      Dear forum members,

      I made a simple EA to open and close orders
      It works perfect for Indices but seems to fail sometimes when using it on forex
      The open conditions are simple
      Previous candle bull open B if bear open S
      On indices it works but on forex sometimes not
      What i noticed is that when a bear candle closed the S order a buy order is opened but also closed instantly (this proces repeats every second)

      Since it is working onindices what am i missing for forex?

        I am using this EA in same MT4 instance and on 3 differen charts
        Might this be the issue?
        The symbol setting in the blocks i used are default (use symbol current chart)

          Just added a break even point block to the project
          it is working for the 2 indices i am trading(us30 and FRA40) but for EURUSD not at all

          @FXDREEMA
          Do you know if this is a bug?
          I am using the same EA on 3 charts in the same MT4 instance
          Is this even possible?

          Please let me know

            I just got it to work.
            There is only 1 but

            For indices the specified pip offset (15 pips) is executed just fine
            For the EURUSD it become 100 pips instead of the 15

            It seems there is something wrong between indices and forex
            Can any of you confirm this?

              @dgrl I am also trading indices... My favorites, because spreads are small and there are no swap costs. And, yes, for me too, I have better results on indices. There seems to be not so much of a noise, like on EUR/USD. Technically speaking, the EA's work the same on both, but results are better because of characteristics of market.

                So your EA's also has this issue?
                " What i noticed is that when a bear candle closed the S order a buy order is opened but also closed instantly (this proces repeats every second) "

                Every second it opens and closes a trade?
                I lost over 300 bugs coz if this error and not paying attention LOL
                I guess i misconfigured some settings coz i really dont know why it behaves like this on forex only

                  Could it be a FIFO issue with forex?

                    Nah i dont think its FIFO
                    Coz the previous trade is closed and a new one is opened
                    The newy opened one has the issue
                    FIFO is when 2 trades are open right? (S and B on same time?)

                      Yes FIFO is trades both ways, but also applies if the EA is trying to open and close a new trade... all previous trades are closed out too.

                      "Once per bar" will solve the 300 open and close issue. Try putting that in before the buy condition.

                          @dgrl No, my EA's do not behave differently... technically. I was just simpatico with the US30, and FRA40... 🙂

                              My broker uses complete different point system for there charts depending on the currency of indices you choosed
                              Kinda confusing but in the end you can work it out
                              Only thing i hope is that it would be the same for a live account
                              Now testing on Demo
