That's intentional. I don't want the EA to open trades. I only want it to manage the stop loss and partial closes. I open the trades manually. The trailing stop is not working. The partial close worked on one of my trades.

EA Works in Test but not Liveposted in Questions & Answers
Anybody know why this EA won't work in my MT5 live account even though it works perfectly in testing? https://fxdreema.com/shared/IgxsWFZAc

Guess what just stumbled on??? I'm going to try to change my global settings and simplify everything to see if that resolves this issue.

RE: BTCUSD Break-Even Issuesposted in Questions & Answers
Ok, I just checked and it is definitely changing my BTCUSD SL even if it's on a different chart. I had the EA only on my USDJPY chart and as soon as I activated it my stop loss was moved on BTCUSD. I even tried putting in conditions so that it wouldn't happen but it doesn't matter. How can I fix this? I don't know if the fact that I'm using a VPS has anything to do with it.

RE: BTCUSD Break-Even Issuesposted in Questions & Answers
@ambrogio Thanks I could've sworn when I first did this I accounted for the pip difference. Guess I did something wrong. Same thing with XAUUSD too right? Is it the same calculation as BTC or one less zero?
Is it possible that an EA placed on one chart could impact another chart? Have you come across any issues like that?

@ambrogio I tried it with any symbol at first and had the same problem.

BTCUSD Break-Even Issuesposted in Questions & Answers
I can't figure out why in the world I can't get the break-even to work properly on BTCUSD. I've tried everything I can think of. Every time I enter a trade and I get just a little bit in profit I get stopped out. Is there something where the pips aren't being calculated correctly within the code? I've also tried % of TP for the parameters and still have the issue.

The trailing stop did work in testing. It's the partial close I've been having trouble with. But I do see what you're saying. It could potentially cause an issue.

Partial Happening on Child Tradesposted in Questions & Answers
I have been running into issues where my positions are being partially closed, and then the new position is immediately closed afterwards. I didn't notice this in testing but it happened during live trading. I had a similar set up to what was in this response but it doesn't seem to work properly. Did I do something wrong?

RE: Partial close (50%) for odd number lot sizeposted in Questions & Answers
@eklonsousa Do you mean in the EA or when I place the order, only use even number lots?
