[quote="blubbb"]Wow, that means you'll donate soon?
I probably will in a paycheck or two.
Take a look at these 2 or 3 images of an ACCIDENTAL buy that lost me 12+ pips.
I clicked on the "Long" script and no buy ticket appeared on the chart. So I thought I didn't really click it. Then I decided I already had enough (like 14+ pips for the day) so I got off the charts and started doing work (job-work). A few minutes later, I looked at the chart and
Lo, and behold, I was about to be stopped out of a Trade!! I didn't think I was in a trade!!
The trade stopped out -12+ pips and I looked at what was going on.
The BUY actually took place at least 1 bar away from where I clicked. 5minutes plus, after I clicked. ***Now I did NOT look up in the left hand corner, so I don't know if there were any error messages up there.***
The BUY took place up MANY pips above where I clicked the LONG script.
Slippage was set to 2 pips but the BUY was MUCH greater than 2 pips from when I clicked.
What I found in the Journal was that the trade failed because of "NO CONNECTION". That went on for more than 3 minutes and then when the connection "came back", BOOM the BUY was successfully placed (while I was reading email!!)
Is there any way to program the scripts to quit trying if too much time passes?
Now I DID win MOST of those pips back a few minutes later. (they are all demo pips, anyway.)
I suppose that if the scripts did Limit Orders instead of Market Orders, that would done the trick.
On another topic: What about a script that, when executed, issued a Limit Order with the price set to the High (green rat) of the PREVIOUS bar???
