Hi,
Question regarding SL on Rad trades.

I am using 2i and have set SL on Rad trades. The info in the main chart shows the Rad Stop loss correctly, but not in the Terminal window, there it shows as if no SL is set (0.00000)

SL on Rad multi trades displays correctly in the terminal window.

I respectfully request some assistance getting the 'stealth' in HGB to work for hiding my sl and tp's as it will perhaps allow me to stay with a US broker, where Empty4 sl's and tp's get 'netted', and still trade HGB. On multiple positions in the same pair netting changes all sl's and tp's on open orders to equal the sl and tp of any newly opened trade on that pair. I know, I know- stupid US rules, but I'd really prefer to keep my trading account onshore and no one offshore seems to really want US clients anyways. This 'netting' is fine for sl's- they essentially become jumping stops, but for tp's it means they never get hit until the new trades stop opening, and hence no profits get realized along the way. As I understand the 'stealth' that's already built into HGB and MPTM, it adds/subtracts the stated stealth amount of pips to the sl and tp input in HGB and sends those inflated levels to the broker while it's should put the 'real' sl's and tp's on the chart and when those real levels are hit, a close order is sent to the broker. Except it wasn't and no trades were closed. My setting are sl at 50 and tp at 30 pips with stealth factor of 20pips, so broker got sl at 70 pips and tp of 50 pips, but when the real tp at 30 pips was hit, trade wasn't closed. Same for the stealth in the MPTM. Have I misunderstood the settings or do I misunderstand how stealth is supposed to work?

I am wanting to use the HGI_v16.00 H1 indicator for HGB. I am selecting pairs to focus on via Normal HGI signals on H4 and Day TF's and then want to run HGB on H1 for those selected 'hot pairs'. Also interested in using HGB as trade manager only on my manual trades on H1 with the EA calling HGI_v16.00 indy. is this possible?

Apologies if the answer is buried in the threads somewhere.

cheers pacinvest

as HGB is not designed to use the modified H1 version from HGI ,I would not use it with HGB, 16.00 H1 is designed for manual trading on H1 chart nothing else, for HGB use 15.06 or 15.09..

Cheers

It is entirely possible that the stealth stuff does not work properly. There are a number of functions in the EA that were coded to work with a single strategy. HGB has several and this is causing some difficulties. I will look into this - I have some work to do with HGB.

Could someone instruct me as to how I could start a forward test with HGB please?
And also if EA has loaded on all charts, should the smiley face on top right hand corner not be showing on all charts?
Thanks.
