Good luck Angat. Are you starting to get a feel for why I do no allow time discussions in my threads?

These guys cannot come to grips with the simplest of concepts - their broker's D1 open times. Now try to imagine something that actually requires thinking.

Welcome to my world. Sing out if I can be of help. Need a forum bazooka?

At some point, I'll take the 10 most common questions asked (the 'time' one being probably number one

) and edit the first post and do a FAQs list.

Hello,

I've been running PPos on demo (Broker: Bully Pepperstone) and it's been working fine so i decided to try it on my live account.

When i put PPos on my live account it kept coming up with SELLSTOP order send failed with error(130): invalid stops only on the EURUSD and EURCAD charts, the others seemed fine. This didn't happen on the demo.. EURUSD trades opened up no problems! I found my issue to be the "Pending Buffer" setting which default setting is 20 so i changed it to 100 and pending's were placed.

Im assuming this means that my pending will open at 100 from the current price instead of 20? if anyone has any information on this that would be great

and why its only happening on these two charts

Thanks

It might be that the price was too close to the pending price when the pending orders were sent.
This might help, what I do is load the EA, look at the ADR, divide that by 5 and use that figure as the Pending buffer, works quite well for me.

Example, if ADR is 200 then divide by 5 = 40. Set pending buffer to 40 pips..

I'll take a look that when i get a chance ~ thank you!

Hey Guys, sorry if this has been asked before but are the pending trades deleted if the trade conditions change or are not valid anymore?

I just don't like have pending trades sitting there waiting to be opened and when they do get triggered/opened, the trade conditions are not right anymore which will cause the trade to be a looser.

Thx

What time frame are you trading on?

If you are using the D1, W1 and M1 with all pending trades being closed on Friday this should not be an issue because the system trades Daily trades which are in line with the previous week and month, those facts do not change until the end of the week or the end of the month..

If you are however as I suspect using a lower time frame then yes when the conditions change you will have to manually shut down the pending trades.

I'm using M30, M15 and M5 so will definitely need to monitor them. Thx

Do you mind if I ask why you chose those timeframes? The EA works fantastically well on D1, W1 and MN1, so I'm curious to know what reason you have for choosing different timeframes?
