Hello All:
I'm having a problem with a trade management EA provided to me by the head of a small, private trade group. The guy is a great trader but not a programmer. The EA was written by someone else; I have permission to post it for review.
This is a simple trade manager that does this: Places OCO's and takes profit at three different levels moving the stops at TP2.
I also would like to note that while I'm no programmer, I do have a fair amount of experience using EA's and seldom make rookie mistakes.
Here's my problem...
The first couple of days the EA worked fine for me. Then it just stopped. What I mean by this, is that when it is waiting to place the orders the chart text will read the entry levels for both orders, then when a trade is opened it will show the profit or loss. When the trade is closed it will say "Not looking for a trade right now"
What is happening now is when I place the the parameters, they will show on the chart, but when the price reaches the point to open a trade it will immediately switch to "not looking for a trade right now". This happens no matter how many times I remove and reset the EA.
A few notes:
This first happened on an IBFX demo when they changed their order method to ECN type. I have tried it on other brokers, with the same result.
After using the EA for a day or so, I went in and changed the coded stops to work with 5 digit so I wouldn't have to do this every time I used it. I then changed the filename, compiled it and tried to use it, and that's when this problem started.
I went back and deleted my file and got a new original from the provider and yet this problem persists. I have tried installing the new file on several different brokers and the result is the same. There are others using this EA just fine, on 4 and 5 digit brokers.
The problem seems to be on my end..any idea's? This is a Vista computer, BTW
