The Buy Stop has nothing to do with the Buy Limit: A DC will not open the position because if you buy from a Buy Bid + Min Bid, the result will be a distortion of the Buy Stop order below the minimum order placed by the DC. You will not be allowed to open due to the order being set close to the price. DT considers buy entry from the Ask - it's elementary... Min dist in currency + ask price = minimum buy stop order level - read textbooks.
The difference will only be the spread if you count from Bid or Ask. The only difference will be the spread, if you count from Bid (see example in the previous post). That is, if buy is from Bid, then + middling+spread. And if from Ask, then + only the middling.
Yes, yes, yes, I agree, I hurried myself, my apologies... Nevertheless, in the real market: (Ask + only myndist + "buffer")
... set an additional "buffer" to enter the market and everything will be OK. :-)))
What should be the value of the "buffer" ?
I think - a few pips in the deposit currency, try it, eventually you will come up with a figure yourself experimentally, enter it as an external variable and see changing it in the Expert Advisor on its performance in the real market.

Roman, thank you very much ! I'll give it a try, I used to put "buffer" at 1 point - didn't help.
1 is not much, of course. A lot depends on the broker on its speed of execution of your orders, depends on the speed (of the Internet) of your orders to the broker, probably also on "something" on the real account that we (I) have no idea about. Slava wrote about how his broker cut his pipsaur (by means of so called "individual approach" to a client) increasing the min dist from 2,3 points to 18 - 20 points, see a branch here https://forum.mql4.com/ru/37451/page10...
I want to analyse a year or two of history to get an idea of what time of day is the most volatile
What does "allow import from external experts" mean in the menu?
What does "allow import from external EAs" mean in the menu?
As I understand it, it means e.g. number of EAs trading on one account in the process of working with each other.
it means, if this quantity exceeds 10, then even in spite of fulfillment of conditions for opening another position by any EA, the position will not open, because this limit is exceeded, of course, this condition should be set in each trading EA. The EAs exchange parameters using global variables - and this option of importing parameters from an external EA is used to do it. Although... it is possible that some parameters can be transferred from some other EA from different trading account... Check documentation and help - it's all there.
