Problem with SL (VE_AIMS?)

Unread post by Tomi »

Hi fellows

Just encountered a weird problem. SL was changing and it jumped all the time between two prices: initial SL and the place where my horizontal line was (that indicates where SL should be). I'm using VE_AIMS.

Metatrader is build 419. Tried to restart metatrader but no help. Also I was going to remove VE_AIMS and reattach to the chart but in that point I closed the trade manually already and doesn't know if that would have helped.

Never seen this kind of problem before.

Missed 3.3 pips because of this one and closed the trade manually...profit still ;)

Kind regards
Tomi

Hi
I've experienced this before, two possible cuases, you may have the VE expert running on another chart like the 5 min as well as 1 min, if so remove the "EA" from one of the charts, you only want the EA on the chart you primarily trade from, for me this is the one minute chart.
The other time I've seen something like this is if I try to move the SL too close to current price - on Alpari it must be 2pips from current price (bid or ask).

Hope this helps
Mike

Hi Mike... Thanks for the suggestions! SL was not too close of the price, that was not the case. However, I had VE_AIMS on two charts. Maybe that caused the issue. Strange if this caused it as I had this setup earlier already. But if the problem occurs, I'll remove extra VE_AIMS instances. Valuable input, thanks!
