Hi everyone. I am new here and I want to thank everyone who has post there EAs to test as a community.
I am using a Interbank FX EA with them( IBXF-Basic MA Crossover). I like it alot and it has very setting I need for my trading style however when I attach the file to a different MT4 broker other than Interbank, i get a "invalid stop" massage. I am at brick wall now since i dont know MQ4. I attached the file to MBtrading and FXopen and it give me that error. Can anyone help this newbie?
