MA cross problem
try
if(iMA(NULL,60,12,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0)>=iMA(NULL,60,26,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0))
try
if(iMA(NULL,60,12,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0)>=iMA(NULL,60,26,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0))
Hi
That did not work as planned although the EA carried out orders. As soon as the MA lines meet the EA just executed buy orders till there is insufficient margin.
// try M15, Lots 0.1, Slipage 0
// if(iMA(NULL, 15, 12, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 0) >= iMA(NULL, 15, 26, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 0))
double eMA12_0 = iMA(NULL, 0, 12, 1, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 0);
double eMA12_1 = iMA(NULL, 0, 12, 1, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 1);
double eMA26_0 = iMA(NULL, 0, 26, 1, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 0);
double eMA26_1 = iMA(NULL, 0, 26, 1, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 1);
// ----
if( eMA12_0 > eMA26_0 && eMA12_1 < eMA26_1
&& OrdersTotal()<1)
{ OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, 0.1, Ask, 0, 0, 0, "Test Long", 29072010, 0, Green); }
if( eMA12_0 < eMA26_0 && eMA12_1 > eMA26_1
&& OrdersTotal()<1)
{ OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, 0.1, Bid, 0, 0, 0, "Test Short", 29072010, 0, Red); }
// ----
Bingo
The condition could never be fulfilled as the 2MAs are never equal due to not normalizing the double value on them.

Hi
Can anyone advise me what is wrong with this code? Logic is to long 2 lots when 12EMA and 26 EMA meets, however backtesting this EA resulted in zero trades executed.
/+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()
{
if(iMA(NULL,60,12,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0)==iMA(NULL,60,26,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0))
OrderSend("EURUSD",OP_BUY,lot_size*2,Ask,3,0,0,NULL,0,0,Red); //enter market long order for 2lots
//----
return(0);
}
