Parameter: “HandleSLPTByEA

Can someone tell me where to find the parameter “HandleSLPTByEA”? The help file says the function of this parameter is “Whether to handle SL/PT by EA instead of by broker. Use only at your own risk. If your MT4 crashes, your trades will be left without any stop loss protection! Not recommended.”

I can’t seem to find it in any of the parameter settings in SQ 3.8.2 or in any of the mq4 code.

Thanks in advance.

Please explain in detail what you are trying to do, i will try to help you

Hi Karish:

Thanks for reaching out. Since I seem to have frequent problems with the SL and TP getting set by the EA with the broker, I am considering letting the EA handle managing the trades SL and TP without relying on the broker. I have other EAs that do this and they work fine as long as MT4 is running. Since my MT4/EA is on a VPS hosted with the broker for minimum latency, and my uptime has been acceptable, I’m willing to give it a shot.

The primary goal is to get the trade management problem resolved.

I think that there is a problem with your code folder, you should try re-installing SQ and export your EA again.

Do you see the “HandleSLPTByEA” parameter in any of your SQ settings or mq4 code?

no it does not exist, it probbly built into the SQ platform and not extendable, try to re-install your SQ instance then try to see if the problem have been solved, SLs & TPs should be activated,
