Hello.

In general, there can be no problem with the launch in the EA.

Problems of this kind can be associated with a terminal freeze or a broken Internet connection, but not from the EA.

I answered you in more detail in a private message.

Hello.

Such errors are most likely caused by restrictions on the part of your broker. I replied to you in more detail in a private message.

Sincerely.

Hello.

This EA uses traling stop and not TakeProfit.

Overlap is used only when working with take profit, adding an overlap is contrary to the strategy of this Expert Advisor.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello,

We checked and see the correct operation of the TrailingStop functionality in both versions of the Expert Advisor (MT4 & MT5).

Immediately from the base - please check if you have auto-trading enabled and if the adviser is allowed to trade. On MT4 and on MT5 a different trailing stop code is used, if you have a problem on both versions, it is better to check everything that is around the adviser, for example, whether the VPS was enabled, etc., etc. Moreover, both trailings are used in my personal trading and show correct operation.

If you have questions about these functions or you think that the product has some bugs, please send(via personal messages also fine) more detailed information using the template located here - > https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs/post/741436

Based on any technical information, we will be able to give you a technical answer and perform additional verification on your request.

Best Regards

Hello, maybe i'm not understanding something.  I bought this indicator and am testing it to find the right settings. however i'm noticing that despite setting the "Enable Autolot Calculation" to false and setting the order to 0.02, when i test it for several months using the strategy tester, the tests always run short, never reach the final date and a series of Close At Stop trades are visible in the end sending my account to huge losses.  Now i have a number of questions:

1) Why didnt the EA stop these trades from sending the account to huge debts? i'm noticing that in the past there were trades which ended in very small negative amounts due to the sl being triggered but then at the end a series of trades which ended at a loss stopping the testing and the account from continuing...

2) the trades that are being marked as "close at stop" and sending the account to very small balance strangely have huge lots e.g. 0.62 and 0.27, etc...when i set specifically size to 0.02 and disabled the autolot. am i doing something wrong?

...and the final date is never reached of the testing period. this happens on all the pairs. But here i am talking on GBPUSD and i confirmed that i checked that there is enough data in the history because i wanted to make sure that the test is not stopping due to lack of data.

Appreciate your help.

Hello,

1 - The Expert Advisor does not use SL, this algorithm uses averaging. Pay attention to the fact that in those cases, closings occurred in groups of orders, some of which were profitable, and some were unprofitable.

2 - You need to pay attention to the averaging settings. First of all - "Multiplier for size of orders" is a multiplier for subsequent orders in the group, you can reduce it so that there are no large orders. The next important setting for risk is "Step for pending orders". That is, you need to adjust the step between the market order and the pending one closest to it, this is the most important risk adjustment, if the step is too small, there will be higher risks. After trying the optimization of these two variables, you will immediately notice the difference, regardless of the autorotation.

Also try to test the EA with the "Visualization" mode turned on in order to visually understand its strategy more clearly.

If you will have any questions - be sure to write, I will try to help.

Best regards

Alex,

I discovered a bug when backtesting - when one of the option of 'Allow to open OP_Buy' or 'Allow to open OP_Sell' is disabled, namely, when we only want to trade in one direction, the EA will only do one single cycle and thereafter it will stop trading for the rest of the backtest period eventhough the option of "Allow to open new orders after close' is turned ON/True/Allowed. I can confirm the bug is there as I have tested it many times.

Its very frustrating, please sort out the bug for us. I still have not used it on my live account, so I don't know whether the bug will appear if I use it on my live account. 

You can easily identify the bug yourself by doing what I described above, namely, disabled one of the direction and you will see that the EA will stop trading after one single cycle.

I really hope you can sort it out soonest.

Thanks.

Philip

Hi Alex,

Its been 4 months since I reported the bug in my previous post - THE BUG IS STILL THERE !!! 

When can I expect an update??? Please resolve the bug for us - I still have not used it on live account yet, I intend to do so but would never use it with that bug still there.

Thank you.
