A positive price or distance constitutes an entry stop, a negative price or distance an entry limit.

Does Zorro really internally calculate further on with the negative value if a limit is set this way?

from TMF:

Code:
if(!TradeIsOpen) {																					// cancel trade immediately if price is over/under limit 
	print(TO_LOG,"nTradePriceOpen: %.5f, Entry: %.5f", TradePriceOpen, Entry);										
	if(TradeIsLong && TradePriceOpen > Entry) 
		return 1;
	[...]
}



from log:

Code:
(EURUSD::L) Long 1@1.21739 Entry limit
TradePriceOpen: 1.21735, Entry: -1.21739
(EURUSD::L) Entry 1.2174 removed (TMF)


This is only true if comparing 1.21735 with -1.21739 but the sense of this operation is of course comparing 1.21735 with 1.21739 and enter the trade.

No, all parameters like Stop, Entry, etc. are internally converted to positive price limits that you can read in the TMF.
