Timed Order

[Enivid]

Hi, thanks for responding.

I am trying to put in a Timed Order to buy a stock if its price is above a certain price at a certain time. So if MSFT is above $100 at noon, then I want the EA to put in a buy order at noon at the market price. I hope that is clearer.

Cheers

No, unfortunately, it cannot do exactly that. You can set the desired price (100) for a market buy order and the maximum distance (in points), but it will work both ways, so if you enter, let's say 50 there, it will only execute the buy order if the price is between 99.50 and 100.50.

Thank you so much for your help. I am trying to figure out how a Buy_Stop works with this EA. I understood a Buy_Stop to be that it would execute the trade if it is above the Stop level. Is that correct?

Yes, a buy stop order gets executed when the price rises to the entry price or above. However, the EA won't be able to create a buy stop order if price is already above your desired entry price.

Okay, thank you very much for the clarification - much appreciated

Yes, I understand why this happens. It's a result of the bug with Math functions in MT4 Build 1421 that appears with some CPU's.
Try using an .ex4 compiled in an older build:

Yeah, I'd tried all of the older version, still not working. I think I have to change my VPS subs.

The key is not to use the older version of the code. You just get the .ex4 of the TO 1.01 but compiled in an older MT4 Build. You then don't install the code on the VPS, just the .ex4. It should help the issue.
