Break even point (if trade) effecting different instruments
-
Hi,
I've been forward testing my EA and have noticed that if several positions are open at once, and one of them hits take profit, then the same EA running on different charts seem to all move their stop loss to break even automatically, even though they are on different instruments and haven't yet hit their take profit!
The block currently moves the trades grouped as "group 1" to break even, however I haven't specified a symbol on as I assumed the EA's do not interact across different currency pairs/charts that are open + running the same EA. (I.e. I thought if the EA running on EUR/USD triggered move stop loss to break even, then it wouldn't move the stop loss to break even on a different active pair, i.e. AUDNZD even when it hasn't taken profit here).
So my question is, is there a way to specify the symbol to "current" rather than pointing it specifically to the chart that is open (i.e. typing in eurusd as the specified symbol) so it doesn't effect other open trades? Otherwise I'll have to make a copy of the EA for each currency pair it is running on (18 pairs) and point the EA to only move the break even point for the active chart it is running on.
Cheers!

Edit; ignore the above, I had the "specified" block empty which defaults it to the current symbol already, my issue must lie elsewhere.

Sorry for the spam guys, I found the issue. A different EA had this block specified to trades open across all active symbols. I didn't realise EA's interacted with trades linked to the account rather than being isolated to the charts they are being run in. This thread can be closed

@gwydaer Godd to see you fixed it. Congrats!
