Hi Immy. I have an issue with the ve_aims ea and hopefully someone can help. Every time I put the ea on a chart then remove it, the lines stay on the chart. They are not in the objects list, I will reload with a new template, shut down and restart, nothing I do seems to get rid of them. I run several instances of mt4, and the lines show up on every single chart I will open of the same pair which ea left the lines on. I hope this was not already addressed. I did look through the forum but couldn't find anything. Hopefully it's something simple I am overlooking.
Thanks, Craig.

Re: ve_aims leaving lines on chart
Have come across this too when removing AIMS to avoid it affecting trades with other systems. Suggest 1) close pending order before removing VE AIMS using standard MT4 process (right click on order in terminal window, select delete.
2) I use ALT D hotkey I have set to delete any pending order (see video in forum or MT4 help for setting hotkeys to delete orders.
I did see one of the lines with its identifying number in the objects list, but the stop loss one was not identified.
In short, close pending orders before removing the VE AIMS expert advisor and make sure it is inactive before leaving your trading platform unattended. hope this helps

Re: ve_aims leaving lines on chart
Hi Craig
The EA sometimes leaves the stop loss line when I remove the ea mid way before it deletes the lines. This EA can manage multiple orders but must not be used on multiple charts. When you drag one line, the line(s) on other charts remain where they are and so with each incoming tick on each mt4 platform the ea calls for a function and tries to move the SL/tp creating conflict. You may or may not be having that but I thought I'll mention anyway.
As soon as you set an order either market order or pending order the ea sees that and takes appropriate action. The coloured movable lines are in your control , the red dashed lines undeneath the maroon,green,orange lines are the lines indicating the order in the terminal. those are orders on the brokers server. If you remove the ea half way, those lines may stay there, meaning your orders are still active!
I hope this helps

Thanks for the replies. I will set up the hot-key and give it a try.
