I'll have a think about that. At the moment, the overriding logic is that if a signal occurs from the previous bar and there are no open trades, a trade confirmation can be given. I have a think about overriding that. Possibly there could be other ...

The explanation regarding the extra trades on a bar longer than the TP, is that a new trade will opened if there are no open trades. In the case you mention, the TP has been fulfilled and the same conditions still exist so a new trade is opened. ...

EDIT - still working on this but will have to wait until market open for further testing.

I can see your point. Tried it myself and 1 pending trade was left. I'll look into this more closely and may not be able to get back to you until later in the day because it is 1.10 am here.

When the CloseTrades EA activates, it should cancel ALL trades including pending trades. At that point it places a dummy buy limit to prevent any further trading and that should be the only pending trade showing. Maybe the orphaned trade to which ...

Sorry. I just realised I was only looking at the bottom chart. There is a very simple answer to your problem. You haven't deleted the dummy buy limit order so the CloseTrades EA must have done it's job.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I noticed the same and have just found the error that I made when trying to get the new strategy out in time for London open. I do appreciate your early advice You'll need to re-download from Post #1

Enclosed is an equity curve example referred to in Post #339. The quick jump up of the red line was the EA closing down all trades because the profit had reached the Take Profit from a starting balance of 8500. (I set 150 for TP and SL) I restarted ...

If your news release is 9:15 am you would put 9 in the NewsHour1 input. If you set 0, that would mean the news release was at 12:15am MT4 time. I don't know where your server is situated, but the most MT4 installations are plus 2 not minus 2 for the ...

The news hour as well as the news minute needs to be nominated. If you leave the setting at -1, the news filter will be ignored. The MT4 offset with the Pivot Filter is the time that your MT4 displays relative to GMT. So if the time is 11am on your ...

Today is exactly 1 month from thread opening and a lot of ground has been covered and my next gift is an actual trading strategy. At times I have been exasperated by the lack of meaningful input and the excessive demands. There are a few loyal ...
