T/P not trigerred at the championship ?

New comment
 

I have an opened order of 3 lots at the championship

The price at the opening of the order was 237.52

T/P was set to 238.66 from the beginning

At 6pm GMT, the price was 238.77, 11 pips bigger than my T/P

Why my T/P at 238.66 has not been triggered ?

 
I had a similar problem. This is copy of my post on ATC 2007 Comments thread. I've not had a response yet. We may not get a response, as MetaQuotes don't know why or they are just staying quite in the hope we will just go away and be quite ourselves. MetaQuotes has been somewhat responsive on the Russian Comments thread, but have been almost non-existent on English thread. You have submitted proof that the Current bar high was more than enough to trigger your tp. And, below I have submitted proof that the current bar high was enough to trigger my TrailingStop that should have modified order to new sl.


I feel there is a serious probem here. Now that 2 different EAs have had similar problem, the ATC 2007 Organizers and Jury should investigate. If we are wrong, then it should at least be explained.

ATC 2007 Post copy:

I am also running a Demo EA of my ATC 2007 contest EA on same MetaQuotes server address (demo.metaquotes.net:443). Until today, the Demo EA had virtually identical results as my Contest EA. But, today my Demo closed out 3 orders with profit and Contest EA did not close these same orders. Demo EA hit a TrailingStop at 1.4136, while Contest EA did not hit the Trailingstop and Stoploss stayed at 1.4030.

The EA uses Daily chart and Oct 5 Bar has Open 1.4134 - High 1.4141 - Low 1.4104 - Close 1.4109 (Bar still open). The current Bar High was high enough to trigger TrailingStop at 1.4136.

Why the difference if both Demo EA and Contest EA are running on same MetaQuotes server ??

You always can loggin your account on invest password by Client Terminal and view current situation directly.
 

Thanks Rosh for your answer/

Does it mean that we should not trust what we see on the website and only what we see on the client terminal ?

 

Website is delayed a little, I think.

 

I reviewed the top finishers in last year's ATC 2006 to see if there were "Off Quotes" errors. I could not find any "Off Quotes" errors.

So, this brings up the question; Why are we seeing such a high occurcence of "Off Quotes" errors in this year's ATC 2007 contest ??

Yes, look at the bottom of participant terminal window on the Championship website:

"Attention! Charts are updated every 5 minutes, quotations and the account information may be returned with delay.
This information is not the recommendation to buy or sell securities.

that is what happend with me

The first screen shot, the yellow color means that your order is closed and they need only some time to update it, that happened with me many times on real accounts


But the second screen shot it’s a big problem! That the order slippage 26 pips and the system is in red (i. e. it is saying you are near the stoploss)


I think we need to start a new thread with only these issues so we can understand why these problems are here, or maybe we are wrong but we should understand what is going


I am using real money on some brokers so I will not be happy to see such things here in the original company,

 
website amybe delay even to 5 minutes or not refresh.
