Indicator entry Delay Possible? Won't work , Boolean Needed?

New comment
 

Too overcome a tendancy of too high or too low of a price entry, I have been trying to install a Stochastics

and RSI Overbought and Oversold OpenOrder Delay. In other words, not a set number of bars or time after

the Original entry signal.ONLY Stochastics and RSI for final OPEN_BUY or OPEN_SELL.

I have been using a simple EA to test this with and it will not work. This is easy to determine by just

running the Visual Strategy test with a Stochastics and RSI overlay. It is clearly entering when they are High

in the case of Long and Short when they are low. Maybe ya can't do what I am trying to do here. If not does

this mean using Boolean will get around it?

  1.       static datetime LastEntryDetectedSell; 
      int iBarSe = iBarShift(NULL,0, LastEntryDetectedSell);
    This static HIDES the global variable of the same name - bad. Static is never initialized - bad. iBarSe will always be Bars-1
  2.       res=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,LotsOptimized(),Bid,3,0,0,"",MAGICMA,0,Red);
      return;
    Always test return codes.
  3. You have a pips2dbl but you must adjust TP, SL, AND slippage
    //++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
int     pips2points;    // slippage  3 pips    3=points    30=points
double  pips2dbl;       // Stoploss 15 pips    0.015      0.0150
int     Digits.pips;    // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips)
int     init(){                                                 OptParameters();
     if (Digits % 2 == 1){      // DE30=1/JPY=3/EURUSD=5 forum.mql4.com/43064#515262
                pips2dbl    = Point*10; pips2points = 10;   Digits.pips = 1;
    } else {    pips2dbl    = Point;    pips2points =  1;   Digits.pips = 0; }
    // OrderSend(... Slippage.Pips * pips2points, Bid - StopLossPips * pips2dbl
//---- These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
    /* On ECN brokers you must open first and THEN set stops
    int ticket = OrderSend(..., 0,0,...)
    if (ticket < 0)
       Alert("OrderSend failed: ", GetLastError());
    else if (!OrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET))
       Alert("OrderSelect failed: ", GetLastError());
    else if (!OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), SL, TP, 0)
       Alert("OrderModify failed: ", GetLastError());

  4.    if(Volume[0]>1) return;
    Volume is unreliable you can miss ticks. Bars is unreliable (max bars on chart) Always use time
    static dateTime Time0; if (Time0 == Time[0]) return; Time0 = Time[0];

Thanks, wish I had your knowledge on this.
