I don't know, maybe the EA having to count from 0 to x every time, I may be wrong though. Personally I make the setup as simple and logical as I can.

@meshii As others have said, you may find that your broker wont allow a pending placed at such a small distance, check your journal for info on this, on the on trade tab you have purple blacks that act only on specific trade information, you also have a trail pending block so if you have to place a further distance away you can at least trail behind price.

@namiyrd use trailing stop for group of trades, never used it but would think this is what it does.

No I am suggesting you use whatever you want.

@khalids222 So while sleeping the correct answer came to me, as you'll see in this picture just change the number of trades to check from1 to 2 and put the pink block back. Hope this helps.

@alphaomega You don't need pass blocks when you have a condition, personally I don't connect yellow to top, this makes the block loop until it passes so avoiding the above conditions, every tick it will try to complete the tree, if it can't it waits until the next tick to try again. As for the draw blocks you need to name so when redrawn it knows what to redraw, this needs a condition so it will only redraw once needed, I would have a condition using object on chart, the slope angle, so if sloping up and candle closes above (>) it redraws, if sloping down and candle closes below(>) the line is redrawn, I would switch all off except the line drawing until this is working as needed.

The Ask and Bid don't work like that, they are the prices that a broker uses to take a small amount of money every trade you take. The accepted price can change, they call this slippage, it can be different to the requested price, weather pending or instant.

@amincgi Set the magic number to 0, this will allow EA to work with manually placed trades, if you use the pink blocks then pips away will make EA do something at chosen pips, in the on trade tab you have purple blocks that will do something whenever something specific happens like trade opened, in the pending order blocks you can set the place where an order is placed. Between these 3 options you should be able to achieve everything you want.

@alphaomega Fair play, I still create a section and once it works I move on to the next.

Although I rarely disagree with roar, I do un this, is not about stopping losses, it is about abiding by the prop firm rules.

To use EA's on funded accounts you have set limits, for example you can not place a trade or close a trade, some minutes before until some minutes after, this is all done using set news events.

@harshalr5556 This indicator has 4 buffers, buffer 2 is the green arrow, buffer 3 is the red arrow.
If you use indicator appear block then the EA will do whatever you require when arrows show.

@alphaomega The line doesn't have a name, put one in there and put yes for redraw:

Get the value in a condition block, draw a line here so you can visually check on back test what's happening:

@jolly-virox The blue block called check position count, this should go at the top of the tree.

@alphaomega Your welcome

I don't think so.

@piptheripper Don't worry about it, we all have these moments and there is lots of options in FX to deal with. Glad I helped

Place with a different group number, and use this group number to control what happens with the trade.

@jordanmarvelley You probably need to use a purple trade closed block on the on trade tab.
I would use this and not pink, this way every time SL is moved to BE a trade will be created.
