Pending orders

I just use the following to set up 2 pending orders, with 1 pending buy order located at DS pips above the current price, and 1 pending sell order located at DS pips below the current price:

 

Enter at stop:

Direction: Long

Price: GBPUSD [0] + ConvertToRealPips(DS)

Quantity: LBU

Magic Number: 1001

Stop Loss: SL

 

Enter at stop:

Direction: Short

Price: GBPUSD [0] – ConvertToRealPips(DS)

Quantity: LSD

Magic Number: 2002

Stop Loss: SL

 

 

How come I ended up only getting the sell stop set up on the MT4?

 

 

 

 

Instead of GBPUSD [0], I use “Ask” for long pending, and “Bid” for short pending. It works for me.

Your method works. Thanks.
