You have no idea how this algo works, so please with love, stfu

Do you? So you are saying that at whatever size you are trading at now, if you increase size, it would fail? Why? You are obviously getting entries and exits correct, because you have no losses net.

Encountered an error with the algo today. It ended up with a sizable profit because it took a sell trade that's it's not supposed to lol

The issue has to do with initial trade executing in partials and target incorrectly set up based on the first partial lot instead of the whole position.

Instead of closing the buy order and done for the day, EA continued and sold the market..which in hindsight worked out well.

I thought I had ironed out this issue with partial lots with the dev, but it looks like it didnt' apply on the initial trade, only on the reverse partial situation. Most of the my first trade were full lot execution, so didn't get to see how this would've worked out in live till today.

Its' a pain in the ass having to still deal with critical issues. Thats the problem with debugging in demo, it just can't replicate the live environment, especially the live exhange execution.
