Hello,
Could use some help. See the attached EA.
I traded this EA fine a year ago and then I took time off from forex. I've come back and I still want to try this EA. The EA loads fine, no errors, and will even place a horizontal line on my charts showing the short and long entries. Price will go through my entry point by many pips and still not trigger a trade though. What's going on?
Some details:
1. I trade with IBFX.
2. When I initially traded the system they were a 4 decimal broker and are now 5 decimal. Does that matter though? I can adjust the TP/SL/other variables manually and simply increased their values by 10. So if I have a 10 pip TP then I would simply put in 100. Seems to place the line properly. Again, no errors on loading the EA.
3. I spoke with a rep at IBFX and they could not see any pending orders on my account.
So I'm wondering why the EA doesn't execute the live trades anymore. Is it the decimal thing? Would someone be willing to fix that?
Could that all be worked around easily by having the EA simply place a legit pending order that would show up on the brokers server? I don't mind if they see my order.
