New CloseBy Method

Hello,

the new CloseBy Method prints unnecessary zeros on the chart.

here we can see a series of 2 buys closed:

and in the comment of the closing pos it says: "LockForCloseAll". This is a minor thing but it looks like an other EA is interfering.

Please remove the red text when closing (a buy series) and change the comment to have the name given by the setfile. (maybe "closed by nameinsetfile")

Thanks for the great work since years!

Hello,

The zeros in the chart are less annoying than the fact that a different comment is being used here, the fact that the magic number is confusing, and the fact that double fees are being charged...

Will this all be fixed?

You calculated fees wrong, they remain the same.

Why not to disable this option, if you don't like it?

These are the fees for live trading, not for the test...

That's the broker's responsibility; I can't influence the fees...

What's the point of this feature in the EA? It worked without it... What specific improvements did it make?

and how can I deactivate it?

I didn't ask you to change fees. I asked to check your calculations. CloseBy doesn't add any extra fees.

It significantly improves the speed of closing multiple trades and consequently reduces slippages, which is very useful for grid strategies.

To deactivate it, put false for Use CloseBy for closing.

Here is a good explanation why the CloseBy option is necessary:

Image 6443

CloseBy is forbidden (by the broker) on this live account, so the EA closed orders one by one.

And missed a lot of profits.

With CloseBy allowed, it would open a lock order and fix the profit, then it would close all orders one by another, just fixing the profit on the account balance.

Feel the difference.

How can we know this about our broker? I mean... without doing these live tests.
