Order magic number. May be used as user defined identifier.

The unique ID can come in handy if you have a more then one active strategy.

Hi Apprentice,

I was testing this out today and noticed a few times that a trade would not trigger. Is there a min distance that a price trigger needs to be from current price when the EA is activated? Obviously outside the spread, but even a few pips away it was still giving me issues. Im not sure what caused certain orders to activate and others not.

Any feedback or tips would be appreciated

Can you provide a trading log? EA will print the reason why the order was not created.

Hi Apprentice, he and I have been emailing back and forth a bit and I can't speak for him, but it appears as though all orders are executing properly on my end.

Quick question, on the stop loss and limit inputs, if these were left to 0 would that mean that no stop loss or limit would be entered?
