Programming help..
Hello,
I've been fooling around with the MQL API and I have made an indicator and a EA that uses information from the indicator.
Indicator plots potential buy and sell levels but never both at the same time. The EA was made to scalp the M1.
What I want the EA to do:
Make 1 trade at a time. Set stopsells on the short level, change the stopsell price as the stop-level rises. and vise versa for long.
What it actually does:
Because I don't really understand how to make pending orders, then change them as the stop level rises, I have it simply set to:
if(Ask==ShortLine){ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL...
This results in multiple trades. & usually misses the sell price/buy price recommendation
It also does only long trades..
If anyone is willing to help me out, I'll share my code.
Attached is pictures from a backtest
Only trading $0.10/pip lot on about 25 days worth of ticks.
I used visual mode to see if the trades were being done properly and they were NOT as the EA does not account for the change in the recommended price. I cannot figure out how to account for the change in the programming EA. This is where majority of the losses are from.
Simple, replace OP_BUY or OP_SELL with one of the functions described below:
2 types of pending orders:
1. Limit order: (ie: price retreats back to the level you want to buy or sell, use functions OP_BUYLIMIT or OP_SELLLIMIT)
2. Stop order : ( ie for breakout trades, use functions OP_BUYSTOP or SP_SELLSTOP)
Check the documentation for the exact syntax.
