Hey guys first post here. So I’ve recently been getting into forex and am fairly new to the MT4 platform I’ve always just traded the brokers platform and used tradingview, so I’ve been adjusting to the new platform. I’m having a lot of trouble dealing with the FIFO rules where in other markets I’ve never had a problem. So here is the gist of it:
I typically take half of my trade off after a certain profitability level and I keep getting errors such as invalid stop loss / take profit ( my levels are in the correct direction and suitable distances away from my entry/current position. To bypass this I tried to take 2 trades half the size of my normal trade with their own respective take profits and stop losses. When I change one though the platform changes both of them for me without fail!
I’ve looked into 3 separate partial close EA’s but I cannot figure out how to make them take profit at separate pip values for different pairs. I am currently in 4 positions and I base my profit levels off the ATR and that does not help me as each pair has an average range of movement i’m trying to take advantage of, therefore different profit levels. Does anyone have a solution to this problem or possibly a direction to point me in. For more details i’m an American and i’m using IG through MT4 with no problem switching brokers if thats the case but i’ve tried demos with Oanda and forex dot com with the same Dilemma
