I would appreciate any help with an unexpected problem with my ridiculously simple EA. Here it is:

https://fxdreema.com/shared/TtMS131tc

This is what it does:

1. I select a single trade buy pending/ sell pending. I manually specifiy price level.
2. I manually select size.
3. I manually select pips distance for SL and a partial close.
4. Once price reaches the partial close level, the SL is moved to break even and the EA automatically terminates.
5. I manually close the remaning trade.

Well, believe it or not, from time to time (and I can't simply understand why) some orders are programmed up to 700 pips away from the manually inserted price!!! . It works smoothly most of the time, but today i tried a sell pending order at price 6845.3 and the order was programmed at 6155.0!!! I've checked and rechecked.

Any help will be MUCH appreciated.

That's the problem. No errors are shown. All conditions are met but no order is launched in one out of 4 trades. I have no idea why and I guess it can be a broker's server problem. Is there any way to confirm it using fxdreema?

My recent EA works smoothly in 3 out of 4 times. For a reason I can't understand, some trades are not opened and I have no idea why. If code was wrong no one would be opened. I need to discard broker problems and this is why I need a block telling me why an order is not opened. Could someone please tell me which block can specify the error number for a failed trade?

Thank you very much in advance.

Great! Thank you.

Surprisingly it doesn't happen with Chrome. I guess it's a browser question after all.

Apparently the problem is limited to copy from one project to a different one. All copied blocks from a project are correctly pasted in that same project. A different thing is pasting to a new project. Sometimes works correctly and sometimes not. Those times it doesn't work properly partial paste is got; some blocks are pasted and others don't. I'm using Mozilla firefox as a browser. Could this be the reason?

Impressive. This site is more astonishing the more I use it every day. Thank you

I did it as suggested, but it doesn't work. Is this what you mean?

I thought the block "Delete Object" would clear my chart from all arrows created by all trades open/closed, but apparently I'm missing something because it doesn't do it. I even specified by "Arrow" at the "Name contains" field, bu to no avail. Could someone please help me?

I remember I was told that the block "Buy/Sell pending order" doesn't need to be specified with a limit/stop mark because is it included within the block. That raises me a question. How does the block know that? If want a pending order at a price that is not the one at the market now (let's say obove the current one), how can it know I want a buy stop instead of a sell limit?

I can confirm I am logged in and using the same browser. I found a way to get it, but I find it simpy lame. Firstly I have to copy all blocks in the same project (so I essentially I'm duplicating them). Then I cut these duplicated copied blocks and paste them in my new project. Not all of them are pasted, so this opereation must be repeated 2 or 3 times before all blocks have been copied. I don't need more of them to be copied now. Could you please check where the bug is?

I became a payment user and I'm suprrised I can't copy blocks from one project to another project. I don't know why, but I select a group of 7 blocks, copy them and when pasted at the new project, only one of them is appearing. I did it as a free user. What am I missing?

Done. Thank you for your suggestion

Great! It worked very well. Now an additional difficulty is added and I know I'm close, but not enough. This is my project now (only buy section included):

https://fxdreema.com/shared/okGed5M9b

This is what the EA has to do:

1. A buy is opened with a specific TP and SL.
2. Two candles after opening (1 minute time frame) the SL can be moved, not before.
3. The SL moves at a fixed distance (5 pips) below the 10 periods moving average.
4. The trade finishes once TP or SL are reached.

It works perfectly so far except for one single point. Sometimes the moving average is so close to the SL that when adding those 5 pips, the new SL is moved below the original position, and I don't know how it not to happen. I see that in my first "Modify Order" block there an option to chose "pips" instead of "proce level" at the "Mode" option. Could this be the solution?

Thank you very much in advance.

Ok. Thank you.

__Buy - is opened at Ask price,,, and is this Buy is closed at Bid price
Sell - is opened at Bid price,,, and this Sell is closed at Ask price

and example, if Buy is opened higher than offered Ask price - this is question for your broker :D[/quote:25e6vnds]

You're right. My broker is cheating me!

Now I need a bit of help in my new second problem.

Ok. This is what I got so far:

https://fxdreema.com/shared/Zkk80AJ6e

Now I have a second problem again. My now moving SL goes up and down! How can I hold it shrinking in one direction only (upwards in a buy and downwards in a sell)?

Sorry for this permanent updating of the thread but I'm learning on the go!

Second problem solved. I simply disconnected buy/sell blocks from the rest of the blocks. Now I understand how it works. Sadly, problem 1 is still active.

I'm working in a new simple EA but it doesn't work as I wish. This is why I ask for some help ;). Here's the project:

https://fxdreema.com/shared/GFDBuTBye

And this is what it is suposed to do:

1. A buy and a sell are launched at current market conditions (tome frame 1 minute).
   First problem here: I don't know why but any of them are opened at current market price, but a few pips abaove/below ask/bid.

2. After two minutes (two bars) has passed from open price, the stop loss can me modified according to the condition included in the "check stop loss" block .

3. Once condition is met (moving average value at that bar plus/minus 5 pips), the stop loss should be moved up to that price:
   Second problem: stp loss is not moved at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, but it also hides the stop loss. Is there a way to hide the take profit only?
