- Is it possible to have an EA that opens more short/long trades while there are positions already opened to the same direction? I.e. if you're long/short, can an EA add to the long/short position?
- Does anyone know as to which brokers allow stop losses/take profits with EAs?
I have a good system manually, but does anyone know how to take the above mentioned issues into account with EAs?

Hi,
I EA can do the same thing you would do manually.
All brokers allow SL/TP. (If not, it's not a broker... just a rip off)

Thanks for the answer. Somehow my EA doesn't work if I use SL/TP. I guess my EA is just bad. Can you tell me more about the "I EA"?

Hi, sounds like your broker is ECN, and your EA does not comply. For ECN brokers you have to send the order in 2 parts, first place the order, then modify it placing the SL and TP
Hope this helps :-)

Hi, thanks.
That's what I've been doing, and it's not too bad to have to add the stop loss or tp later.
It would be great, however, if it was somehow possible to have the EA open multiple trades on top of the old ones i.e. add to your position. But at least I can't make an EA that does that. Could that somehow be possible?
