See http://www.molanis.com/support/faq#setup16 most likely you are using an ecn or your stops are too small

What do you mean? using an ecn

ECN (Electronic Communications Network). A Forex ECN broker does not have a dealing desk.
All mt4 brokers that use Boston Technologies as a provider are or behave like an ecn.
ECNs do not accept your stops / limits with the order. You need to send the order, after the order generates a position, you add the stops / limits to the positon (the builder does that for you just adjust the option in the START icon)

Hi there, I am reffering to what I underlined above.

We set at the Start Icon 'OrdersDoNotIncludeTpSL', but we still key in the SL and TP points? And that when the order is confirmed you are trying to say the EA will deliver the TP and SL a few (mili)seconds later? We do not do this manually?

Yes with ecns the order is sent first and then the stops - the time it takes depend on the server response time to the order

If OrderIncludeTPSL is set to false does it work on non-ECN as well?

Yes. But it is not recommended - it is better to send the limits with the order when possible

So it works on non-ECN as well.

And it is not recommended due the same reason as in ECN, which is "delay", which could cause "invalid stops" if the prices moves too fast?
