So in the settings


I have options :-

• Buy Stop
  Buy Limit
  Buy Stop and Buy Limit
  Sell Stop
  Sell Limit
  Sell Stop and Sell Limit

wouldnt I need to set a pending order buy or sell 20 pips from the current price Buy Stop and Sell Stop?

Any help appreciated

{
   Buy_stop,
   Buy_limit,
   Buy_stop_and_buy_limit,
   Sell_Stop,
   Sell_limit,
   Sell_stop_and_sell_limit,
   Buy_stop_and_sell_stop
};

Do you mean that you want, say, to send a buy stop and a sell stop on the same pair as near to simultaneously as possible? If so, this is not currently possible.

You can seen from the code that the enum in infinitely expandable e.g.

Code: Select all

{
   Buy_stop,
   Buy_limit,
   Buy_stop_and_buy_limit,
   Sell_Stop,
   Sell_limit,
   Sell_stop_and_sell_limit,
   Buy_stop_and_sell_stop
};

Then all that is needed is to add code to work with the extra choices.

Would you like this?

I want to send one Pending Buy order when TDesk says to Buy or alternatively one Pending Sell order when TDesk says Sell, only once on a pair. I cannot get any pending orders to activate with any of the selectable settings? But if I turn immediate order to true the orders are placed correctly but obviously immediately.

Sorry for the confusion.

following options would make sense with respect to the signal (LONG or SHORT):

1) Stop_Orders_Only
2) Limit_Orders_Only
3) Stop_And_Limit_Orders

Assumed we have a LONG signal, this would result in

1) A grid above the market to catch moves
2) A grid below the market to catch retraces
3) Both 1) and 2)

Vice versa for SHORT signals.

Sell orders don't make too much sense for me in the presence of a LONG signal.

Just my 2 cents.

As you can see a Buy_stop has been placed correctly after the BUY signal on NZDJPY all good There is also a SELL signal on EURNZD but nothing has happened.

Hi C1borg,

If you set send immediate market trade to false, because you only want pending orders.
Set pending trades to false.
Set grid inputs to true with the type of grid to stops or both if you want limit orders as well, and the distance to whatever you want and amount of buy/sell stops you want open.

This should do the trick.

Cheers
