That broker's trading server is misconfigured, at least for CADCHF. It reports zero unit cost both for profit and for loss. This is something the broker should fix on their end.

If the trade has already been executed, then yes, it should be modified directly in MT5.
I found that certain brokers require a prefix in front of the currency pair as they have tradable and untradable lists of currencies and only allow currencies with their specific prefix on the currency pair. This may be whats blocking your trading of the currency pairs.
It should work fine unless the broker's server is misconfigured in some way, that's why it's best to test on a demo account first.
When I open MT4, it loads up all the charts with the lines of the Position Sizer showing, even though the button says "Show Lines". Oddly it's only showing the lines, not the text info. If I click "show lines" then the text info (risk, pips, etc) show up. On my MT5, it only shows the TP line like this, and I just live with it. But how can I get it to load up each time NOT showing the lines?
Here's what it looks like when I first crank up MT4:
You can see that "show lines" isn't selected. If I do select that, then it looks like this:
I know someone asked this earlier in the thread, and was directed to a link, but that link no longer works.
Thanks!

Thanks for all the hard work Enivid.
I have a small suggestion:
I have a small suggestion:
- I use the breakeven functionality but I think it could be improved as slippage/fees could also be taken into account
- I propose a 'Breakeven pip modifier' so you can add a +/- value (in points) when price is moved to breakeven to counteract any fees/slippage
- So for example, you could have +10 as modifier value and this would have breakeven point at BE + 1 pip profit
Thank you for the suggestion, but I don't think I will be adding this to the Position Sizer. Please consider using the Account Protector for more advanced breakeven setting.
I am not sure what actually happened. The error that you are citing is about a failure to open a trade, it wouldn't pop up when SL fails to execute. SL execution is controlled entirely by the broker's server and cannot be affected by either EA or the MT4 platform itself.
