Hello hurgax,

We all are big kids! And as far I am concerned, I have big fun with MT4!

Why don't you show us your code or at least the figures of what you are talking : current price, the target and the SL you are sending for your Buy Order so we can help you to see the Buy function is working.

Hello Jacques,

well, without kids the world would be boring.so, nothing against kids (and their toys like MT...)

Wrong S/L or T/P.


When i place a buy limit, manually, i can set a target without error. don't know what's going on here...
