After reading thru the manuals, I didn't find any information re: the following:

1. In the SELL block, there is "offset" and "expiration minutes". I haven't found any explanation in the manuals for this. Any body know?

2. In another SELL block in another similar EA I created, it does not contain the "offset" nor the "expiration minutes", but rather it has "trailing stop" and "trade management".. Why are the two SELL blocks different, and what do all these different options mean?

3. so, then I executed my EA, and some time later, when I checked on it, it executed a "sell stop" at a pre-determined price. This is a pending order that got filled a short time later. This created now two trades on the same chart with the same EA. My questions are: (a) since the EA is set to only one trade at a time on one chart, why did it fill two trades, and (b) how and why did it put the pending order there to be filled? I am not intending for any pending orders.

Thanks in advance for any help!

The latest user guide is here http://molanis.com/support/manuals
Check page 26. Sell and Sell P are different. Sell P is for Sell Pending.
