All your trades are open, and hedged. You'll have to manually close them all, and the EA will start over automatically from that point. It could be the trades are too close together, so you can change the gridlevel setting to 10 or 20, if you want. ...

oh no! any open trades are in jeopardy because the market will have moved a lot. I recommend looking into a VPS, which is a reliable remote server that runs 24\7. Then you can turn off your laptop whenever you want, and not worry about crashes. ...

jpdlegault...that error is ok, sorry if it's annoying. it's caused by the EA trying to place pending orders right next to current price, but the broker won't allow it, the EA will still place the other pending orders, and it will work normally. I ...

image It does not mean that...The EA should not close trades unless the equity target is reached. That said, the EA does have a setting for equity loss closing all trades when they have hit a equity loss target, but that is 9999, which is the same ...

...very good! time will tell I think the loss problem has something to do with something lagging. Having calculated TP and SL so trades would close on broker's side will solve this, it's just a big undertaking to implement.

~Kosmo ...I'm stumped. I know the coding on the EA isn't the problem, or this problem would appear on every trade set. My guess is somehow the broker manipulated the floating equity level, or something along those lines...??? My EA closed all trades ...

What about us USA traders that want higher than 1:50 leverage? More like 1:500, not because we want bigger trades, but because we want the most free margin possible? What would your spread look like on XAUUSD? Could you get the server setup nextdoor ...

Start up FX broker with 0.1 spread - who wants to join?

Do you think it was just really close to target when price went over $1208? Or did it go well past 2%? The only thing I can think of is commissions. When I traded manually, it wasn't with this system at all. I was only using that example to point ...

That loss is what surprised me! It will only close trades once target is reached, but it doesn't account for commissions, which, if you have enough trades open at 0.03 a trade, still doesn't add up to over $100. My guess is there was some kind of ...

Yep...I see your trades finally closed, since the market finally made up it's mind to breakout. I'm really curious to see why it shows a significant loss...maybe the market whipsawed back down after the initial spike up? I wasn't watching it live, ...

Sorry, girl! hard for me to tell! Ok, after looking at your statement, it's even more amazing to me the amount of profit! It looks like the opened orders are closing within 3 seconds, so that's actually quite good. It's the pending orders that are ...

Please don't take this the wrong way, because I really appreciate your help and taking initiative to improve the system. I don't think you'll be able to use backtesting at all for this. I do agree with your idea to start with a lot less trades, I ...

You can try emailing the broker, but I've never had the password they responded with work. Otherwise you can start over... Here is a broker summary of this session's trades, I boxed in the times to be easier to read (why do they cram it so ...

Is the orphan trade still not able to be closed manually, like the last one? If so, the platform or broker has some weird problem. I think a closeable orphan trade could happen, like kashtrader said, if a pending order is opened while the opened ...

You might be able to see if it "boxes in" backtesting, but it might not be able to really show you because the backtest won't be able to close the trades when they would close in forward trading. It's just the way it is. But, we can get around ...

Right, at the end of my blabbering there, I said it doesn't really affect this EA the way I have it setup. ah, you're catching on! It is better to take quick, smaller profits, even if it means a little less money at the end of the month...then we ...
