Virtual Bugs*

[Morpheus_0]

Hello Dreemas*

I've had a long standing love/hate relationship with the Virtual Stops feature provided by FXDreema. Always seems to be a problem.

If I enable Virtual Stops I get the Error 4202. If I disable it I have no problems at all.

I relate to the reasoning and would dearly love to use Virtual Stops but I guess it's time to give up on the idea*

Simply don't use them. They are objects. If your bot can create those stops as lines, then there will be no problem. It's more time and more blocks in your bot, but it's the only way they can be correctly recognized by the platform.

Not a problem, i think you are using trailing stop. Since the stop is virtual, it will not found, but you can see on chart a pink line move as stop loss (your virtual stop loss)

Hi Guys - Thanks for your thoughts*

@l-andorrà - Yeh I know. I just have to put aside the theory that brokers hunt stops.. That's the whole point of using Virtual Stops right?
Also I already have over 300 blocks in this EA. I think that's enough yeh....lol

@ambrogio - Yes trailing stops. The real problem is that it only throws that message sometimes here and there, and when it does, the EA won't place the trade. Therefore, it's just not reliable enough as you can't have your EA missing trades etc...
Also, the stop doesn't start trailing immediately therefore the trade should still get placed...yet it doesn't....

Eh, I'll just have to do without it and hope the above theory is incorrect*

@Morpheus_0 yes, the message appears here and there when the trailing stop moves only. I'm surprised he doesn't place trades because of that. What are the conditions to open those trades?

[Morpheus_0]

@ambrogio - Conditions are price movement a certain distance in one direction. The Buys work fine. Only the Sells throw up that message and have that problem....

But anyway, I've turned off Virtual Stops for now*

@Morpheus_0 I see.

There is a work around for this by using the Unrealised Profit/Loss > Close Trades blocks* So long as you don't want to use Trailing Stops....
