problem closing trades

Hi,

I have been running v4.6 on a Demo account for a while now with a few currencies, including USDJPY. Now last week was an interesting week for that pair. I got an error which prevented to close the trades and protect my balance I guess.

this was what I got and it resulted in big losses.

Is this an issue with the broker, or is it a bug in the programming? Or better can this be prevented??

Thank you for this great EA. I have it running on my live account now and with limited risk, but not with USDJPY

Appears to be broker related. Try increasing the slippage setting in the EA properties.

 

Question About MM

Hi Iron,

I had a question regarding the MM logic in your code. If you start out with $250/pair and MM is set to TRUE, the starting lot size should be .01 on a mini account. Does the lot size increase as your equity increases? Will the starting lot size be .02 when you have $500, .03 when $750, etc.? Or does the initial deposit variable need to be increased manually based on your current equity?

Thanks for your help,

Yes, that is what MM is designed for!

Does the EA have to be restarted? For some reason the lots did not automatically adjust.

 

it shouldn't have to be restarted if mm is true

For some weird reason, it's not picking up the correct lot size based on my equity. Are there any other settings that would cause the lot size to be incorrect?

 

I want to say Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this ea. You have done a fine job.

I am reviewing the code of the current version, and I see that the TimeGrid variable is set at 2400 seconds.

What does it mean and how was it derived?
