Bug confirmed and fixed.

Please try the attached expert. If it works normally I'll update FST.

Now it seems that Protection_Max_StopLoss is working correctly as expected.

I have discovered another strange behaviour with trailingstop. Sometimes I didn't see the stop trailing when I use trailingstop indicator. Sometimes the stop remain fixed and not trails on Trailing Stop Limit indicator (both Protection_Max_StopLoss = 0 and Permament stop loss = 0 ). I still examine this issue.

Please try the attached expert. If it works normally I'll update FST.

In 5 digit broker I set Protection_Max_StopLoss = 500 (50 pips).
Now if I manually modified an open order and cleared a stoploss, then the expert set a new stoploss for 50 (5 pips) not 500 (50 pips). It did the same when I opened an order through FST Operation tab.

On the second attempt to test this feature I set initial stop loss = 1000 (100 pips) and Protection_Max_StopLoss feature also failed to set 500 (50 pip) stoploss.

I would recommend to use the latest Expert v1.4 from 2011-07-07 as a base for your modifications.

I am running FST on a VPS I don't have admin privileges so I haven't done the update yet. I am running on a live account and its making money so I don't want to change up to much . I can modify and save the mt4-expert on the VPS myself. I have had some trades drop the SL and TP I am just trying to add some redundant safety measures for my equity. I know I cant backtest the Breakeven but it does seem to be saving some trades on my forward test. I got it working its not moving the TP anymore. here is the fixed EA (not the latest version EA)

You can check the expert on heavy load when set TP and SL to 1 point on Operation tab and start executing orders every 5-10 seconds. In that conditions the expert has to calculate stops first according to the current price and broker's MODE_STOPLEVEL.

I would recommend to use the latest Expert v1.4 from 2011-07-07 as a base for your modifications.

edit >>>> its not working 100% can someone take a look at this I need the EA to check for SL and TP and drop one on an open trade if its running without SL or TP  its almost working it is pushing the TP out as the trade moves it will never hit it.

edit >>> removed broken EA link

edit >>the post above appeared as I was posting looks like a good idea to resend the orders after errors.  I am looking forward to getting the update.

This feature will be available in new FST 1.4 (within next few days).

Protection_Min_Account
If account equity drops below this value, the expert will close out all positions and stop automatic trade.
The value must be set in account currency. Example:
Protection_Min_Account = 700 will close positions if the equity drops below 700 USD (EUR if you account is in EUR).

Protection_Max_StopLoss
The expert checks the open positions at every tick and if found no SL or SL lower (higher for short) than selected, it sets SL to the defined value. The value is in points. Example:
Protection_Max_StopLoss = 200 means 200 pips for 4 digit broker and 20 pips for 5 digit broker.

Check this expert. It corrects SL and TP if "Invalid Stops" error occurred during retries.

Will try it out, if something significant comes up, I'll post.

EA was not stopped, and OrderModify was not successful - at least journals in MT and FST tell me this.

I'm not sure what MT reports. It was designed to protect brokers, not the traders. That is the reason I wrote FSB and FST. As you see the expert is 1700 lines and its purpose is only to execute trades. How many expert have you seen with such depth?

TRADE_RETRY_WAIT  acts after broker returns error. This is the delay to next attempt excluding the order proceeding time.

I can make FST to check SL and TP of the reported position. If they are zeroes or beyond Permanent SL and TP, FST to resend OrderModify with Permanent SL and TP.

That would help, at least 2 modification orders would be sent instead of one.
