You enter TP and SL into settings or where? Or does it first open a trade and then you adjust the TP and SL manually on the already open positions?

What for? You are on ECN - it won't allow you to open new orders with SL and TP on them, will it?

It opens new orders only when new bar has opened on a chart. Did you wait for this to happen?

If you are on ECN - yes, you'll have to add TP and SL manually on each position. Though it's possible to modify the EA so that it will do it automatically.

Ok, thankyou so much. If you have time, do you mind modifying it so that the EA will do it automatically?
Thankyou,

You can now re-download the EA. Change EA_Mode to "true" and set your SL and TP via the input parameters. It will then open positions without the SL/TP and apply them later.

Hi, i've downloaded the new version but it doesn't have "Change_EA_Mode."
also just to understand the EA better, is the randomentry period = no of pips of no of bars?
thanks alot,
tony

oh, sorry i figured it out, no worries!

Yes, its working on Ecn now, but just one minor issue: when the first lot of trades have closed, it doesn't open any new ones. E.g. Max trades open =2, so 2 trades have opened and then closed, it won't open another new trade.
Thankyou,

Did you wait RandomEntryPeriod bars for the entry to happen?

My mt4 is doing some strange things, sometimes the EA won't open trades after one trade is finished, sometimes it will. E.g. USDCAD, after closing one trade, on the 30th of Jan, randomentry period = 24 on an 1hr chart, did not open anymore trades.

Sorry the problem was with my Mt4, i just turned in off an turn it on and a trade was opened.
Are you able to add a automoney management function? such as opening lot size according to risk percentange?

Thankyou so much,
tony
