Post subject:  Just Exit EA does not work with pending orders

Hi, my name is Alex Hue and I'm new here in the forum. I trade for a few months mainly with demo accounts, and trying here to find a profitable and robust system. The route via Molanis is a very interesting for me.

Here I have a little problem at the moment. I'm programming an EA for exits. I go in the market by a pending order, for example a Buy Stop or a Sell Stop. If I let the EA now run and buy or sell order is triggered, the EA does not work anymore.

In short: The EA for just for exits works when I'm placing an order directly into the market (as I put the Magic numbers = 0). The EA does not work if I place the order as pending orders in the market.

Can anyone help?

With best regards, Alex

You need to check the magic numbers for pendings that turn into market orders. I think market orders have a 0 magic number, so to close your manual orders with an ea you need to set the magic number to 0. If the pendings do not have a magic number of 0, you need to do something custom to close those orders
