Multiple positions opened - bug ?

[skingston]

I created a very simply bot (actually copying from a video) and found it did not work correctly. The only difference is I'm using MT5.

It's opening multiple positions at the same time, even though there is a 'No position/order' check at the top. Is it a bug? I didn't specify any filters for the 'No position/order' - just let them at their defaults, which includes both buy & sell orders.

Shouldn't as long as the groups are correct, check these in all blocks, if needed recreate the project from the start.

I'm sorry, but I can't use your software. Its too buggy.
As I'm a software developer, I had a look at the generated code. The blocks arn't wired up correctly. Its not even executing the "MDL_NoOpenedOrders" block, which is block 0, but starts with block 1 which is a conditional block. I suspect your software has got confused somewhere along the lines, possibly after I created nodes, deleted some & then re-wired them.

The message about being hacked last year due to basic mistakes doesn't give much confidence either.

Have used this for years, not normally buggy, sometimes it is though, you need to decide if you want to manually code, or let FX do it knowing things won't be perfect.

@l-andorrà hi is it opening multiple orders

[jstap]

Change symbol to specified, as is means if no trade on any symbol (asset class) place a trade, so will keep placing...

[gbkvarma]

@jstap i dont think so because its opening multiple positions on the same symbol if i am wrong please correct me

[jstap]

of cause, checks all symbols for trades, if none it places on the symbol you have set in the buy/sell blocks.

@skingston
There may be an error in this block?

The description seems to be mixed up.
You choose symbol mode "specified" but didn't specify a symbol.
Have you tried “any symbol” instead?

[jstap]

You are right, the odd thing is written incorrectly: Specified means if not declaring use the chart symbol

[l'andorrà]

@rfaust Sadly, you are right. I warned the admin about this mistake long ago, but to no avail so far.
