New comment
 

Hello .. I just started using Auto traders few weeks ago, i start writing a small EA .. when i test it using strategy tester it works fine, but when applying it to the live trading it is not working!!

can anybody help me and tells me why?

bellow is my code:

extern double Lots = 0.1;
double MaximumRisk = 0.02;
double DecreaseFactor = 3;
double MovingPeriod = 12;
double MovingShift = 6;

extern double BUY_PRICE=0.0; // get out because we lost and reverse

extern double SELL_PRICE=0.0; // sell and continue forward

extern int TARGET=200; // sell and continue forward

extern int Commission=3;

string LastTrade = "Last_Trade";
string Buy = "Buy";
string Sell = "Sell";


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int CalculateCurrentOrders(string symbol)
{

//---- return orders volume
if(buys>0) return(buys);
else return(-sells);
}

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
double LotsOptimized()
{
double lot=Lots;
int orders=HistoryTotal(); // history orders total
int losses=0; // number of losses orders without a break
//---- select lot size
lot=NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin()*MaximumRisk/1000.0,1);
//---- calcuulate number of losses orders without a break
if(DecreaseFactor>0)
{
for(int i=orders-1;i>=0;i--)
{
if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY)==false) { Print("Error in history!"); }
if(OrderSymbol()!=Symbol() || OrderType()>OP_SELL) continue;
//----
if(OrderProfit()>0) break;
if(OrderProfit()<0) losses++;
}
if(losses>20) lot=NormalizeDouble(lot-lot*losses/DecreaseFactor,1);
}
//---- return lot size
if(lot<0.1) lot=0.1;
return(lot);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Check for open order conditions |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void CheckForOpen()
{
int res;
//---- buy conditions
if (OrdersTotal()==0)
{
if(Bid==BUY_PRICE)
{
res=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,LotsOptimized(),Bid,3,(SELL_PRICE-(Commission*Point)),(BUY_PRICE+(TARGET*Point)),"",MAGICMA,0,Blue);
LastTrade = Buy;
SendMail ("BUY "+Symbol(),"1st Buy Excuted");
PlaySound ("news.wav");
return;
}
}
if(Bid==BUY_PRICE && LastTrade ==Sell)
{
res=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,LotsOptimized(),Bid,3,(SELL_PRICE-(Commission*Point)),(BUY_PRICE+(TARGET*Point)),"",MAGICMA,0,Blue);
LastTrade = Buy;
SendMail ("BUY "+Symbol(),"Buy Excuted");
PlaySound ("news.wav");
return;
}
//---- sell conditions

if (OrdersTotal()==0)
{
if(Ask==SELL_PRICE)
{
res=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,LotsOptimized(),Ask,3,(BUY_PRICE+(Commission*Point)),(SELL_PRICE-(TARGET*Point)),"",MAGICMA,0,Red);
LastTrade = Sell;
SendMail ("SELL "+Symbol(),"1st Sell Excuted");
PlaySound ("news.wav");
return;
}
}

if(Ask==SELL_PRICE && LastTrade ==Buy)
{
res=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,LotsOptimized(),Ask,3,(BUY_PRICE+(Commission*Point)),(SELL_PRICE-(TARGET*Point)),"",MAGICMA,0,Red);
LastTrade = Sell;
SendMail ("SELL "+Symbol(),"Sell Excuted");
PlaySound ("news.wav");
return;
}


//----
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Start function |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void start()
{
//---- check for history and trading
if(IsTradeAllowed()==false) return;
//---- calculate open orders by current symbol
if(CalculateCurrentOrders(Symbol())==0) CheckForOpen();
//----
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

 

if(Bid==BUY_PRICE) // i c that BUY_PRICE declared to 0.0

so, Bid is never gonna be equal to BUY_PRICE

second

use Alert() or Print() to find out GetLastError()

i assume it's 130, use search or google for "error 130" or "ECN broker" also "4/5 digit broker"

& please for the next time


 
BUY_PRICE is a variable, so i think i can change before run the script.
or i have to declare before begin?

IsTradeAllowed() ???????????

 

IsTradeAllowed()

 
thanks DeVries & Giol, do you mean i shall remove this from the code?
 
BUT for All Cases Alarm is generated, which mean that the condition true, the only thing that the order is never placed in live trading, Although it works fine on the tester?!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Ahhh i just noticed that if I allowed auto trading but after a manual confirmation it's working fine.

Can anybody help me? its really so strange!!
