Ok, play around with the terminal settings. It really is a drop dead simple script, so it is defintely the terminal settings that are preventing execution. Also check the Experts Tab at the bottom, along with the Journal tab.

The script is really simple and should have no issues.
Did you install it in the scripts folder? If so, then check your Tools>>Options>>Expert Advisor tab and check that live trading is allowed.

Here is a Close_All script. It uses brute force to close all orders, so it does not use error control and give messages.....it just keeps on trying to close orders until it succeeds.
Also a minor update to the Autostop. I found a bug using Gold(has 4 digits on a 5 digit broker).

Just badly written. Uses the EURUSD to determine number of broker digits, so if you trade a JPY pair you would pick up some problems. Just be sure to test it but a quick run looked ok.

Here you go.

TheLastBear,
I assume that last comment was directed at me. I don't really care for your condescending tone......as you said this is a public forum and I will post as I see fit. If this doesn't suit you, then you know where the moderators are to be found.
Most people post a question in a forum like this to stimulate conversation, which is the spirit in which I responded. Perhaps you know it all, but I am sure there are some people out there that do try and pick up some useful info on these forums.

May be stating the obvious here but spread actually means very little on its own. Spread needs to be backed up by depth of liquidity and there is only 1 way to find that out. You have to run a live account.....a demo account cannot simulate liquidity(or lack thereof).
Any broker can show razor thin spreads but that doesn't help if they can only give you 0.01 lots at that spread. You can tell this is happening when you have many trades that are split. This also seems more prevalent on the closing of trades than opening of trades.

Hi Ben,
Ok, thanks. Screenshot would help and also if you do happen to notice when it happens, it would be good.

When the EA takes over management of a 'bad' trade, it has to start the TP somewhere. This is the Init_Perc(initial percentage). So if you have trade that is 20 pips in the red, it will move the TP to halfway between the open price and the current price ie your TP is set 10 pips above the current price.
The problem here is that over time the price action may continue to move against you, so it is no good for the EA to just follow the price action at a 50% trail. The idea is that the TP will move towards the price action at the decay rate. The rate is % change per minute, so the default of 0.5......

Thanks Ben, its the thought that counts.....lol.
Anyway, it's up on the blog. Come and get it. Requires testing though.
