Hi, newdigital and mrtools,

Thank you for advising.

Hi, mrtools,

Please see the live trades below. Same problem of SL=TP and positions not closing in profit. Tried 1.63 to 2, problem the same.

Where is the bug?

Thanks for debugging.

Hi, mrtools,

my setting is from posting #4090.

The following shows some trade series show the bug, some normal in the same testing.

Well, the EA is unsafe to use unless the bug can be removed.

Do you agree?

In your last 3 images your pip spacing is not the same, are you manually changing your pip setting, because almost certain Newdigital's settings have pips = 20, yours are different spacing.

ps) Rechecked your images and your main pip step is either 4 or 5, this is why you are having this problem, if you change it to 20 and leave it there, should be good.

 

hi mrtools,

i have a question, too. but about the trailing stop.

i let the EA run on different demo accounts with different settings. i also try one version of the EA withoutmartingale to see, if it's profitable, too. i set a trailing stop of 20 pips, but the trailing stop never worked so far. please see the screenshot. the eur/usd pair is 22 pips in profit, but the S/L doesn't change. attached you find also my settings for this EA. maybe you can see why this isn't working?

many thanks!

Hi, mrtools,

Please see below. Pips at 20, bug still there. Your testing statements don't show this bug? I tried two computers, two broker platforms. The bug is always there.

Thanks.

Will change out the trailing stop tonight when i get home, Thanks Forexjim and SnowyHH.
