Firstly Barry made the call on the broker stop having no name? that got me thinking. So instead of just a line of orders to send to the broker I then changed this to another fixed loss stop! (Chart attached) so the first stop from entry is the vote line stop set @ 4 ATR,s away. The 2nd stop is set to 5 ATR,s away (an extra 1 ATR away this now becomes your broker stop) Then this stop has been enabled as broker stop added to it! (has a name now)(trade plan screen shot attached). Now if you are using the old way as I was (screen attached) and you trade real time to your broker I highly advise the change in your trade plan. With this fix in place your vote line will marry up with your broker price with in a tick or 2 and show true calculations in your testing in your port sim. I don't know if this problem exists in end of day but certainly in real time. This revised trade plan is being used to trade real time to IB Brokers and is seamless and the vote line problem fixed. Thanks Barry on naming the problem.
