this is no bug it uses OOTB magicnumber 0 so it will manage all trades with this magicnumber(manualtrades normally have too 0 as magicnumber), you should never use more than one EA on one account and never mix manualtrading with EA trading on an account. Cheers Tommaso |

Greetings Folks, first post here at Steve's. Absolutely amazing stuff you guys are doing. Congrats to the forum and the great work! I am experimenting with BB EA on a live account with Armada Markets. BB seem's to work as intended with adjusted settings however I got a huge bunch of error 130 messages last night concerning S/L adjustment. Somehow BB is not able to break-even and jump-stop adjust open trades. Any ideas on this one? Could this be a problem with the broker? According Armada Markets I do have an ECN account so I switched IsGlobalPrimeOrECNCriminal to TRUE. I appreciate any help. Cheers Sebastian |

Welcome here Sure it can be a broker problem, the setting IsGlobalPrimeOrECNCriminal should not be the problem, maybe your jumping stop/ BE setting causes the 130 error, or some spread widing during the night from your criminal. I would this EA first for some weeks test on a demo account before going live.Cheers Tommaso |

Thank you Tommaso! To be honest, I almost left all B/E or Jumping S/L settings according the default or ootb values. I only changed BreakEvenTargetProfit from 10 (default I guess) to 2 according to what Steve stated in his manual. Everything else remained untouched. So, well ... donno what causes the 130 error Oh, and no worry about my real account testing environment. BB only runs with me sitting in front of the PC watching what the EA is doing. Additionally I let it run with .01 Lotsize only. So, everything's fine with that. |

Good morning folks, I found the reason which caused all those 'error 130' messages. BB's S/L and JS/L feature has some problems with profitably running copied trades from myfxbook, mql5 and other 'social trading' platforms. BB tries to adjust the S/L of those trades but is either not able or not allowed to change it. If I recall that right, somebody else already mentioned that BB adjusted the S/L of trades which were not opened by BB and that this is kind of a feature which is working as intended. Nevertheless, is there a way to tell BB to manage only trades opened by itself? Cheers |

Would you be so kind to direct me to that part of the code I would have to change? 'Cause when I looked into it, I found that BB is already working with two magic numbers. One for 'trend' trades and the other one for 'counter-trend' trades. |

Hi Milanese, I kindly ask you if possible, to slightly modify the Use Stoch7 for Exit to close positions not when price reaches 90/10 but on the way back down to 90 for a buy. Same for a sell, to close on the way back up to 10. Also to add the Trading Time Frame function? I'm not a coder and will apreciate your comments. Thanks |
