Invisible Stoploss
I have and EA that places two hedged orders on one currency pair. I believe it is possible to set it up so that it uses an invisible StopLoss, so to speak. Basically, what I'm thinking is to define, for example, a variable like Buy_StopLoss and Sell_Stoploss, and then define in some Close Order logic the following:
if (Bid == OrderOpenPrice() + Buy_StopLoss) Order = SIGNAL_CLOSEBUY;
if (Order == SIGNAL_CLOSEBUY) {
OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Bid, Slippage, Yellow);
if (!EachTickMode) BarCount = Bars;
IsTrade = False;
continue;
}
}
} else {
if (Ask == OrderOpenPrice() + Sell_StopLoss) Order = SIGNAL_CLOSESELL;
if (Order == SIGNAL_CLOSESELL) {
OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Ask, Slippage, Yellow);
if (!EachTickMode) BarCount = Bars;
IsTrade = False;
continue;
My question is
1. Will this work??
2. Does the EA know which OrderOpenPrice() to use to close the correct order??
You have to run that in a loop where the order is selected; then OrderOpenPrice() and OrderTicket() are defined.
If your Buy_StopLoss is in pips, do not forget to multiply it by Point.
hi all, i'm trying to create a new indicator to display alerts for some variables of _madrogoldenfilter indicator
i'm using:
madroup=iCustom(NULL,0,"_MadroGoldenFilter",5,15,1,1,8,17,9,21,14,14,14,14,5,lookupidx);
madrodown=iCustom(NULL,0,"_MadroGoldenFilter",5,15,1,1,8,17,9,21,14,14,14,14,4,lookupidx);
if (madroup>0.1)maval=1;
else
maval= 0;
but it's not working. I think it's because the variables in madrogoldenfilter don't always have values.
Any hints on how to call those values from madro variables?

I trying to add alerts when the grey/gold little squares appear (value 5 and value 6 from madrogoldenfilter indicator window)

Sometimes, when the variables don't have values, they default to the maximum value which is something like: 235465464654... It's some really huge number. That could be causing your problem.

hum I tried
if (madroup>0.1 && madroup<1)because when madroup has a value, it's always 0.22
but to no avail :P
Where to download the script for ProfitProtector Expert Advisor
Hi codersguru,
I am very new to the MQL4 programming. I have downloaded your pdf manual. And I have found that you have explained the code snippets very well in the manual. I am very interested in learning about the Expert Advisor and surprised to learn that you can do a lot of things with this language for trading. In the manual, you have mentioned that I can download the ProfitProtector script from your site. So far, I am not able to find the script. Please guide me how to download the sample script.
Thanks
Guideline or Template to Make an MTF Version of an Indicator
Hi.
I have requested in other threads for help to make an MTF version for the RMI Indicator which I substitute for RSI.
Since no one seems interested, I might just as well take a crack at doing it.
Could someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction where I can find the code to add to make the MTF version or maybe at least learn to make MTF versions of Indicators. I know not all indicators can have MTF versions.
Thank you in advance to whoever can help.

Heiken Ashi within an ea help please
I have the following code in a ea, but I am looking for a way so that it will only enter a new trade if Heiken Ashi has changed from one color to the other colour and back again. eg. it enters a trade when blue and exits once profit is hit. Now it can not enter again untill it turns red and the back to blue.
bool CheckHeikenAshi(int cmd)
{
haOpen = iCustom(NULL,0,"Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed",MaMetod,MaPeriod,2,1);
haClose = iCustom(NULL,0,"Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed",MaMetod,MaPeriod,3,1);
switch (cmd)
{
case OP_BUY : if (haOpen < haClose) return(true);
break;
case OP_SELL : if (haOpen > haClose) return(true);
}
return(false);
}
Thanks in advance.
