EA not opening trades at previous candle close
-
Hello, I realize my EA is not opening trades at previous candle close, Instead it is opening trades highest high/lowest low of previous candle which messes up my WR when using strategy tester on MT4. My SL is 1.5xATR(14) and TP is 1xATR(14) but because the trade is not opening where it should I am loosing a lot of trades. Please help. I am using risk of balance to set SL & take profit

@sesimon1-0 Are you sure it is not the spread causing this? put a shared project link to look at.

I don't think its the spread because I'm just testing on mt4

@sesimon1-0 There seems to be nothing wrong, on mt4 the spread still maters, it just doesn't change, if is large at start will always be large.

I'm using the NNFX SL/TP indicator. As you can see the NNFX TP is a lot lower than the red line above it which is the TP the MT4 strategy tester gave me. Its causing my trades to show up as loses when they are not.

I realize it is only TP when price CLOSES past TP level, but I want it to TP as long as price gets to TP level. Is there any way to change that?
