great, thank you

assuming this one is the only expert adviser running but there are several charts open for different symbols. If I set "less than "n" trades running" to 2 on the ea applied to EURUSD chart but I already have an order open on a EURGBP chart, will that EURGBP order be included in the running trades count? I guess I will try to experiment with it... Thanks

Does this mean all trades globally (for all charts) or only for the chart the expert advisor is running on?

I understand, but how can I set the trailing stop to begin to trail only when the market goes above open price? Is this set up correctly: http://fxdreema.com/shared/K48k6OtL?

it is set to "open price" but it still begins trailing below open price

I am using the trailing start block - http://fxdreema.com/shared/rDQNi2umc

Hi, how can I set the trailing stop to activate only when market reaches opening price (otherwise it stops out orders in the minus)? I tried putting condition between pass only and trailing stop saying if candle close > candle open, then start trailing but didn't work. Thanks in advance

got it, thanks. I tested out the limits and it looks like 180 pips is miminum stop limit.

for gold 1 pip = 0.001 even though broker uses 2 digit format?

there seems to be a relationship between point format and SL/TP values but I don't understand it. For gold, the point format in mt4 is 0.01 which would equal 1 pip, correct? So if I want a stop loss of 50 pips, then SL should be set to .50, right? It doesn't work. Even if I set it to 50 or 5 it throws the 130 error. The only thing that works is setting point format to 0.001 and setting SL to 50 (actually 20 is the lowest that worked) but this creates distance of 200 pips between opening price and SL. Is it not possible to set stop loss of 50 pips or 20 pips (mt4 says 15 pips minimum)?

it works if I set SL to 100 but then open price is 1597.90 and SL is set to 1497.90. I want SL to be set to 1597.40 (50 pips) but if I change SL to 0.50 it gives me the 130 error.

what do you mean by "normal levels"?

I see the spread meter in lower left of mt4 chart but I don't see how to set SL/TP levels there. Do you mean to adjust SL/TP in source code?

Hi, I'm stuck again on same ea from yesterday - trailing stops don't work. I think it has to do with how I am notating pip values. Would you be able to login to my pc again?

logmein invite sent to contact@fxdreema.com

that would be great as I am really excited about using (and recommending) fxdreema. I will send you logmein info shortly...

thanks for your quick reply - I have set them above the broker limits (>100). From what I was reading, it seems like ECN broker issue relating to setting s/l when trade first opens as you described here:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1922&p=2584&hilit=ecn+broker#p2584

but I even put the modify block after the buy and still get same error? Would you be willing to log in to my pc and look at MT4 strategy tester output? I am happy to pay you for your time (and subscribe to full account) but I really want to see this work first and I am reaching frustration point. Thank you

Hi, can anyone help me troubleshoot this 130 error? It is occurring whenever I set s/l, t/p or trailing stop on an order or even when I add modify block after the buy block. I am a newbie and this is my first ea so any help would be much appreciated
