Below the code applied on MT4

Code:

function run(){

	set(LOGFILE);  // generate and use optimized parameters
	LookBack = 1;
	BarPeriod = 1; 
	assetList("AssetsFXCM10cross");
	asset("EUR/USD");
	LotAmount = 14000;
	if (NumOpenTotal<1){
		enterShort();
		Stop=PIP*50;
		TakeProfit=PIP*50;
	}
	
}

I only see an entry short and no exits.

Oh, I see you�re trying to set stops, but you need to set that up **before** you enter short. So it needs to be fixed.

Fix the stop, upgrade to 1.96, and update the Zorro.mq4 EA. If you then still have problems, please contact Support with the Zorro and MT4 logs.

Thanks Andrew, your contribution is very useful

I add my doubt.
I see that the stop is sent to the broker while the profit is not sent but when it's reached the position exit correctly.
The TakeProfit it's executed like a market order?
Is it possible to set it like a pending order?

thanks again
