I trade Leon's strategy using basket. I close the basket around 1000 pips in profit and let Desky run again.

Sometimes I want to stop trading (deactivate Desky) when TP is hit - how do I set that??

Best Regards
Jan
You cannot at the moment. I will add this feature.

Thank you for the update and new feature - it is a great help. :clap:

I have 3 loosing trades if you notice they were placed evenly at 5 apart as per the grid setting, two fairly close in time and the other some time later. As I said I have complex offesetting turned on so could this be a result of that? I dont want you wasting time trying to fix something that is normal behaviour. As an experiment I will reset and turn offsetting off.

Update I now have 9 EURNZD trades all equally spaced apart with a grid of 1 and spacing 5 Recovery OFF Offsetting OFF. I dont think now it is a settings issue and I think this only started with version p of Desky if that helps.

You must be the only person here experimenting with a grid size of 1. That is not a grid - it is a trade. Try using the option to send a pending order rather than a grid of one trade, and see what happens.

You can seen from the code that the enum in infinitely expandable e.g.

Code: Select all

{
   Buy_stop,
   Buy_limit,
   Buy_stop_and_buy_limit,
   Sell_Stop,
   Sell_limit,
   Sell_stop_and_sell_limit,
   Buy_stop_and_sell_stop
};
Then all that is needed is to add code to work with the extra choices.

Would you like this?
Been looking back through the old posts and dont know how I missed this kind offer or I didnt understand it at the time

Yes if could you could kindly add Buy_stop_and_sell_stop as an option I think it will do exactly what I want

Code: Select all

if (TypeOfPendingTrade == Buy_stop_and_sell_stop)
                        {
                           result = LookForTradingOpportunities(symbol, pairIndex, OP_BUYSTOP);
                           
                           Sleep(5000);//Give the platform time to catch up
                           
                           result = LookForTradingOpportunities(symbol, pairIndex, OP_SELLSTOP);
                        }//if (TypeOfPendingTrade == Buy_stop_and_sell_stop)
Would this be correct?

I tried the above code and its working up to a point and placing 1 Sell Stop pending order when Desky recieves a Sell signal which is perfect. However I also need it alternatively to place 1 Buy Stop pending order when Desky recieves a Buy signal which it doesnt.
