New Order at same Price

[delandee]

Hello :)

I need your help for a trick in my EA.

How to place a BUY STOP at price when there is no BUY STOP at this price and while this level stay activ ?

I send buy stop order at level, order was executed and reaches his TP, price fall under the level, how can I  send a new buy stop order with same conditions ?

Here is an exemple :

bool activLevel1 = true;
double level1 = 0.85412;

if (activLevel1 && NO BUY STOP AT THIS LEVEL && Close[0] < level1 - 50 * Point)
{
   OrderSend(...OP_BUYSTOP...);
}

Thanks for your help :)

Hi,

I posted in the forum MQL5 but my problem is on mt4, sorry...

I give you the real code to be more precise

double supportLvl[10][2] = {0.0, 0.12345,  1.0, 0.23456,  1.0, 0.34567, ... } //{Activ, Price}

for(int cnt=OrdersTotal()-1; cnt>=0; cnt--)
{
   if(OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
   {
      if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber && OrderType()==OP_BUYSTOP)
      {
         for(int cnt2 = ArrayRange(supportLvl,0)-1; cnt2=>0; cnt2--)
         {
            if(supportLvl[cnt2][0] == 1.0 && supportLvl[cnt2][1] == OrderOpenPrice())
            {
               //Order is already sent
            }
            else if(supportLvl[cnt2][0] == 0.0)
            {
              //Order does not need to be sent
            }
            else
            {
               //Order not sent at this time but it can be on the next loop...
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

So, how can I be sure that the order was not placed for each level and only at the end of control, place it if necessary ?

Thanks for your help :)

can someone help me please ?

you need to place a print message after the final else using the Print()function. Refer to 'MQL4 language for NewbiesDifficult Questions in Simple Phrases' by Antoniuk Oleg. for loop.

Maybe like so?

   double supportLvl[10][2]={0.0,0.1234,0.0,0.2345,0.0,0.3456,... } //{Activ, Price}

   for(int cnt2=ArrayRange(supportLvl,0)-1; cnt2=>0; cnt2--)
     {
      for(int cnt=OrdersTotal()-1; cnt>=0; cnt--)
        {
         if(OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
           {
            if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber && OrderType()==OP_BUYSTOP)
              {
               if(supportLvl[cnt2][0]==0.0 && supportLvl[cnt2][1]==NormalizeDouble(OrderOpenPrice(),4))
                 {
                  //Order is already sent
                  supportLvl[cnt2][0]=1.0;
                 }                   
               else if(supportLvl[cnt2][0]==1.0 && supportLvl[cnt2][1]!=NormalizeDouble(OrderOpenPrice(),4))
                 {
                  //Order does not need to be sent
                  supportLvl[cnt2][0]=0.0;
                 }
               else
                 {
                  //Order not sent at this time but it can be on the next loop...
                 }
              }
           }
        }
     }

Thanks but I think my multi dimensional array makes example too complicated.

New (more simple) explanation:

I have supports levels, each time price fall under one of the levels and there is no OP_BUY and no OP_BUYSTOP at this price, place buy stop at this level.

levels are stored in a simple Array => levels[10] = {0.12345, 0.23456, 0.34567, ...}

Price is at 1.0000, goes at 0.9995, no OP_BUY and no OP_BUYSTOP at 1.0000 so sends OP_BUYSTOP at 1.0000, price goes up to 1.0000 and activates BUYSTOP, goes more up to 1.0100 and hits BUY Take profit, goes at 0.9993, no OP_BUY and no OP_BUYSTOP at 1.0000 so sends OP_BUYSTOP at 1.0000 .....

Sorry for my very poor english and thanks for your help.

   double supportLvl[10]={ 0.12345,0.23456,0.34567,... } //{Activ, Price}

   for(int lvl=0;lvl<10;lvl++)
     {
      if(Ask+50*_Point<supportLvl[lvl])
        {
         for(int cnt=OrdersTotal()-1; cnt>=0; cnt--)
           {
            if(!OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES) || 
               OrderSymbol()!=Symbol() || 
               OrderMagicNumber()!=MagicNumber || 
               OrderType()!=OP_BUYSTOP)
               continue;
            //---
            if(OrderOpenPrice()!=supportLvl[lvl])
               OrderSend(OP_BUYSTOP...);
           }
        }
     }

Thanks pipPod, it's almost that, but this code doesn't check if there is already OP_BUY at level.

In addition, the EA places a OP_BUYSTOP at each new tick :/

[Ernst Van Der Merwe]

Yeah the code isn't tested and only for suggestion. Maybe if you work with the ticket numbers?

   double supportLvl[10]={ 0.12345,0.23456,0.34567,... } //{Activ, Price}
   int ticket[10]={0,0,0,...}

   for(int lvl=0;lvl<10;lvl++)
     {
      if(!ticket[lvl] && Ask+50*_Point<supportLvl[lvl])
         ticket[lvl]=OrderSend(OP_BUYSTOP...);
     }
   //---
   if(OrderClose(...)
      for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
         if(ticket[i]==OrderTicket() || supportLvl[i]==OrderOpenPrice())
            ticket[i]=0;

Good idea, but what about orders not closed by OrderClose function but closed by reaching TP ?

I really apreciate your spendt time to help me. Thanks !!
