FOREXTESTER2 MOVING PENDING SL TP ORDER ERROR

#1 Postby brokeMike » Sat Feb 14, 2015 10:46 pm

Hi,
I've found a critical bug which makes Forextester2 very much close to useless for me and anyone wanting to move a pending order.
To replicate, set a pending order.. step through time, change the pending order.
The new SL/TP are no longer working, and I'm guess it's still using the older values.

Hello,

Bars are built based on Bid price and Sell order is closed by Ask price. Ask value is higher than Bid price so your order was successfully closed by Ask price when Bid price was lower than TP.

For example, please look at 00:30 of your video. The price on chart is 1.0976 but Market price is 1.0981 in the "Terminal" window.
You have Spread=5 in symbol properties so Bid and Ask values are different by 5 pips.

Please right-click on the chart -> Chart Settings, choose “Chart options” tab, check “Show Ask level” options and press “Ok” button to show Ask value on chart.
