- When I enter 3 orders for EURUSD, when I change 1 stop, all the other stops change
- It more likely you mean 41 points above.
PIP, Point, or Tick are all different in general.
What is a TICK? - MQL4 programming forum (2014) -
You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid. Pending Buy Stop orders become market orders when hit and open at the Ask.
-
Your buy order's TP/SL (or Sell Stop's/Sell Limit's entry) are triggered when the Bid / OrderClosePrice reaches it. Using 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 / OrderClosePrice reaches it. To trigger close to a specific Bid price, add the average spread.

The charts show Bid prices only. Turn on the Ask line to see how big the spread is (Tools → Options (control+O) → charts → Show ask line.)
Most brokers with variable spreads widen considerably at end of day (5 PM ET) ± 30 minutes. My GBPJPY shows average spread = 26 points, but average maximum spread = 134 (your broker will be similar).

I used the crosshair to measure the distance between my entry and where the entry was actually placed. I am new to trading and still learning however I've been trading for a month now and never seen anything like this. The attach link shows a photo, the bottom arrow is where I clicked "buy" and the top arrow is where the actual "buy line" ended up, crosshair tool shows 41 pips. I immediately knew something was up when I tried to find the entry line to drag my stop loss into place but couldn't find it you can imagine my horror when noticed that I was already at -53.00 into the trade in less than a second, I had to search terminal to find the price of where I entered as I wasn't even looking that high on the chart. Usually my entry is just above or below when I buy/sell.
Yes I am so confused what's changed, I changed no settings as things were working normally with my one click trades up to that point.
