It 's OK !


I tried from another PC with another navigator and it works fine !


Sorry

 

Hello,

I dont know why but when I try to test the EA with strategy tester, the TP and SL never appear. They are not set when I do not use the trailing stop.

When using the TrailingStop parameter, the SL appears, but it seems to be a modification and not an initial setting in the position. (using the trailing stop allow to set a SL whent the trailing stop is used)

In the same time, when debugging allowing autotrading (on a demo account) , the SL and TP are immediately set (when the position is first set on TradingBlock(); and it is not necessary to wait to ModifyTrailingStop() function to see the SL and TP)

Do someone can explain WHY ?

is it a problem of Broker (Alpari UK) ?

In these condition, it is difficult to evaluate how the EA works when SL and TP are set. 

Thanks if any has an idea.
