EA for each currency pair - what code to open only once per currency pair?
Each currency pair to have it's own GlobalVariable, for example "MyEA_EURUSD".
If you were restricting the EA to one trade per day the code would be:
string sCheck = "MyEA_" + Symbol();
datetime t = TimeCurrent();
datetime tTrade = t - TimeHour(t)*60*60 - TimeMinute(t)*60 - TimeSeconds(t);
if(!GlobalVariableCheck(sCheck)) GlobalVariableSet(sCheck, tTrade -PERIOD_D1 * 60);
if(GlobalVariableGet(sCheck) < tTrade) {
OrderSend(......);
GlobalVariableSet(sCheck, tTrade);
}
Sorry for bringing this back to the top but i'm having the same problem right now. Unfortunately sxTed didn't answered the question to me. Because describing a trading time is something different than the amount of orders for each currency pairs.
I tried to modify sxTed's lines but I think I failed horrible in solving this problem:
string sCheck = "MyEA_" + Symbol(); // already the first error in the code, second quotes should be at the end of the line. //I would correct this one to: string sCheck = "MyEA_ + Symbol()"; //However symbol() is not a function anymore ?? int start () { // Closing Orders here if(!GlobalVariableCheck(sCheck)) //checking Globalvariable, GV available so it becomes true (independently of what kind of GV we have)... GlobalVariableSet(sCheck, Symbol() ); //.. assigning a new GlobalVariable to the function of the current symbol the EA is attached on (does it actually work like this?) if(GlobalVariableGet(sCheck) == Symbol()) { // checking if our Symbol is the one which the EA is attached on --> becomes true... // Order Criteria (Open trades here) // What now? Actually i'm missing any kind of numbers or smth that limits the open orders per currency pair.
PLEASE: don't link me to any literature at this place or tell me to hire someone, i'm studying the book right now and got stucked!!!
For each currency pair I use a separate EA.
To verify if an position should be opened, I test if there is no open order "if (OrdersTotal<1)" but this will block all other currency pairs to open positions and I miss opportunities.
In other words: I want to open only one position per currency pair = multiple positions should be possible but in different currency pairs.
What code should I use instead of the "if (OrdersTotal<1)"? Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance for your help.
int total=OrdersTotal();
int count = 0;
int magno = 12345;
for(int pos=0;pos<total;pos++) {
if(OrderSelect(pos,SELECT_BY_POS) == false) continue;
if (OrderMagicNumber() != magno) continue;
if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol()) continue;
count++;
}
// Now you know how many orders for this symbol are open by this EA.
if (count < 1) {
// do something - open order perhaps
}

int total=OrdersTotal();
limits the total openorders of ALL currency pairs or not?
I inserted your code as followed
int total=OrdersTotal(); int count = 0; for(int pos=0;pos<total;pos++) { if(OrderSelect(pos,SELECT_BY_POS) == false) continue; if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol()) continue; count++; } if (Sell_1_1 < Sell_1_2 && CloseSell1_1 > CloseSell1_2 && count < 1) Order = SIGNAL_SELL; // Trigger for Sell if (Buy_1_1 > Buy_1_2 && CloseBuy1_1 < CloseBuy1_2 && count < 1) Order = SIGNAL_BUY; // Trigger for Buy if (order == SIGNAL_BUY) { OrderSend(...) }
and it's still opening only one trade at all. What was sxTed trying to tell us with his global variable?

How many charts do you have your EA on ?
For testing the code i opened 5 charts but I want to open N charts. The amount shall not matter.

Code it like this :
int Total_Order = OrdersTotal(); for (pos = 0; pos <= Total_Order; pos ++) { if (OrderSelect (pos, SELECT_BY_POS) == true) { if (OrderSymbol () == Symbol ()) { Print (":( Sorry already have that symbol opened "); // get outta here do something else break ; } else { Print ("No order opened for this symbol"); Print ("Let\'s call waitress and order some drink :)"); // do some order then break out and get out } } }
