The code contains lots of stuff like this...

Code:

buyStop.Generate(StrategyInfo.AvgEntryPrice + 0.0020);

which will work fine on Forex, the + 0.0020 means 20 pips. But this is not ok for CFDs (also not for JPY) because a pip on SPX500 for example is not 0.0001. So, the problem was that the stops/limits were being place much too close to the price, and they would trigger immediately.

The "usual" method to convert from pips to price is to do this...

Code:

buyStop.Generate(StrategyInfo.AvgEntryPrice + 20 * (10 * Bars.Point));

Which converts the pips to price using x10, is because Bars.Point is the value of a fractional pip (i.e. 0.00001 on EUR/USD for example).

This should change now work for your SPX500 CFD

However, unfortunately, this is not the end of the story, because most CFDs do not have factional pip pricing, e.g. UK100, and there doesn't seem any easy way to work around this other than having a lookup function which finds out if the conversion should be x10 or x1

Hello,

If a stEA calculates/determines position-size/numlot according to say Balance and the account setting performs rollover (auto position reset, close/open) midnight/close of market - whatever the time that happens everyday.
If on a particular day a position is in the money such that position-size calculation/result would raise from say one to two; when rollover is performed is this change effected; do we see the new position change from one numlot to two numlots or would rollover never have anything to do with changing such things as position-size and is only concerned with rollover of position "as is" leaving all other factors constant?

Regards

It won't change the position size of a open position. But you can generate extra lot with another order to handle this situation.

Hi,

Whatever Data Range 100, 500, 1000 Bars Back I set SWE30 doesn't get me the required bars - see image attached, thereby by failing attachment of both Indicators and Strategy Advisors due to "Not enough series length." Kindly advise.

Hi Ziklag,

Thanks for reporting. We are aware of this issue. SUI30, UKOil have the same problem getting historical data.
