Block 11 is a "just in case anyone tampers with my trades" type of block. I was also trying to figure out why the trader would do anything but close trades via SL and TP which it appeared to be doing.

Looks like setting trade stops after it goes through fixed the slippage issue however it created another one! Now my global variables which tell which eas to fire to not do so. Also your solution to doing it is super elegant, I just created a loop after the trade not attached to it. That was cool ;D

Well see how it goes. Thanks for the help as always!

The blahblah() is the email stuff -- the reason why I mention it is in my code if that is sending you an email it's because it is terminating the program and it's not terminating. I am reworking it so it terminates not matter the success of the sendmail. I think what happens is the email part fails, so it doesn't terminate. In my live account email is configured properly so it's less likely to happen. Yeah all the trades that it spam come out with weird results. Normally it trades just fine. Then VERY rarely it does this freak out. This is only the second time I have seen it, so I am trying to figure out what is causing it. The expert tab is showing slippage like crazy which is fucking up the tp/sl that's an easy modify fix though.

For me overall I am just happy I am catching these before I go to live. I would be a sad camper if I didn't!

I am going to add a second check like I said that is just going to get to see if a trade closes too quickly, and if it does to terminate email me.

This blows my mind. How can people not want something like this? How can you say a trade went wrong or wasn't filled correctly without evidence?

It stems from the previous issue I was talking about with you, where for some reason the trader opens and closes a crap ton of trades. It's done it again, btw. Attached is a screenshot from a demo version of my 4 traders. The one that would be opening the trades is Vesica.Pisces.Counter. Current version here: https://fxdreema.com/shared/qefXW1g8b

The current patch I am going to run with terminates the trader and emails me if any trade closes with 10 minutes of it opening. It's a fine band-aid, I just wish I knew what was happening. The problem is the previous bandaid which is trying to do this isn't working. I am going to just brute force add custom code that changes is trade allowed to false.

Additionally, the journal only has interesting data. It shows that when its happening there are too many errors to post, and it shows with the failed read data () and failed send data () that it's likely these trades are being closed in some bizarre way. The reason why it's generating that error is the previous code I added which says terminate the trader and send me an email if any trade is closed not from take profit or stop loss.

Any help would be appreciated. I would really like this to work!

Hey Dreema!

I was wondering what you could do to compile a list of the trades in a terminal and email it in daily chunks? It's such a shame (or maybe I am misguided) that the push notifications sent are not logged in the mt4 mobile app so if for instance I ever deleted it or uninstalled it I would have no tracking on my trade history.

Any help would be much appreciated. I just can't think of a way to do it without writing custom code.

As always -- thank you so much for your time!

I dont have access to the logs at the moment, but it didn't say anything in particular about the closes. I am going to leave it in demo for this week again and if I see anything it happening again I will send you screenshots and what was going on at the time. I will remove that variable from the final build and hope it helps.

You are right though it doesn't seem like the case. Here's hoping

That's what I was thinking!

I double checked whether or not virtual stops were on, and they were turned off. Is there a way I can just delete the whole virtual stops code snippet?

It just makes me worried since I intend to go live in a week. If you think of anything please let me know. Even if its just a failsafe that I can build in to turn off autotrading and shoot me an email that would work too. I just need some kind of possible event that would trigger it.

As always thanks for your time ;D

Hey Dreema!

Just finishing up my trader and it's having a huge issue thats preventing me from going live with it. Here are both versions:

1. This one just makes a USDJPY trade while the global variable is toggled to a certain value. https://fxdreema.com/shared/rFjCPAzrc
2. This one makes a trade based upon the opposite value. https://fxdreema.com/shared/D8lk8K8rb

Last Thursday during live testing it made 20+ trades (which makes sense) but what doesn't make sense is that from time to time it prematurely closes my trade. This trader only uses stop loss as a closing condition, so it's very concerning to me. I lost 33% of the account because of it! It will randomly close trades, which makes it hard to use the strategy I am using.

Is there a way you can take a look at it and suggest some alternate configurations to accomplish my goal and/or diagnose the issue I am having?

Thanks!

Hey dreema! Took a peek at the screenshot, awesome. That narrows down the bugs a little bit. Still not executing quite where I want it to (it should be executing the MG trade type after the BU trade type records a loss). I will poke around with it some more!

Thanks for your time

Hey fxDreema!

Once again thank you for all the hard work you have done on maintaining this awesome tool. ;D

Can you take a look at this and tell me if I am way off base with the ontrade elements? https://fxdreema.com/shared/CTuavzVzc

When I compile them they don't do anything. I made my onTick logic as simple as I possibly could and just execute logic around opening and closing of trades.

Previous and similar versions with far more complex logic seemed to work but this one does not.

Also for reference I am using the local build and I am two builds before since they don't seem to work on my computer. I tried to recompile it via web and the trader still did not execute any of the logic in the ontrade main function.

Thank you for your time!

Hey fxDreema,

I just wanted to say thank you for the tremendous effort you put in before I ask a question. This tool is amazing!

That being said, I am trying to figure what I am doing wrong with my logic.

I can't seem to get one set of trades to execute in one condition and another set of trades to execution in the other. Additionally -- the values for the trades don't seem to be what I expect would be generated.

Could you take a look and give me a decent way to verify my work? I don't want to take up a lot of your free time. Just some. I am messing with the logic points tester tomorrow when I wake up (it's late where I live!) but I have no idea if it will give me any results.

If you want some clarification on what I am trying to do I would be happy to pm you are chat with you.

Here's my current build: https://fxdreema.com/shared/Ekld4Bwxd

Thanks for your time again!
