It's a shame, because the 0.01 lot increment is invincible....but the trade is longer in duration and can last over 24 hrs....with constant monitoring/execution by the EA.

why does the EA stop?..when there is an order interupption. Can't we beat IBFX at their own game?

wolfe, I know its a lot of work...but you got to direct the EA to interact with a text file...so that there is not an interupption...and so we can reboot our computers in the middle of a trade, when needed. The EA must be able to pick right back up where it left off.

I must stop testing now, until I here from you wolfe....also i need to know...am I the only one with this problem...anybody?

I'm not sure why you are having these problems. You're right, there HAS to be something done to stop these things from happening. I do have a few ideas to try, but they will take a little time.

Sorry for your frustration. Sometimes these EA's can be tricky working out ALL the bugs. You have to account for all situations, many you don't think about until they come up in FORWARD testing.

First thing I will do is have it print a GetLastError() if an Ordersend() command fails. This will be a start in getting to the bottom of some of the problems. Also need to save ticket info as global variables. I think these ideas could solve the problem.

I'll work on the problems.
