Tickstory

I just recently purchased and I get this error when I use backtest. It says stops are invalid. This specific EA has 2 pip stops so it is too close. However, my broker has no such limitations and backtesting was fine before purchasing the tick data.

I tried using bigger stops and it works.

How can I modify it such that there are no limitations between distance I place stops?

Thank you

Hi Alchemist,

You'll need to check out your "Stop Level" parameter in your MT4 export settings and match what your broker has. It should read "20" on a 5-digit broker if the stop-loss needs to be at least 2 pips away.

Hope this helps.
