I think that the stuck trades are not really stuck... This is just the feature of the ea. It waits until the positions get to a preset profit level. As at the extreme ends of price turns need sometimes quite a looooot of time to be revisited by the price again, the positions are kept open... According to backtesting it can keep open positions for weeks... The opposite positions provide hedge. Mardingale position sizing provides additional way of increasing hedge/profits. Drawdown is always with the expert. It will always have several lagging positions waiting for the price line to revisit them. Assuming that there are always max 9 open losing positions, which may be 1x, 2x, 4x or 8x etc. times the original lot size (eg. 0,01 in case of Evolution mini) you never know how will it end. On my demo forward testing I have 1341 balance and 904 drawdown. Let's wait...
