ea setting help

 

Hi All

I'm new to forex trading I brought a moving average cross ea to help scalp on the 15min time frame I set stoploss at 15 pips and take profit at 30 

but when a trade is open the stoploss is at 150pips and take profit is at 300pips i have tried entering the amounts in deferent ways in the ea

ie 0.15 or .00015 but it still enters at 150 on the chart. So I tried another ea and same thing so I must be doing something wrong or is it

because they are cheep ea's need help with this BIG time. 

 

You should ask the seller for support. The forum can only be used for general purpose discussions about market products or signal services.

However, you are probably confusing pips with points. Please take some time to learn the basics of trading before buying EAs and trading with them.

In real life, you would not buy a car and start driving it until you took driving lessons and obtained a driving license. The same applies here.

Either all the authors of the EAs you acquired are also confusing pips and points, or there seems to be some other misunderstanding.

settings for pips/points are normally, only using integers, not decimal values.
