What's the spread calculation for limit orders buy and sell? "Ask" for buy limits and "bid" for sell limits i assume?

Thank you for your great work!

yes this EA works in that way.
Cheers

Milanese, today tried your EA on my account. I was experimenting some with 0.01 orders, just to see if it is working correctly... What i noticed is that despite a limit order hidden pending level is set (tried both with movable line and without), it almost instantly opens market orders, despite price not even being near the hidden pending (more than 10 pips away).

I am using a 5-digit broker, if that makes any difference. Hope you have a solution for this one, thanks again!

In a future update, Would you consider a dynamic risk-based order size with a manually set stoploss? And a multiplier for the stacks? So if I set a pending trade to use 2% risk of my balance (or equity) on Monday, but the pending gets filled on Thursday, the size of the order will account for profit on other pairs on Tuesday and Wednesday?

Thanks again for such a wonderful utility. The spike filter alone makes it worth using.

edit: Alternatively, you could make the EA take over existing pending orders on the platform. That way traders could use whichever script they are accustomed to use for entering their orders, you could even enter trades on the mobile platform knowing the EA would take over these too. Although I do not know how complex this would actually be, or even if it would be simpler than the former suggestion.

(1) Once an order has been triggered, the EA does not trigger any more new pending orders. For example, you attach the EA on say a 4H chart. The pending sell trade is triggered and the pending buy trade is cancelled. All well and good. However, no more new pending buy and sell orders are triggered on the next 'previous' candle. Even when you remove the EA and re-attach it, no new pending orders get triggered as long as there is already a trade on the symbol. I have checked all the settings in the EA and I cannot figure out whether it is to do with a particular setting or that is just how the EA is.

(2) I get the following errors with some symbols. For example, right now for EURGBP, EURNZD and EURCHF, I get "EURGBP SL/TP order modify failed with error(1): no error, trade conditions not changed". Even though I have used the exact same settings for all pairs. (image attached)

(3) Also, if it is possible to have the option to change the font size and colour of the display text, that would be most useful.


Thank you.

Although it may sound common and everyone were taught to do it, but my belief require me to ask/let the owner know that I'm using their stuff. So, here I am.
