“have some problems” is meaningless — just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires — meaningless.

Be precise and informative about your problem -
You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid. Pending Buy Stop orders become market orders when hit and open at the Ask.
-
Your buy order's TP/SL (or Sell Stop's/Sell Limit's entry) are triggered when the Bid / OrderClosePrice reaches it. Using Ask±n, makes your SL shorter and your TP longer, by the spread. Don't you want the specified amount used in either direction?
-
Your sell order's TP/SL (or Buy Stop's/Buy Limit's entry) will be triggered when the Ask / OrderClosePrice reaches it. To trigger close to a specific Bid price, add the average spread.

The charts show Bid prices only. Turn on the Ask line to see how big the spread is (Tools → Options (control+O) → charts → Show ask line.)
Most brokers with variable spreads widen considerably at end of day (5 PM ET) ± 30 minutes. My GBPJPY (OANDA) shows average spread = 26 points, but average maximum spread = 134 (your broker will be similar).

Saying "not profitable" is meaningless. Same as saying "this code doesn't work".
That strategy may work well for a distinct security or timeframe, or a specific season of a year.

It's funny to see egos posting messages. Why good coders can't communicate more peacefully, any idea ?

A coders girlfriend on the phone with him: "Darling, on your way home, please stop by at the groceries and get us 10 eggs, if they have bread, then 6 please.
He shows up at home having 6 eggs....
I suppose thats the reason for "unkind" communications. But I do recognise that trait in you too. Maybe you have it more under control than I do.
