I have an EA that works on boom 1000, boom 500 , crash 1000, and crash 500. The strategy computes crossover strategies but for some reason the same EA never picks trades on boom 300 or crash 300.

My EA opened a BuyLimit with an SL and TP as shown in the image below. The order is not considered a position, which can be verified by doing a "PositionsTotal", that means I cannot use the PositionClose method to lock-in the profit.

When the Close Conditions are met : a) If the current chain of trades is in profit than close in profit. b) If the current chain of trades is in loss, than hedge the loss by an opposite position with volume = to the sum
