Hi all,
Is it possible to request a fix to the Alert line becoming stuck underneath an Open order line on the chart?
The workaround is to go to Terminal>Alerts>Symbol>Modify and then manually amend the price level of the Alert line to shift it. However, this is quite time consuming and often I find myself just closing the open trade (not ideal).
This issue appears to be fixed in MT5. The Alert line uses "Stop Levels" instead of the "Ask Line" (seen in the Color options). Alerts set at the same price as Open orders do not get stuck.
Also if it is possible, can Alerts remember the last setting used as Default? (Example - Action / Expiration / Iterations / Timeouts remembering last user input settings). This would be very useful for managing / creating many alerts across multiple symbols and save a lot of time.
Cheers
