I believe I am doing something wrong.... When I load this ea it does not change my trades to what sl it should be according to the EA. Doesn't this ea only have to be placed on one chart to cover all pairs? I have even tried loading the EA on a chart of a pair I have a current trade on. Any suggestion or help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing the same thing on Forex.com US demo with the latest.

Edit: i tried it again later and it didnt give me the same problem. maybe price was too close to something. will continue to test. thanks

I dont think ITM will handle a basket. You need to look at MPTM.

Is anyone else having orders closed out, in profit or loss, as soon as the ITM is placed on a chart?

I have tried it on demo and live accounts and turned all margin overtrading etc functions off and set large TP/SL to no avail.

I am thinking it is my broker, (Cowboy Go Markets) somehow, if no one else is having dramas.

Cheers

I am using IMT on Cowboy Go Markets demo and having no problem at all
Righto found what the problem is!

If I leave 'pipshiddenfromcriminal' at zero the trade stays there...put any value in and any open trade is closed out within a minute.

fxozgirl are you putting any value in 'pipshiddenfromcriminal'?
even on a Cowboy Go Markets demo the ITM closes any open trade after a few seconds...leave it at 0 and the trade stays there.

Any suggestions anyone?

Hi,

I know one shouldn't do it, but in case you add a 2nd order to a order that's in a loss, REMOVE the ITM from the chart.

As soon as the 2nd order triggers, the ITM will calculate BE and find out that PA is 'past' the number ITM came up with -> close all. You will be at loss at that point, and out of your position.

Re-attach the ITM to the chart after PA is past the initial order again.

Learning is about falling and getting up.
I'm very proficient in one, you figure out which one it is..... :D

Yes. ITM is not coded to be used thus. It assumes that the first trade is in profit before the second triggers.

Hi Steve
It seems that if I put a value in the PipsHiddenFromCriminal option of the latest ITM and then apply it to a chart any open trades on the chart will be closed out. (demo and live accounts)

Leave it a zero and all open trades stay and the ITM functions normally.

Could this be a broker initiated issue? Do they have a way of not allowing one to have hidden tp and sl?

regards

You can open a trade without a SL or TP hidden means the EA on your PC will close the trade when conditions are met to do so, ie loss > X or profit > X
