Hey guys, wondering if someone can explain what is going on with my stop loss situation on my demo account that I am live trading with Oanda. I am wondering if this problem is on the side of Oanda, or Metatrader.
My custom EA strategy has a 25 pip stop loss built into it, but it is becoming quite common that the stop loss gets placed much further away from my order entry than the 25 pips (see attach). Also, when I go to manually change the value, the program does not allow it. And then, the stop loss was less than the 25 pips (see attach).
Another problem, I have had a few situations where no stop loss at all was initiated (see attach).
All kinds of crazy order executions are occurring. I am also testing on Alpari, and these problems are not happening there. How reliable is Oanda at trading with MT4 EA; these occurrences are not giving me any confidence.
Any thoughts?
Thanks CH
