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

My comment yesterday that ITM was working fine appears only to be the case on demo. I have tried to place 1 or 2 pending orders on my live account and ITM immediately deletes them. Broker is Cowboy Go Markets & PipsHiddenFromCriminal is 0.

Very strange, but appears to be a broker issue??

Just had a trade triggered on my live account & have now attached ITM, which appears to be working now. Weird how it doesn't like pending orders!

Strange!
Yes I have the same issue with pending orders being deleted.

I just downloaded a global prime demo to see if it is just Cowboy Go Markets but unfortunately had the same thing! Pipshiddenfrom Crim 0 and any open trade stays, put any value >0 and any open trades are closed out...so it looks like it is not just Cowboy Go Markets.
So is the ITM on your live account now working with PipshiddenfromCrim >0 ?

No my ITM is still PipshiddenfromCriminal 0

It manages the live trades, but as soon as another pending order is added (and it doesn't matter if the order is added manually or with the script), ITM closes it, which is a shame as I'd like to be able to rely on it to move BE and close out for me.

Did you check the 'trade currencies twice', 'negative swap'and 'equity' filters?
I have them all set to 'false'.
In fact, I put everything to false except the moving of the SL of the pending and the closing at colour change.

Have the ITM on all the charts, with no problem.

Need to find out if BE=false will keep the trades open if the blue line is breached. GBPNZD almost did that within 1 pip a while ago and went south again... :)

You guys need to read the user guide, especially the balance feature.

:D

Well, I had read the user guide a few times, but clearly not often enough...

All fixed now :oops: :lol:

Zeljko & Trade Currencies Twice were the culprits...I had disabled them on my demo, but not my live account :oops:

Anybody has an idea if a negative number in 'ExtraBreakevenProfitPips' will work and set the blue line the entered number of pips behind the BE-point?

It should do, as the formula adds ExtraBreakevenProfitPips to the calculated BE price, so a negative input should result in ExtraBreakevenProfitPips being subtracted instead. Try it and see.
