I would like to slide multiple pending orders for a certain amount of time. Then stop sliding them and let them wait for candle there.
How do I make the Slide function to work for a specific Time period. (For example ... Pending orders at 20 pips away from current price, should keep slidding or avoid being triggered, until 5 minutes later)
So if I wanted a maximum lot size (too risky "strategically", I understand)... then "technically" the correct input into the builder would be "10 000% of equity -. lots" according to this line of reasoning ?
The concept of getting the robot to automatically choose new order "Lot Size" (based on how much one has as equity) looks simple. But I watched a Youtube video tutorial and I found that it is not as simple as me punching a percentage of equity I want (e.g. 100%) in my robot builder. Instead I saw something with 3 thousand percent (example), which was not explained. In my understanding, we can go from 0% to 100% only. That now confused me a bit. I think there is a factor that is included in that number, that I do not know of.
I would like the robot to automatically place an order according to how much I am currently making (let us use 100% for the example). Why is it not as simple as me punching in 100% in my robot builder (percentage of equity) ? What am I missing ? Is there something I need to factor in ? How ?

0.5 is the Broker's execution time...
I have spend quite some time of mixing and matching methods of doing trailing pending orders (the option is there in Fxdreema) but I can't figure out how to make it work.
I am implementing a new break-out strategy. Where """"Multiple pending orders"""" launch exactly at the time of the news (e.g. Retail Sales News). The issue is that, because the trades are multiple, they don't all execute in once second (0.5 seconds for each trade) so only two would have launched in a second. So I am trying now to execute them before the news breakout time then have them trail until its news time, when they are already there.
I have been trying to use the "Trailing Pending Order" block with the "Time Filter" block. I also tried replacing the Time Filter with the "Delay" block but they all don't work. Its either the Pending Orders don't trail (remain where they entered) and get triggered... Or when I use Delay, they don't execute until delay-time is over (only then start executing at 0.5 seconds each trade).
How do I execute all Pending orders in advance and then have them """"trail""" (not get triggered) until a certain time period ?

I started with that option and realised upon testing that the stop does not trail until the price has moved by 15 points first, even if I put the Trailing Step at "0". I think this has to do with the brokers' "minimum allowable trailing distance" rule, since their servers will do the tracking. But if the robot could do the tracking and closing manually without outsourcing to their server (trailing stop), perhaps that could save us both the trouble. At least this is my logic at the moment.
I am trying to trail my stops. The issue is that the brokers limit the minimum trail at 15 points, which is too much for me as I trade fundamentals. My question is... Can I customize the trails to be executed manually by the robot ? What I have in mind is using the following blocks :
For Each Trade (Under loop for Trades and Orders)
Check Loss (Under loop for Trades and Orders)
Close Trades (Under Trade Actions)
Would this do the trick ?
