I think something like this can only happen if you disable autorecovery. But there may be many nuances here, and everything is probably not as simple as you think.

I advise you to spend some time and study how the strategy tester works in visual mode. Much will become much clearer to you, and in the end you will save a lot, a lot of time (and money) by choosing the optimal strategy for you with its help.

Double ordres.

Sorry for the trouble but why would I be getting double entries? What can I do to avoid this? 

Thank you Aldo

My friend Where do I disable auto recovery?

I think it was the slippage that worked. There is nothing you can do about this, it depends on the broker. The advisor places only pending orders and the price of the pending order (at which it was placed) can be seen in the comment column for the order. But to do this, you need to enable its display in the terminal.

You are a champ! Thank you.

Hi Aliaksandr. After 30 min of running i get constant error messages. How can i fix that? 

Thanks in advance & best

Hello, I recommend restarting the terminal. And if the error persists, show here a screenshot of the alert with the full content.

Hello,

Yes, you can choose to close market positions only (if I understood your question correctly)

Hi 

all my charts are showing this error. Please assist 

Grids are not been placed. EA not working. I don't think it's me because it's a problem across all my charts 

Fixed it.

Sorry to trouble. 

Thank you 

Hi, I hope you are well

What do I need to do to not close existing orders for a loss when I am making changes to my grid? I have old grid orders set as true.

Thank you 

Aldo

Hello, the advisor made it so that LOSS-MAKING old grid market orders are not closed automatically. The settings from your screenshot do not affect this. Only profitable old positions with a take-profit lower than the new one can be closed automatically.

Thank you for getting back to be. It was a good read but I can't find why some of my positions are closing out when changes are made to the grid 

Can you provide screenshots of the full alert messages that notify about closing with current loss and profit?

The rest looks normal my friend. I just change grid spacing and lot size often and I am getting open orders that get closed 

Double click on each of these lines and show a screenshot of the full messages for these lines (which should be displayed above this entire list). 

thank you 

That is, you need to monitor the new values ​​of stop-loss and take-profit.

p.s. I rarely use the settings for old orders, so I should clarify that if their management is enabled, then of course you also need to take into account the values ​​​​set in them for TP and SL.
