"no trade (buy/sell)" Filter should ignore manually opened trades

[DanZig55]

Dear Community,

here is probably a simple question for you guys: I have an EA running, that starts with the "no trade" (either buy or sell) filter. This works all well. However I would like to know, does this also take into account manually opened trades?

To give an example: let's say the EA trades EURUSD longs only with the first filter "if no buy", then based on indicators go long.
Now, I have already a manually opened trade on EURUSD running when all the criteria align, will it actually take the trade, or will it read it, as a trade that has already been triggered?

What I want is, the EA to basically ignore that I have manually opened trades, and still take the trade. Just want to make sure this is actually happening.

I hope this is clearly described.

@DanZig55 hey mate, on the "No trade" Condition block define what trade Group it should take into consideration.

Trade grouping allows for trade group separation. According to the screenshot attached, given block monitors Group 20 and Group 21 trade group only
Any manual trade will not have Group attribute, thus will be ignored by "No trade" Condition block
