When you set TP and SL, say for a buy order, should it be Bid +/- TP/SL, Ask +/-, or Bid-SL Ask+TP? I know this seems very basic and to some of you it may seem obvious, but i'm not really a trader.

Ok, so after developing what i think might be a somewhat useful EA and getting acceptable backtest results, I'm ready for forward testing with a demo account. There is only one problem, the EA is not trading at all, even when conditions are met where it should trade. I'm using vista home premium x64...

From what I gathered so far, most of you are expert advisor designers seeking to build the most efficient EA so that you can sell the EA to the general public. In reality, however, that does not make much sense because, if your EA were to work so well, you would not care about trying to make a

Let's take an exemple. I want to buy 1 lot of EURUSD. I have a balance of 5000 EUR on my account. I need 300 EUR of Margin to open the lot. The spread is 5 pips (50 EUR). I open the position and I check my equity and my balance just after. How many EUR will be in my Equity account? 5000? or 4950
