Hallo

First of all, congratulations.

Now, does anibody here who try to use the VT Trading System builder to make his/her fully automatic trading?
I discovered a bug in this function, 'cause when a trading system condition is verified, VT send orders since my balance is zero...
At first i belive there was some logical error in my customized trading system formula, but it is not.

A second question:

Does anibody know how to set stop loss and take profit by tick number? i.e. i want my TS open a long position when a 10 period moving average cross a 20 period moving average. Now, i would my TS close this position not on the next cross, but when the last price is greater than 10 ticks the price on wich TS opened position; in the same way, it has to call stop loss if last price is lower than 10 ticks the price on wich TS opened positions.

Thank YOU.
