Why did not it trigger?
I thought that, when the EA had setup a trade, it would carry out the order, even if the relationship was lost.
It happened again, whilst I was live online.... This was a live account, so that I logged in to the IBFX online chat. This was the dialogue...

Chat InformationYou are now chatting with'Client Services 30'
Client Services 30: Hi, this is Jeffery. How may I assist you?
You: I've currently got a commerce on EURUSD. It's a sell, with a T/P of 1.3147. The price fell to 1.3142. Why did not it trigger?
Client Services 30: If the spread was wide in the time that it might not have triggered. Let me look into that for you. One moment please.
You: I saw it return to that amount another time, along with the spread was ordinary then (I had the exact same thought)
you: It went to 1.3146 the second time
Client Services 30: can you tell what occasions you are taking a look at?
You: Now.... Within the previous hour
you: The previous candle about the M30 chart
Client Services 30: at 13:16 and 13:17 AM that the spread was 6 pips
you: Ouch!
You: Why?
Client Services 30: I'm not certain what the excess volatility was at that moment.
you: OK Thanks.
6 pips has rather a detrimental influence in the EAs. I am up to 6 trades in my 10points3... it is rather important that the transfer closes successfully. Needless to say, the price is now moving
