@l-andorrà I agree. in that simple EA the block for each trade was also missing. Reason it didn't move all stops. My current broker is on MT5 only since this weekend. I guess I need to find another one with MT4.

@Piet-Pompies This is a test for somthing else but maybe it helps you on the way. https://fxdreema.com/shared/BBzBgyGvb

I am getting nuts now. I made a simple EA with and without Partial close and in both cases it only moves 1 stop. I need more time. @l-andorrà.

Ok I am now going to try and get a simple EA but first I will explain in 3 simple pictures what the problem is. I want all stops to move x pips from their original entry price and close 50% of all trades. But in MT5 I can't create this. Either I only get one stop or I can't close 50% at first target. For the record this WORKS PERFECT IN MT4.

Either it gets solved here or I need to dig in the code and when I can't solve it find someone else to solve it for me.

This simple bot without pass once is not working at all. I will look in to it over the weekend again when its raining. Have patience lol.
BTW I am still convinced its a bug in Partial close.

I will simplify the EA and show what is wrong with a shared link. I am not looking for automated trading. I have my Ideas and my EA should act on my Ideas. Its purpose is to minimize risk and eliminate emotions. This was working perfect in MT4 but not anymore in MT5 with the exact same creation.

@l-andorrà The turn off block is related to a very different part of the EA (forget its there) but will see how far I get with your suggestions.

@fxDreema @roar @l-andorrà
Ok I will try to explain as simple as possible.
Picture 1 shows shows the EA with partial close block but without the pass once block. It results in that only the stop of the last trade changed. By not using pass once it alters the full target to only the amount extra as the stop is placed. Stop 15 pips below results in 15 pips above as target. (Best to forget picture 1)

Picture 2 shows the EA without partial close and the original stop wich is the same on all trades to come.

Picture 3 without partial close shows all stops move x pips away from their origianal entry at the first target.

Picture 4 shows full target is hit.

Picture 5 shows the part of the EA where things go wrong. In MT4 there is no problem at all. All code was typed in and with new blocks. No conversion used.

So to me its clear now that the block Partial Close prevents block Modify Stops from moving all stops seperatly.

@l-andorrà I guess the problem is in block 83 afterall. No problem in MT4 but will check it later in MT5

@roar Looks like you are right. But I hate that because now I have to start working again.

@roar hmm. I guess you are right. I will do that tomorrow. Simple and without the whole EA. Thanks again for the advice.

@roar Here you can see the difference between MT4 and MT5.

@ekanters said in Bug in Modify stops:

@roar I think we have a misunderstanding. So I will do both in M4 and MT5 and you will see the difference.

@roar I will do a test like you did. But maybe he fixed it. I let you know as soon as its ready. But thanks for the example.

A response from @fxDreema would be nice. Like, I am working on it.

@bk7 You are talking to a simple mind. Besides I think it should be fixed by @fxDreema in the way as it was in MT4.
