need error fixing in my EA
I have an EA according to my requirements but When I run it on my live account
it shows a little difference in parameters set and actual trade. It set different SL and TP. I set SL 10 and TP 12 pip but it open trade with SL
and TP both 12 pip. If I add another pair the SL and TP of other pair is more different i.e 15 pip SL and 15 pip TP.
Please
fix it for me if you can. Source file is attached. Also, see attachment for details. TP and SL are set 10 and 12 while EA put tp and sl 30 pip
away.
Please fix it for me and send me file at laksahib@gmail.com. I
will be thankful to you.
Remember, levels close in profit and loss include the spread.
I make some change in code to fix some errors.
Try this version.

Why did you post your MT4
question in the Root / MT5 General

You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid.- Your buy order's TP/SL (or Sell Stop's/Sell Limit's entry) are triggered when the Bid reaches it. Using the Ask±n, makes your SL shorter and your TP longer, by the spread. Don't you want the specified amount used in either direction?
- Your sell order's TP/SL (or Buy Stop's/Buy Limit's entry) will be triggered when the Ask reaches it. To
trigger at a specific Bid price, add the average spread.
