Postby andreinvest » 28 Jan 2021

Cancelling the stop, then sending a market order in its place, should be the behaviour you’re observing, once a trade triggers you synthetic stop.

Is this not happening??

I have no issues using this feature my end.

this picture from MC 12

At MC 14 I also have cancelled stop order and no any market orders sending

Also i use Async Mode, maybe have matter. But, as I know it is not possible to work with Emulation in Sync mode

So you are saying that this issue is unique to MC14? I have no experience of live MC14.

MC12 async order emulation works fine.

I had this issue with MC14 when using Binance. I was told emulation using trade price doesn't work atm. I haven't tried it with other brokers to confirm whether its unique to Binance. Using MC12 i use this all the time and it works well.

I can confirm these settings work, in both charts and portfolio trader. Although if you manually move the orders for whatever reason, orders wont trigger, so clearly a bug.

Hello andreinvest,

If a broker does not provide Trade data, then the emulation will not work.

On the screenshot you provided we can see that your data provider is EasyTrade. We do not have any info about the amount and types of data provided by this vendor, you can contact them directly to find out.

We can recommend using Ask and Bid for emulation instead of Trade.

Alternatively, you can try opening Strategy Properties -> Auto Trading tab -> in the Get Real-Time Data section select Chart. In that case the emulator will work, since it will be taking into account chart prices.
