't see on ...

1% risk may give you less than 0.01 lot result when the account margin is low. that's why it's trying to open 0.00 lots (this is due to rounding down to nearest 0.01 multiplier). You'll have to risk 2% (PER OPEN TRADE , that means 6% for the 3 ...

You are using the M1 chart to run the EA, which is fine. However, the EA uses the M15 data to determine re-entries. If the M15 data is incorrect, then the EA will not re-enter properly, and this is what we are seing here. Re-entries should occur ...

That was remaining from the LBO V1 EA, but could not be kept as per the strategy. I will use that code for trade #3 at least; perhaps also for trade #2; Knowing that a trailing/jumping stop can actually make the trade close at a lower price in case ...

How to add a "buffer" to the box edges — there is actually of way of doing this... it is not called "buffer" in the inputs (that's what you want: a "buffer" of 3-5 pips), but you can achieve that with the "LevelsResizeFactor". It ...

hi tazmaan, the report you posted shows a martingale_sequence being set to the what i called the "fibonacci_sequence", however the lot sizes in the report are definitely the "powers_of_2_sequence"... ?!? This is confusing... Have you changed the EA ...

i'll work this out, indeed, this is not satisfactory, it gives an unreliable behaviour and we definitely don't want this to happen, especially with the martingale enabled... SQ

there shouldn't be any difference in using M1,M5 or M15, as long as you use the "every tick" model. I figured that a possible reason why it doesn't work on M15 but does on M1 could be that your M15 history is incomplete perhaps. Not sure though... ...

hehe... too much steam up there makes things foggy sometimes i posted an earlier version, not the latest one, oops... It isn't far from the "correct" version, just a couple of inputs slightly changed names, and that "missing" ...

more and more strange.... ! i can't see why "every tick" model would generate error 131 and "control points" mode would not ! 1.00 lot is ok in any type of account, and the marketinfo script clearly shows 0.01 lots are allowed. ?!?!??? If anyone has ...

When TP1 is hit, trades 2&3 should be moved to BE+1, which is not being the case here. Sometimes the spread will make tarde 1 hit TP1, although price has not actually reached TP1, and therefore trades 2&3 will NOT be moved to BE. The journal will ...
