Expert Advisor: I need help.
Hi guys,
i´m a new coder and started programming a new ea.
But i have a problem: My order doesn´t get send.
The mt4 backtest says: invalid stoploss #130. I searched an found out, that i need to convert my signal.
I want the Stoploss some points (variable) below the SuperTrend-Indicator.
So look at this:
double TrailingStopLoss = iCustom(NULL,0,"SuperTrend",10,3.0,0,0);
double sl = Bid - (TrailingStopLoss*Point);
........
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,10,sl,0,"My order",16384,0,clrGreen); //Market Order long
What did i wrong?
Would be so glad for help.
Best regards.
Write
Alert(sl," ",Ask);
Then let me see.
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,10,sl,0,"My order",16384,0,clrGreen); //Market Order long
What did i wrong?

double TrailingStopLoss = iCustom(NULL,0,"SuperTrend",10,3.0,0,0); double sl = Bid - (TrailingStopLoss*Point); ........ ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,10,sl,0,"My order",16384,0,clrGreen); //Market Order long
Your sl calculation doesn't make sense
if Point=0.00001 and the indicator value is 1.50000
double sl = Bid - (TrailingStopLoss*Point); double sl = Bid - (1.50000*0.00001); double sl = Bid - 0.000015;
Which is certainly too close to the current price
Thanks guys for the superfast help!
Actually i changed that problem:
int ticket; double TrailingStopLoss = iCustom(NULL,0,"SuperTrend",10,3.0,0,0); double sl = TrailingStopLoss;
I just wrote it in the start function, now its working.
But i got another problem...
I want a Trailingstop based on the SuperTrend-Indicator.
if (Bid > sl) ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,10,sl,0, "My Order",16384,0,Green); //Order soll erstellt werden. // I open my Order if(ticket == 0) { Print("OrderSend failed with error #",GetLastError()); } else Print("OrderSend placed successfully #" + string(ticket)); if( OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET) && OrderCloseTime()==0 ) //Trailingstop, der auf Basis des SuperTrend Indikators nachgezogen werden soll. (Nur für Long) // This is where the Trailingstop is initialized { if( OrderType()==OP_BUY ) { bool ordermodify = OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Open[0]-sl,0,0); //order modify for the ST-Indicator. if (ordermodify == false) {Alert ("Stoploss NICHT nachgezogen! ERROR!");} //Failalert else {Alert ("StopLoss nachgezogen");} } }
As you see i try to initialize a trailingstop. The first stop is set right, but it doesn´t move, when i should. It just stands on the first position, where i opened my position.
Hope i edited everything in the right way for you guys.
I´m very glad that you are helping me.
Best regards.
double TrailingStopLoss = iCustom(NULL,0,"SuperTrend",10,3.0,0,0); double sl = TrailingStopLoss; bool ordermodify = OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Open[0]-sl,0,0);What do you think Open[0]-sl equals?
What do you think Open[0]-sl equals?
Openprice of the new candle - the stoploss point.
In my opinion i should get out the new stoploss level .
Am i wrong?
Openprice of the new candle - the stoploss point.
In my opinion i should get out the new stoploss level .
Am i wrong?
Have a look on your chart, what is the value of the supertrend indicator?
What do you get if you deduct that value from the candle open price?
Do you really want to use that as your stoploss?
Soo let me explain:
The stoploss works like this:
So as you see, the stoploss is just some points below the SuperTrend-Indicator. With every new period, the sl should get below the new ST-Indicator-value.
But as you can see, it just stays below the first point and doesn´t move as it should.
Why everyone is asking, if i want to use that as a stoploss?`In my opinion it works pretty well..... O.o
And to the deduct to the openprice...the definition of the st-indicator is calculated from the closingprice of the last candle...and opening and closing price are most of the time the same.... so what do you mean?
Thanks for spending your time for my problem, i´m so glad. :)
Best regards.
Did you do as I asked?
Have a look on your chart, what is the value of the supertrend indicator?
What do you get if you deduct that value from the candle open price?
Do you really want to use that as your stoploss?
Show me the value of the supertrend indicator.
Show me the candle open price
Show me the calculation for candle open price-supertrend value
Do you really want to use that as your stoploss?
So...here you go:
