Defaulted UseBreakEvenSL to true, BreakEvenTrigger to 50, BreakEvenSL to 2, Slippage to 5, MaxSpread to 12, and UsePrevHighLowTS to true... v1t, Post 1, page 1.

v1q no longer remains.

I noticed both NZDCHF and NZDUSD formed relatively small daily ranges during yesterday's session, causing UsePrevHighLowTS to execute before BreakEvenSL had a chance to execute. I find this self defeating, as the whole purpose of BreakEvenSL is to allow a set range for indecisive price movement. I don't believe a small bar formation should be allowed to negate that purpose, hence the added conditon in v1t.

There is a file note (Post 1, page 1) stating, "The8 a la fxozgirl." This is merely based on what I've gleaned from this thread.

yes Rjo that is what I am doing...waiting until after BE is set and then triggering TS high/low of the previous candle

We obviously have some data feed differences between dealers.

Cowboy IBFX-US:

BreakEvenSL closed AUDUSD sell at +2 pips.
PrevHighLowTS closed NZDCHF buy at +150 pips.
NZDUSD and USDCAD trades are in drawdown.
BreakEvenSL closed AUDUSD sell at +2 pips one hour ago ;)

Yes, someone experienced this some time ago. This is most likely caused by a poor trade server connection. The EA is sending orders faster than the server can return order tickets for the EA to count. SleepTime is an adjustable input for this reason. Increase it until duplicate orders stop executing.

Thanks very much for that suggestion will try next week.
