Hi UKT,

Sorry to ask you again but i still have problem with it. Normally my EA must stop after have losed and restart next day.

When I test it sometimes it makes only one trade, or it makes more trades after have losed in the same day. Moreover, when I parametre the number of loss possible by day, there are no impact in my EA.

I have tried to change something in the code but it still doesn't work, I have not more idea.

Have you an idea to resolve this ?

Thanks for your answers.

The code :

#define SIGNAL_NONE 0
#define SIGNAL_BUY 1
#define SIGNAL_SELL 2
#define SIGNAL_CLOSEBUY 3
#define SIGNAL_CLOSESELL 4
#define SIGNAL_NUMBEROFLOSSPOSTODAY 5

extern int MagicNumber = 0;
extern bool SignalMail = False;
extern bool EachTickMode = True;
extern double Lots = 1.0;
extern int Slippage = 3;
extern bool UseStopLoss = True;
extern int StopLoss = 40;
extern bool UseTakeProfit = True;
extern int TakeProfit =30;
extern bool UseTrailingStop = False;
extern int TrailingStop = 30;
extern bool UseNumbersOfLossPosToday = True;
extern int NumberOfLossPosToday = 1;
int BarCount;
int Current;
bool TickCheck = False;

hi,

look - I am not only user on forum. Also, have not unlimited time to 1. manually format your code so I can attempt to make sense of it; 2. document out just what code presently does and then brainstorm about what it should do.

For me this all takes massive time - there are many others on this site far more capable than me.

I am attempting to manage my own every growing list of design/coding ToDo's and not get into total immersion over someone else's code, ok?

This is maybe harsh but cannot invest what for me is lots of time.

BUT... I would strongly suggest that any code you enter into post via SRC button to be formatted properly, ok?

eg:

int NumberOfLossPosToday(string sy="", int op=-1, int mn=-1)
{
  datetime t;
  int i, k=OrdersHistoryTotal(), kp=0;

  for (i=0; i<k; i++) {
      if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY)) {
          if (OrderType()==OP_BUY || OrderType()==OP_SELL) {
              if (op<0 || OrderType()==op) {
                  if (mn<0 || OrderMagicNumber()==mn) {
                      t=OrderCloseTime();
                      if (Year()==TimeYear(t) && DayOfYear()==TimeDayOfYear(t)) {
                          if (OrderProfit()<0) kp++;
                          if (OrderProfit()<0) Print("#",OrderTicket(),", Profit=",OrderProfit());
                          {
                              Print("NumberOfLossPosToday() = ",NumberOfLossPosToday());
                          }
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
      }
  }
  return(0);
}

Ukt

Good points, well made

Nice bit of code too :)

Sadly my opinion to not use this approach - posted on a.n.other forum - seems not to have been of interest!
