MPTM updated

Rocketz · Post by **Rocketz** » Tue Apr 02, 2019 12:00 am

I think I found a bug in MPTM with sell orders and hidden stop losses.
Every time a sell order executes while MPTM is set up to have a hidden stop loss then the sell order is closed immediately after being opened.
It works fine with buy orders as far as I can tell.
Also hedging and all other closing options are turned off.
You can recreate the bug by resetting MPTM settings and then just selecting Hidden stop and leaving everything else off.
Thats how I was able to figure out what was causing the problem.

Anyways I appreciate all the hard work you've done here Steve and I understand you may be busy with other projects but just wanted to point out this bug and see if you or anyone else would be able to fix it.

Thanks for this.

Just so you know, I found some possible causes and will post about them tomorrow.

The fix is in post 1. It required an idiot check to ensure that the trade has a 'hard' stop loss to link the hidden sl.

Greetings, :hi:

First off, thank you for all the goodies you have provided over the years! Your hard work is sincerely appreciated by many I'm sure.

the new MPTM is great! its lean and clean.

I'm encountering a few problems though; the Global order closure and Shirt protection functions are not working. MPTM fails to close the position after it reaches/breaches the designated upl.

I have combed over the manual and tested both functions several times. I hope I can be helpful by bringing this to light.

Hi, thanks for the MPTM,

I'm trying to use the ATR based take profit and I can't the MPTM to recognise the ATR settings. I've tried on a couple of different brokers without success. All the other take profit functions seem to be working fine but I can't get the ATR to work

Is anyone using the ATR take profit settings?

thanks

Peter

Would it be possible to add a user defined buffer to the candlestick trail?
