I tested it. The changes you made have no effect unfortunately.

Either way, using one single MES.CTS only or using two MES.CTS with different identifiers: they won't shut off.

My old MES.CTS, the one I provided for download, is shutting off - but, as ever, it will shut off all pending MES.CTS.

And, as ever, it's not reliably shutting off.
If you want to test it yourself with my old MES.CTS (GBPUSD, m15):
on Nov 28, 2018, Entry Level 1,27507 it will shut off - BUT only if getting stopped out (not TP)
on Nov 27, 2018, Entry Level 1,28163 it won't shut off.

Do I something wrong in handling MES.CTS? I almost suspect that as possible.

Great work! Thank you!

Everything's working exactly as hoped for, except for Mandatory Closing.

Funny thing is that Mandatory Closing works fine in a Backtest Project.
But as soon I open simulation mode and start trading manualy - Mandatory Closing won't work.

Simulation/Backtester was very stable, even with valid interval for operation in second = 1.

In simulation (not backtester mode but manual mode) I used both values for valid interval for operation in second - 1 as well as 60. Nothing worked.

If this thing would finaly work MES.CTS would have a great variety of possible application, e.g. I could use it between anouncement times, say between 10:45 and 14:27 MEZ.

Apprentice, may be you could have a final look at it after holidays. Or in January, I figure it's getting on your nerves by now...

Bumped into another error.

For the fun of it I testetd strategy with EURUSD.

Strategy works fine with GBPUSD - but it does funny things with EURUSD.

I testetd both, Simulation/Backtester and simulation manualy.
With EURUSD a SHORT Trade is handled as a LONG regarding CTS!

When MES.CTS opens the position CTS ist still tracking the Long side. 2 hrs later price hits CTS' Long line and CTS is flipping to the Short side.
Trade gets stopped out once Price hits CTS' Long line!

Actualy I don't care for I don't do anything else but GBUSD - but this odd behaviour undermines confidence in the strategy.

"The extension bpj is not allowed" - I'll email you the backtest project
