Then again, you 're running twice as hot as me.
Incredible performance though.

I tried live with a real bucket-shop, using a cent-account.
Even this EA looses money there... :arrrg:
Hmm, i also started a cent account, which is currently about 15% up (only trading trend and wave).
Can't see why it explodes on demo and looses on real money?

No Idea, I copied setfiles so these are the same.
All I can think of they muck it up with spread and such.

Didn't really bother to look into it yet, maybe next weekend I'll set the 2 accounts side-by-side and compare.

You're using the pending order feature with which the EA places pending orders instead of instant market orders. Sometimes is the placement of the pending order, according to your broker, to close to the market price and therefore it refuses to place the pending. This gives the error message.

If you want to avoid this error you should switch to instant market orders.

Best regards,

The Wolf.

same here, started yesterday on a cent account and it is failing miserably, let's wait for the account to be busted or to be boosted.

The "RadRiskPercent" is not working , still opens trades at 0.01 with a stoploss in place :?

That should give ~0.06 lots I presume?
Don't use it, was trying to find out if your settings dictated a smaller or equal lotsize than 0.01

You might want to set a TakeProfit as well, so the EA can actually work out the Lots size based on TP & SL :good:
