Slippage in the stoploss system may be a problem, says Stringo - MQL4 and MetaTrader 4

Slava 2007.10.16 13:59 #111

fxj, what do you mean "slippage in the stoploss"? Accuracy during execution? It depends from executing plugins attached to trade server. If no plugin attached then exact execution without slippage. In the common case it may be any slippage. Check it yourself.

If you mean slippage parameter in the OrderSend function keep in mind that this parameter ignored for pending orders

Stringo,

Here is some example

Buy filled at 2.0000, and sl =1.9980

After lets say 30 minutes the price is spiked to 1.9950,

Where the order should be exited (stopped out) at 1.9980 or 1.9950 ? (on the ATC2007 server)

Please note that all the above numbers are not correct, if you need the exact number I can copy it from my journal

Had I been allowed to play in Championship this is where I would have been after 2 weeks.... NO.1 !! - $37 723.03 :(((

fxj:

In the following screen shot you can see the order # 4881293 buystop at 2.0402 and sl 2.0332

In the following screen you can see that the order was filled at 2.0402 and sl=2. 0376

But the order closed at 2.0313 i.e. its beyond the stop loss by 63 pips !!!!

I see. There was technical problem on the trade server. Some time no orders were executed. When problem has been fixed orders executed at current on that time prices. I am sorry, but this state cannot be changed.

trading executions the max slippage works Support/resistance levels. How do

Stringo,

This is not fair,

I have more wrong orders, and the worst the EA stopped executing the orders

i.e. my EA does not work completely, and there is no records in the journal

I read in one of the interviews that some of the participants made the code for their EAs available. Where can I find them?

What wrong with the online Contest data ??

I'm monitoring my contest EA on my PC at demo.metaquotes.net:443. The last open orders closed at 2007.11.19 03:18. At Contest server time 2007.11.19 13:06 (10 hours later), the online Contest data for my EA still shows the last 3 orders are still open.

https://www.mql5.com/en/users/wackena/

My EA opens orders when Hours() = 20. The online Contest data shows last orders opened at 19:00. My monitoring at demo.metaquotes.net:443 has all orders opening at 20::00. Something is wrong with online Contest data.

Here is segment copy of online Contest terminal trade history. You can see that after Oct 28 (DST change) orders opened at 19:00. My EA is coded to open orders at 20:00. Following is segment Detailed Statement from my monitoring of my Contest EA at demo.metaquotes.net:443. You can see in this report that orders after Oct 28 did open at 20:00 as it should. Why am I seeing this difference ??
