You mean the pause in trading for the weekend? If you have trades held over the weekend it will just continue where it left off. You shouldn't have to stop the EA as some trades may be open for days or weeks potentially.
You can open and close manual trades without interrupting the operation of the EA doing it's own independent trades automatically. However, if you have your risk set to account equity, that will impact only so much as your manual trades effect the equity balance.
Hope this helps!

I meant a pause from 8.55 am on 14 April and 15 April day, during which new orders was not open.
For example, the https://www.myfxbook.com/members/flexea/flex-ea-halfgrid-real-fxopen/1371001 monitoring EA was stopped on 30 March, if you look at the history of orders.

It might be the settings that Steve had in which the market did not meet the conditions to trigger a trade. He may even have temporarily took the EA offline manually so that he could adjust settings.

Hello,
Two questions that are not 100% clear to me,
1. I open a number of charts in my MT4. These are the pairs I want to operate in the strategy. Should I open the EA in each of the charts or opening in one will be enough.
2. If I select one strategy and I do not touch anything else, the rest of parameters all be the ones preprogrammed for the strategy ? or I should put all the parameters in 'according to strategy' mode. I mention this because after version 3.3 it is not clear to me (see notes to version 3.3.)
Thanks and regards.

Hi Pablo51, you will need to attach the EA to each chart.
If you leave everything as SetByStrat it will use the default settings that the strategy uses, i.e. TrendSurfer will use the TrendSurfer defaults, however, if you change the setting from SetByStrat, the EA will use that setting instead of the default. Hope that helps. 😁

Thanks Glenn,
Unfortunately for an unknown reason the EA does load only in one chart and refuses to do so in the other charts.. Also, I had the EA running in another account, I disconnected it for a second and later I was unable to load it back. I sent a note to Flex but I can not imagine why this is happening.
Thanks and regards.

Oh, I had that problem with an EA once! There was one of the setting I was forgetting and once I selected it it worked find. Um... let me see if I can remember which one it was.

I actually had my broker help me with that one (FXCM) as it was one of their EAs I downloaded.
P.S. I asked Steve for a copy of the .set file for this EA. Hopefully, he will send to me and I'll share with everyone else here.

The original Trend Trail Stop function is still not working. Steve has the equity trail as a interim fix. So that is the one you want to use instead of the older Trend Trail Stop. The equity trail stop is working fine though and is a good money maker.

Here is the set file for this account, it uses the EquityTrail mode instead of the trailing mode now as the two cannot currently coincide properly. I feel like the EquityTrail will be a much better alternative for Trendsurfer though, not only for ease of use but flexibility as well.
Note that this account is using a 100 DD Stoploss because I like to split my capital across many accounts, so one account blowing is just equivalent to hitting a stoploss. The difference is I have my exposure spread so far across 15+ accounts each trading different strategies with a mix of pairs that blown accounts are far less likely than hitting a 30%ish stoploss on a single account.
Each account is allowed the maximum breathing room to survive much larger draw downs.

Thanks a lot for the set file.
Actually the strategy you mention is the one I plan to follow as well. Splitting the balance among multiple accounts is a nice way to diversify risk.
Can you confirm that the settings you are using are the same as the ones published in your page for the strategies.
Thanks.
