Discussion of article "How to Create Your Own Trailing Stop" - page 3

[Lorenz Funderburk]

I have been using the SAR trailing stop according to your program for several years, but I find that it no longer fits my requirments. So I want to try the NRTR method, which I hadn't installed before, by just changing the include call parameters in my EA. Everything else I am doing just as before.

But I am getting the following error message:

'fabct1cN.mq5'    fabct1cN.mq5    1    1

9 error(s), 1 warning(s)        10    2

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Can you tell me why a timer is used in this article? At first glance, it makes the indicators update more often, is it really necessary?

[igorsds]

Thank you. Great article.

For who that are having problem with indicator nrtr: it's necessary download and compile the indicator, because it isn't a default one. Below, it follows the link: https://www.mql5.com/en/code/145

Hi everybody.......well, my question is ¿why this class have not SCOPE OPERATORS (::)?

I try the Parabolic SAR method but doing the backtest i see "invalid request" response.

Hi all.........bien, I wonder why this class doesn't have AMBIT OPERATORS (::)?

I try the Parabolic SAR method but when I do the test-atras I see the response "invalid request".

Hi ...

I am trying to develop an EA I am having problems with "OrderSend". I do not understand programming language very much, I've already tried a lot of solutions and I did not find ... But it does not work. The message

"return value of 'OrderSend' should be checked"

appears ... It contains no errors, however no position is open during tests ... When testing with the demo account I'm not having success. The test runs and no position is opened at any time.

Can someone help me by indicating the necessary adjustments I should make?

 I test it on

BOVESPA (Brazil)/ WINJ17/Demo Account/Metatrade 5

Can someone help me?

Thank's

at first I was happy that there is this article, now I'm sad that I can't use it, maybe I didn't understand something?
