Just for understanding:
Slippage is the difference between the quote you get with last tick and the price you pay with next tick, when you place the order. Some brokers offer to execute without slippage but I would never trade there.It would be suicide for the broker if he sell at quote price if the market prices moves away very fast. It will open the door for arbitrage trading.

What can you do?

At first there is a slippage allowance in the buy and sell blocks. That mention you can limit the slippage on order execution. If the market is more away than ... your order will not become executed. Place pending orders and allow a small slippage. You can look for brokers who guarantie to execute pending orders at the given price (maybe on some conditions)

No slippage will only work on slow market movements, thats why lets say you place pending order at 1.11111 and one tick the market is at 1.11110 so the order is not triggered yet. One tick later the price is at 1.11112 and without slippage the order will not be triggered because the price is away. In fast moveing markets (the only markets to make profit) its hard to hit exactly your price.

it doesn't open any trades.

thanks for your reply i'll try

You can use the block "buy pending orders in grid" (or "sell pending orders in grid") near the buy/sell blocks.

@Pipperoni

are you sure ? all of mine dont have a minimum , xm , alpari, fxopen because you should be able to adjust your pending order at any time , but they always have a minimum size from closed price thats around 2 pips .

In the "... pending order" blocks you can also find this OCO setting, so the same block can create one more pending order that is on the opposite side of the current price and is from the opposite type. Both orders are "connected", so when one of them gets triggered, the other one is being automatically deleted. If you want this, just use that OCO option.

For the built in fractals indicator use Candle ID of at least 2 (if I remember correctly)... or 3 if I'm wrong. It must be bigger than 0, because the fractal object appears on a previous candle, it never appears over/below the current one.

Candle ID should be at least 3 or something. 2 or 3, I don't remember exactly. The reason is that you never see fractal on the current candle, fractals appears on the chart few candles later.

@xfire yeah. i know. i just discovered it. hehe. 😄 thanks anyway

real enough ?

Error with code 2 is listed as a ERR_COMMON_ERROR in the documentation. This error says something like "there is something wrong going on, but I don't know what".

This is backtesting, right?

Right now I'm looking at your projects and I don't see any project that creates pending orders. So I don't know, I guess that if you want to delete a pending order somehow, you should use some block to do that. For pending orders you can also set expiration time, which works at the broker and does not require the EA to be working all the time.

solved..

But it moved eventually? You can try that Reference price setting. I added it because of people who work with small stops.

thank you no pending order above buy and sell works, it opens only one pending order.
