Doing something in the middle of two simultaneous trades?
I have an EA that uses a strategy that involves at one point two trades going off at the same time.
Is it hedging?
I want to be able to set two different values for each trade using the same function.
What type of values?
I am using a simple assumed-loss martingale for testing purposes, and both trades stay the same value
Same as above .. what value?
I can show code if needed
Yeah, I'll recommend the code and some more clarification of what you are tying to accomplish.

When it makes a buy and sell call at the same time, the risk loop does not increment so it ends up smashing my martingale. Is there a way to fix this while preserving most of the code?
you still havent explained exactly what it is your trying to change, you said you want two different values for each of the trades, are you saying you want two different lot sizes ?

I am trying to change the lot sizes while preserving the loops incrementation.
The hedge trade and the buy trade go off at the same time, and I think that's the reason why the loop doesn't double, but I could be wrong.
Does that make sense? I just don't want to make something too long that noone reads it =/
A) By using different Magic Numbers for the two trade types, would that help your looping?
B) I think that MAGICMA is WAY too big. I thought it was limited to between –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647

Hi!
I have an EA that uses a strategy that involves at one point two trades going off at the same time. At first it was just a place holder, then it turned out to be rather effective! I want to be able to set two different values for each trade using the same function.
I am using a simple assumed-loss martingale for testing purposes, and both trades stay the same value, which messes up the strat entirely.
Is there a way around this?
I can show code if needed. Or, can someone point me to articles that show this? The search function didn't seem to work at all when I tried it today. No jokes.
Thanks!!
