Two Brokers - 1 EA - can you guess - One reluctant to open orders
(A) The profitable one opens with the correct value in TP - the other OPENs with tp=0
How about 0 SL as some of these brokers need you do submit the order without a TP and SL which you would set later when the order fills.

Yes,
The code is designed for that exact condition - First it opens the order (with or without sl,tp -> set in parameters) and then MODIFIES the order in-order to update the TP (esp. good with trailing stops).
During these tests, I've disabled the MODIFY ORDER code and just allowing the OPEN order to set the sl=0 and the TP = (calculated value).
I -am- thinking if simply running with exactly whatyou suggest; OPEN the order with 0,0 and then quickly MODIFY'ing the order to add tp.
What worries me is the fact that the code works beautifly - on ONE broker.
$131.80 vs $13.59 on the other. - Both are Placing Trade-Orders, but only one is placing orders with TP>0

Uzben,
I modified the code to that now, where I only had the OPEN ... statement
OPEN ...
I now have both the open and modify statements.
OPEN ... 0,0
MODIFY ... 0,value
I'll watch this tonight.
It still doesn't seem to OPEN any orders as it "should"
The moment I goto EA->Properties-> and check [x] the box
for "Ask Manual Confirmation"
Then it IMMEDIATELY ! asks permission (again and again)
-If I refuse and UN-Check the [] box, then it just sits and waits.
Any suggestions?

See pictures.
Note: One is IBFX one is Alpari - Are both of these brokers - EA Friendly? ( They *SAY * that they are.
There's nothing to be suspicious about in regards to your EA's performing with these brokers. They are good. If you see a difference then there is something in your EA's that you are not fully accounting for as a difference between the brokers.

Anyone have a suggestion?
I have my trusty EA - on ONE machine running against two brokers - at the same time.
Started @ NZ open Sunday (Monday) and running since (about 48 + hours)
One has Profit of $125 the other $6 (-well, I'm testing at 0.001)
(A) The profitable one opens with the correct value in TP - the other OPENs with tp=0
- Yes, I've verified that the value is correct.
I've thin'ed the code to ONLY perform an OPEN to BUY or OPEN to Sell - otherwise it never sends data to the server.
(B) the Profitable one opens trades by itself - the other just sits and watches.

Oh, and one other thing...
The moment I change the EA Properties to MANUALLY ASK for Permission to Place a Trade...
Then it IMMEDIATELY askes for permission.
Otherwise it sits and waits.
ps, Have confirmed the above on a second machine (same set-up)
Please advise
