Hi everyone, I just got this new EA and I installed it without problems, except for one! Every time I edit the Inputs and click Ok and re-open them again they are set back to defaults!

This can not possibly be a new problem but I have not found a good solution searching. I am "porting" an MT4 EA that takes 4 positions, theLimit for a last one running a trailing stop. This is straightforward in MQL4 So I start with opening a position "Buy" with 0.8 lots, stoploss entered, no...
