in MT5

SELL = close buy

so 2. line means: 

sell - > closing position

buy - > opening new buy position

so i guess he requoted between  03:00:10.570  and 03:00:09.007  and succeded to close the trade. Its unfortunatelly normal that sometimes boke (mt4 alpari or mt5 roboforex) doesnt close the trades right when you want. thats why the script automaticaly requotes all the time untill success. from the log i conclude that BUY trade trade was closed (so it was written sell) and directly after that new BUY trade was again not accepted. What happened after that you are the only one to know.

the script should re-quote until success with opening new position if you didn't stop him :)

So i think its all fine.

Im almost finnished with the new version. You will have more control over how many transactions in a row you want to make and you will be able to set time between closing one transaction and opening new one.

I also add alpha experimental trend detection (4 moving averages and channels related to them, ill probably add adx-scale of channels in the future).

I its in very early mode so I'm just giving you this option as an additional mode. Just for expert users. I have hew more ideas i want to add there and I also will be very grateful for all your ideas relating automated mode. 

No.. that sell is opening trade... here is the screenshot...

see at the top there is 0.16 profit.. that is from that sell and that trade was closed automatically with 0.8pip profit. Again, for today my mode is still buy mode only, no sell mode. How come there is that sell???

I did not close any trade manually for today... they all closed automatically by EA even there are 2 errors of retcode 10001. 

I didn't stop it and they all closed automatically, I hope its all will be fine...

It's OK to update the EA ... but hold on i'm still enjoying the current one using my own trend detector... don't too fast ... hehe...

Sharing idea?? OK... by PM..

Report:

There is one more retcode 10001 error few minutes a go , this time it opening sell again (my mode is still buy mode only). The position closed automatically -0.06$

After that minus 0.06 what happen next is there is no trade/position, I didn't do anything with the EA, it should open buy again because I did not turn off the EA or doing anything.

From above picture..

17:51:15 ---> Sell out

17:51:16 ---> Sell in

17:51: 17 ---> Buy out

So it probably because of requotes. The script failed to recognized that the buy trade is already out. It consider the trade is still open so it sending requotes, but because the trade is already out so it's not closing anything but opening new one instead. Then, the script order buy to open position, but because there is sell trade open it close out the sell. After that no trade.... because the script consider there is still buy trade open... 

I hope you're not confused with above description... But i think that explain all...

After that I turn off the EA... close chart... close MT5 terminal... restart all...  

it seems like Siberia problem was having

maybe you close the transactions by hand clicking on X?

The script does not know that. Either use internal transaction close method (there is one to close instantly all trades) or reload the EA.

the script wants to do:

S- open (buy 0.1)

S- close (sell 0.1)

when you interfere:

S- open (buy 0.1)

You- close (sell 0.1)

S- close (sell 0.1)

result = -0.1 instead of 0.0 

Maybe that is what is happening? 

also notice if you want just one transaction you should access the options and enable the "sell mode"/"buy mode" OK, then disable to "no action" again after opening position.

This annoying issue is fixed in the next version (2.3) where you can simply set to perform 1 transaction without opening automatically next one after take profit. Also feature to delay the next transaction by amount of seconds can give time to perform next operation. The version is already waiting for administration acceptance.

im not sure i understand what you exactly mean so i shoot a little blindly. Tell me point after point what happened in that example and what should happen if the issue has not been resolved.

example of what i mean:

1.  script opened 1. position 0.1 lot buy

2.  script opened 2. position 0.2 lot buy

3. closed position 0.1 lot sell (take profit)

4. closed position 0.2 lot sell (take profit)

notice the script is closing the positions as it was opening them

so each individual position is going to be closed separately.

no.. I didn't click X . I dont even watch it when it happen. All I know is there is no trade and then I check the expert log and journal. Because that error is appear again I decided to turn all off and restart.

I enabled "buy mode" and keep "buy mode" on after opening position because I want to ride the uptrend. If I want to ride the uptrend I should always keep the "buy mode" on, right???

I hope feature to delay the next transaction is better be set by amount of milliseconds not seconds... 

By the way, have you tried the same broker and account type as I do??

That example is exactly what happen when there is no error... when retcode error 10001 appear ..its different. 

Hopefully the issue is not affecting anything.... because I love this EA... :D

let me get this clear. is that what is happening?

1. script wants to close the postion (has to SELL to close BUY position)

2. position is closed but it gets error 10001, the script thinks its not closed

3. the script again tries to close the position. (sell) and leaves sell position

4. instead of opening next buy, he just closes the error-sell position with buy

ah i noticed you have said it is not affecting anything. you are scarring me a litte :)

i haven't noticed any problems on mt5 version because I'm trading with it a lot (stress tests). 

I also like this EA a lot. It corrects position even if something unexpected happens. Just like our friend Siberia said in review: "learn not to be greedy" ;). Even if you make really bad decisions strategy is giving you usually one to few occasions to get out of it with little profit or little loss. For trading noob like I am its great. :P

maybe i should add a special option for you. "treat 10001 returncode as a success" :D

no but really. the first time 10001 occured:

1. was it the same?

2. it was different (all was fine but 10001 error)

3. you didn't let him do it and closed the script before it had a chance of doing anything.

Hi,

I am interested in the approach. I am trying the demo. But cant get any results. Do you have a manual, explaining how to use.

Regards,
