Tickstory

hi,
when i load the mtconfig file for different brokers, the stopout level changes (as would be expected). but my particular broker (armadamarkets) has 0 stop level yet the mtconfig file loads this value as 30. when i then change the value to 0, it drastically changes my backtest results.
can you explain the "stopout mode/stopout level" parameters on tickstory;
how is it different from the parameter "stop lvl";

see picture attached

Hi Ninjaturtle,

These parameters are best explained in the MT4 manual:

http://docs.mql4.com/account/AccountStopoutMode
http://docs.mql4.com/account/AccountStopoutLevel

Hope this helps.

But what does it mean to "Stop lvl"? It's something that's at the bottom of this table. The links don't talk about it.

Hi Tcferreira,

This is the value returned with the EA call:

MarketInfo(querySymbol,MODE_STOPLEVEL);

It represents the minimum distance of your stop price when placing an order.

Hope this helps.
