Hi everyone,
Here is the latest version (3.30). This one should take care of the problem, i tried it today on a few occasions (not during news though), SL was hit on 3 trades without triggering any other trade immediately.

John,
I don't know if it's a "common" problem with MT4 brokers, but one thing is sure. They know all too well that most of the "small" traders trading news have their stops between 15 to 30 pips max. Usually when i straddle the news, i try keeping my pending orders around 30 pips distance from price. Depending on volatility and price movement as time approaches i may change my settings from initial 30 pips to 25 or 20. Generally i prefer getting in for as much as the broker allows me to be close to the price with my trail. I prefer to take what i can from the table with more lots than to be greedy and go after the big one. If it goes fast one way (my way hopefully) i don't mind but i don't let it reverse if i can. If my stop is hit, i turn to manual and stay on hold and evaluate. Often i stay out until things settle down and i get a clearer picture. News never end.
