Could you please try by removing the indicator from the chart and right click on the chart select Object list. click List All and select all by pressing Ctrl+A then press the Del key. then add the indicator again?.
See your open price EUR is 0.9 and it's very far away. and the TP 1.31 which is look like GBP price .

Kind Regards

Anyway to make the indicator update the take profit line, without having to press the button on the panel.

Between placing a stop loss and take profit, then waiting for price action to trigger an entry, price levels change. The stop loss is a constant and the entry level and position size is detected by the indicator. But the extra step of pressing a panel button before executing the script is frustrating.

You have three options for that:
1. Set UseFixedTPDistance to true. TP will be set in pips and will stay at that pips distance.
2. Set ShowATROptions to true and set TP as a multiple of ATR - it will be updating automatically.
3. Click the Take Profit button to make gray (pressed) and it will follow Entry-SL distance automatically.

That works. But if you move the stop loss you have to press the TP button again else it uses the previous stop loss position for the calculation.

When the panel is minimized and you are moving the stop loss multiple times a day, pressing the TP button is a pain.

@peterpies Perhaps, I wasn't clear enough or maybe I just don't understand what you mean, but here is what I had in mind:

@ Envid. Lol I was thinking the same. I was using v2.27. v2.32 seems to be working great.

PSC-Trader sometimes open order without putting SL/TP even there is a value on the script. I checked the log: "PSC-Trader EURUSD M5; Error modifying the order:130".

It was weird that confirmation alert which shows me SL&TP value but order placed without any SL/TP. Is it common error?

v2.32 + ATR is active

 

[Enivid]

@jackrs0 Seeing the entire log of PSC-Trader output would help, but it looks like EUR/USD uses SYMBOL_TRADE_EXECUTION_MARKET execution type in your trading account. This means that the script cannot set SL/TP directly when opening a position. It should first open the trade without SL/TP and then apply SL/TP by modifying the trade. It attempts to do so automatically. However, if the price changes between the trade opening and its modification, the SL or TP may become invalid (due to MODE_STOPLEVEL proximity), and error 130 is generated.

There are the following ways to avoid this problem:

• Use wider SL/TP.
• Switch to an account or instruments with SYMBOL_TRADE_EXECUTION_INSTANT.
• Find a broker with faster order execution, so there is no delay between opening a trade and its modification to add SL/TP.

 

[EnrichWave]

Some broker may be have wider level of stops so you can't set SL, TP very tight.

I have been using it +50 orders in demo acc. smoothly but it was an exception. There is nothing wrong with SL/TP level or my broker side.
The problem was even I see on confirmation alert "your SL:XXX TP:YYY", then click OK to execute order, script went through without SL/TP.
Then I tried to solve it by clicking instant/pending or typing manual TP. Didn't work and kept on going without TP event it was saying.
It solved when I change ATR Timeframe. It might be a tiny bug I'll try again to face it .

As I have said, it would help to see the entire PSC-Trader log output for that trade.

Anyway, the only case when error 130 can occur is when applied SL/TP is either too close to the current price or too close to the entry level. The fact that the confirmation window displayed SL and TP doesn't play a role here.

My MT4 has an error!

Any time I open MT4, the indicator doesn't work. It just removes the indicator and the objects (panel, lines, numbers,...) stand right there. I have to delete them and add PSC every single time.... How can I fix this?

It may be your terminal or any other indicator,Experts removing the Indicator.. Everything works fine as it should be.

Hi, my PSC suddenly started to open positions on wrong levels - tried deleting stuff related to it in mql4 folder, deleting and reinstalling script and indicator and nothing seems to work. Any ideas what could be the cause of this issue? The lot size calculation seems to be ok though.

I don't know!

When I used patch 2.31, it was fine until I updated to 2.32.

Most likely it is caused by some old objects remaining on the chart (perhaps in template too). What does it show in the Experts tab when this happens?

What you can try:
1. Open a new chart from the Market Watch.
2. Check if it has a PSC indicator already attached (this can happen if you saved PSC to the default template). Remove it if it is there.
3. Press Ctrl+B, click List All and delete all objects.
4. Add a new PSC to the chart.
5. Check what its output in the Experts tab is.
6. Restart the platform and check if it helped. If not, check the Experts tab to look what it outputs there.

There are old Entry/SL/TP lines on the chart. Press Ctrl+B on the chart, delete objects called "EntryLine", "StopLossLine", and "TakeProfitLine".

oh... I check the Experts tab and see this!
