Topic: 2 Issues and a Question

1. See the screen shot where there is a gap in the open position indicator.  What is that about?

2. See the screen shot where the equity graph freezes, stops refreshing, and no longer tracks the actual / live account worth.

3. I would like a clearer indication in FST which orders come from which FST. Like a new tab that shows the open orders when they were opened and their order number--stuff like that. And have on the chart a differentiation between orders by one FST and another. This is pretty important when running multiple FST. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Zachariah.

Re: 2 Issues and a Question

1. The reason for the gap is interruption of the net connection or broker issue. It seams there was not connection for 15 - 20 minutes. When connection was resumed MT4 updated the chart and FST received 4-5 bars at the same time. FST doesn't have info what was happen with the positions during the interruption, but after that it continued calculating signals and plotting positions on the chart.

2. Ill examine further what could be the reason

3. You can track orders in MT4 by its connection ID. Right click on the MT Trade panel and select Comments. You'll see connection ID number plotted for each trade.

Thanks Popov!

3. Does that also mean that if I restart FST with a trade open it will recognize the open trade as "its own" and continue to handle it?

Yes you can. FST is stateless. It doesn't keep any info about position and account in it. Program receives all info from MT at every tick. You can restart FST and it will receive the current trades from MT and will continue executing strategy.

...

The  bug with freezing balance/equity chart is confirmed. I'll fix it soon.
