This is the code: Code: function run() { set(LOGFILE); //StartDate = 2017; BarPeriod = 1; Stop = price() - 0.00046; TakeProfit = price() + 0.00046; enterLong(); //printf("stoploss is %f, takeprofit is %f", Stop, TakeProfit); } THE PROBLEM: It doesn't show the Take Profit when it enter the trade, either in fxcm MT4 and TradingStation platform, either in Oanda desktop platform. It shows Stop Loss. Why is that? Thank you Last edited by zorroborro; 03/06/18 03:12.

Instead, it withholds the TP value until it is time to close the trade/position. @Spirit, Oh I see: Quote: All stop, profit, trail, or entry limits are normally handled by software and controlled at each tick. They are not sent to the broker's server (except for OrderLimit and the 'fake' stop given by StopFactor) and thus not visible to the broker, this way preventing "stop hunting" or similar practices. But then how is the Stop loss visible? But I have to say, its not the one I set up. @AndrewAMD, @Spirit, I would stil like to have a report for myself of all the trades with SL and TP I did. Is it possible with zorro to create csv file for report? Thanks guys
