Do you know if the trade was in profit at the time, and TIB trying to modify the stop loss?

:D

yes it was in profit.
I moved all the settings to match 1H TF to make it trade more often and see how it actually works. Probably it was the moment when candletrailingstop was trying to hit...

Steve,

What if you change the code in the various Stop Loss Adjustment Routines (SLARs :) ) so that before you set modify to true, you actually do a test to make sure it will more the SL by a point or more. Like this for buys:

Code: Select all

if (NewStop-OrderStopLoss()>=Point)
   modify = true;
and sells:

Code: Select all

if (OrderStopLoss()-NewStop>=Point || OrderStopLoss() == 0)
   modify = true;
It looks like it should work for all the routines and should eliminate some of the messages. I think it will also allow for combining stop methods that might otherwise conflict, since they would only move SLs closer.

Hehe. Thank George not me. G is gradually dragging my programming into the late 1990's. :lol:

We should skip the late 1990's so that we don't have to get hysterical about the pending doom from the y2k bugs. :D

That was funny, wan't it? My wife and I sat waiting for the clock to tick over to 2000 and for the electricity to go off, the bank steal all our money (again) and planes to fall out of the sky all over the place.

The lack of event was almost disappointing.

Hey, this reminds me. Back in the 1980's, when I was battling to make my BBC 'B' comp do anything in BBC Basic, I had this little card on the wall next to the machine:
"Everyone can make mistakes.
This fact is true indeed.
But, to really screw things up
A computer's what you need."

:D
