I need help still failing to get pending trades to work even after the help kindly provided by Leon

I am using the settings attached using V2i. I use this setup on other demos and everything is working as expected with send immediate trades set to true and the grid trading off. However when I turn the grid on and the immediate trades off nothing happens. I have set an indicator which is always going to send a signal and no pending trades appear? I must be doing something stupid



Does anybody use pending trades if so can you kindly send me your setfile preferably for V2i, ive come to a deadend

                     //Immediate market trade
                     if (SendImmediateMarketTrade)
                        result = LookForTradingOpportunities(symbol, pairIndex, OP_BUY);

                     if (UseGridTrading)
                        if (result)
                        {
                           if (TypeOfGrid == Stop || TypeOfGrid == Both)
                           {
                              SendBuyGrid(symbol, OP_BUYSTOP, ask, Lot );
                           }//if (TypeOfGrid == OP_BUYSTOP || TypeOfGrid == Both)
                           
                           if (TypeOfGrid == Limit || TypeOfGrid == Both)
                           {
                              SendBuyGrid(symbol, OP_BUYLIMIT, ask, Lot );
                           }//if (TypeOfGrid == OP_BUYSTOP || TypeOfGrid == Both)
                           
                        }//if (result)

   if (!SendImmediateMarketTrade)
      result = true;//To allow grid trading if SendImmediateMarketTrade is 'false'.

Does TDesk require us to input the the minus sign (-0.50) in to the ExitThreshold value field?

Steve the counter trend scalp is interesting hope to test this week. But I think it will get killed in certain PA conditions. Will be great if I am horribly wrong about that.

I am having some fun with a hedging idea to work with Peaky. This is an autotrade idea. I want Peaky (trading timeframe) to guide the direction of trading. My main trades will close on full opposite signal once the Peaky swings unfold and my other indicators are supporting by all reversing. Other indys are RSI cross TD V2 (26 slow, 2 fast, 1 time frame above trading time frame) and HGI (trading timeframe) with a lower TF MA to help entries. Thanks goes to Leon for this approach. I am going to refer to these other indicators as my 'main' indys.

Here's the hedge idea. I want to hedge when my main indicators reverse but of course often Peaky is not flinching and sticks to its guns, so this is not an opposite signal and not supported as a Hedge entry option currently. I will call this a correction, (lower time frame wave). When the correction completes its little run and we return to the Peaky direction my original trade is sitting there ready to resume its run with Peaky and I want my hedge to close in profit, taking those pips off the table as we go. This pattern may repeat 3-4 times for each Peaky swing. To make this happen we could have an option to have the hedge open on a flat signal which I calculate to reflect my main indys reversing. The hedge closes when the overall signal resumes which is how it is currently coded, so that part is already there. Essentially I am looking to let my main trades run with the Peaky wave and hedge the corrections or pullbacks. Another way to do this is to have Desky ignore Peaky for the Hedge entry. I will stop there if this idea is worth pursuing you will know how best to code it. If you go for this there will be many possible hedge strategies opening up, as a result of TDesk magic.

Thanks for the continued efforts, Desky is getting there......

It used to display the basket target, in my case 1% of the equity and the current profit. What is the cash and pips target referring to? I notice global basket take profit is active as expected, however market trades count is 0 when I have active trades. Perhaps it is because the market is not open yet, and this behaviour is correct?
