Honestly...I'm not sure about this US broker regulations. Maybe someone in this forum can give you a best explanation about it. I'm using GoMarket as my broker and they have no problem with pending stop orders...

You can have pending buys and pending sells, they just won't get filled if you already have a trade open in the other direction when it gets triggered. The pending order is closed, however. In other words, once you have a OP_SELL order in place, all your OP_BUYSTOP orders will be fine on the chart until they get triggered. As each gets triggered, it fails to open and you get an error in the log saying "People in the US aren't smart enough to hedge." OK, they don't use those exact words. :D

At least that is how Cowboy IBFX is doing it.

What pair and timeframe was this backtest for? If EU m30, quite the different picture on good tick data, straight down :( You may wish to backtest with better than 27% accurate data as you did.

Hi Oldtrader,

My EA is suitable to run on 1H TF and never tested on other TF.... Anyway, you are please to run at any TF... To be honest I don't really trust this backtest even it at 99% accuracy... I do a backtest just to make sure my EA is working according to the logic that I put into the EA... That's it...

It sound funny..but that is the way I do my work... About the pair, I found that this EA suitable for EU,AU,GU and UCHF...but you can test on the other pair... and let me know the result...and that is the point we are sharing it in the forum.... :)

Cheers
