Important: do not have more than one EA enabled for the same symbol with scheduled orders enabled. This might cause more than one order being sent to broker!
I edit from 2 stars to 5 stars as the owner fixed the EA regards to the 5th decimal point. Would be perfect if he add field to put in commission charged per lot as well.

I like this ea interface very much. but there is problem with the 5th decimal place of currency price. for example for 4.9 pips SL distance, it will see as 4.0 pips. not just the display but it use 4.0 pip in the lot calculation too instead of using 4.9 pips. For the EA to use 4 pips is very misleading, instead of 4.9
The ea neglects the point (5th decimal place). this is a big deal for me as I like to trade lower time frame. I hope the owner will fix this because I still like the interface of this ea very much. giving this a 2 star is not what I enjoy doing because otherwise is 5 stars. The owner respond to my questions everytime which is very nice. but correct risk calculation is the heart of this.
