Yes indeed using BUY LIMIT, I choose BUY STOP today and wait the pair to retrace down bellow the order then I will do BUY STOP order when the pair goes up again. this will bring you more safe trader and will avoid false signal that happen at first hit ( like if you use LIMIT ORDER )

Thanks! I agree your view......
Anyway I try to write EA but I have a doubt: buy stop valueis with spread value or without spread value?
For example: I have 3 pips spread on G/U and if you tell buy stop .9867 I must set .9867 or .9870?
I hope to write a good EA............
Love your idea with EA, here my suggest, we are assume this EA based on MT4 platform, since MT4 use BID value as order entry, then
for BUY position you should adjust only TAKE PROFIT value according to the spread (4pips are common ) and for SELL position just adjust the STOPLOSS value.
paijolopez (and not pablo ):
I don't understand, don't you enter a LIMIT ORDER AT 9767?
Or do you wait for price to come to 9767 and then BUY STOP at 9787???
I'm a little confused, sorry

I'm a little confused, sorryMy trading plan at my blog clearly said BUY STOP, so you have to wait until price going down bellow order, and then when it retrace back up, then you just can do BUY STOP order there,
hope this help

Depend on your broker MT4 platform, they will allowed you to make pending order with the distance 5 - 15 pips to running pair, so you should check your broker platform rules.
