🤔 EA is delayed because of manual trades

[davidmcc]

Hey there, I have created my EA to trade automatically at the New York open on Dow Jones (US30). The EA works flawlessly, so no issues there.

The issue I do have though is, if a manually opened trade is running on another pair (let’s say Gold, for example) during the New York open, the EA will not trade the Dow Jones (US30) until the manual trade is closed on Gold.

This creates an issue because the EA is waiting for the manual trade to be closed before starting its operation. I need the EA to trade specifically at 9:30 am, regardless of any other trades that are currently open.

How can I go about fixing this?

Thanks.

@davidmcc Do you have a no trade block checking manually opened and all symbols? If correct settings used another symbol won't affect another.

I do have no trade blocks, but not sure if they reflect what you mentioned. Here they are:

Edit: Should I change it to manually opened only?

Yes, change it to auto only. So it won't count the one you trade manually.

@davidmcc If you want it to act on manually placed trades change any symbol to specific and leave manual/auto as is, a combination of these settings will depend on what you want EA to do.
