Hello,
now the Basket Target Cash values ​​on the display are stable.
But still there is a basket closing of trades for a reason that I have not been able to discover yet :arrrg: .
It is possible that all trades are closing immediately as a result of SuspendDeskyonWIde¨Spread or ONImpendingNews?

Many thanks in advance.

No. Desky's activity is suspended so he cannot do anything.

Hi to all,
I still unsuccessfully fighting with unwated trades closing.
Even though I have all the functions for closing by day and/or hours turned off, Desky from unknow reason closing open trades on Friday 1:00.
Have someone the same experience?
Does anyone know where I might be wrong?
Many thanks in advance.

NIce weekend.

I had a quick look at the code and there is this comment in the individual days inputs:
"//End of day closure/deletion of all trades.
//Ignore signals at and after this time.
//Local time input. >23 to disable."

Your inputs such as FridayCloseAllHour are all set to 0. Each new daily candle opens at 0.00 hours and so triggers any closure time with a zero input. Set them all to greater than 23 - 24, 45000 - anything will do.

Thanks a lot Steve.
I must have misunderstood: "Blank input means 24 hour trading".

Nice Friday,
I have it set in the Desky fixed TP on 120 pips. But even though profit reached more than 126, Desky did not close position.
Have anybody some idea why?

Many thanks in advance.

Anyone else had this problem?

I wondered if there is a fault in the hidden sltp code but it is simple and I cannot see anything wrong.

Fellow coders might like to take a look:
  • CountOpenTrades() examines the HideStopLossAndTakeProfit input at line 2316 then calls the bool lookForTradeClosure(int ticket) function if this is enabled.
  • bool lookForTradeClosure(int ticket) (line 2555) calculates the hidden sltp then examines the market and closes the trade if the market has passed the tp.
I cannot see a failure point in the code. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi, after opening a empty chart using TDesk, I am getting the following Alarm. But only on a few pairs:

"H4 Super-signals AUDJPY @ 1 hour channel"

Any ideas?

Fixed. The problem was: TDesk first applies default template before applying the one defined in TDesk settings. The Alarm came from indicator in default template.
