Please can some tell me if it is possible to have a date limit in an EA, what I mean is can I set an expiry date in an EA that once it reaches the set date it just stops trading.
It would probably say something like this:-
check date, if date is equal to or grater than (set date) do nothing.
That's the english version, I need the MQL4 version...lol

Weekly High Low.
Can anyone post a weekly High Low indicator like the attached for the daily?
Or maybe change the attached to a weekly for me please.
Thanks in advance.
Use this indicator https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173574/page32 (it is daily, weekly and monthly).
Or this one https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/177792

Hello All
Here is the ea i am using. Can someone please tell me what to change in order to have a BUY-STOP and a SELL_Stop taken at the same time. The way it is now, either a buy-stop or a sell-stop is triggered. i'd like to have both. Secondly, what should i do to limit the number of orders for each candle.
I thank you all in advance.
here is the code:
void start() {
//---- check for history and trading

co=CalculateCurrentOrders(Symbol());

CheckForOpen();
co=CalculateCurrentOrders(Symbol());
if (mkt>0) {
BreakEvenStop(BreakEven,0);
double pcnt =( (AccountEquity()-AccountBalance()) / AccountBalance())*100;
Print("Account equity = ",AccountEquity());
Print("Account balance = ",AccountBalance());
if(pcnt>EquityGainPercent)
{
int total = OrdersTotal();
for(int i=total-1;i>=0;i--)
{

int type = OrderType();
bool result = false;

{

Does anyone know the code to make an EA only work with a certain account number? Thanks!
It is here https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/174194 (post #7)
You ave too many this one
It is here https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/174194 (post #7)
Thanks newdigital.
I have my initialization code (which has a time expiration in it) set up like such:
int init()
{if (TimeCurrent()>D'2008.06.07 12:00:00'){Comment("please renew your subscription"); return(0);}
return(0);
}
}
if (Account != AccountNumber()){
Comment("Trade on account :"+AccountNumber()+" FORBIDDEN!");
return(0);
}else {Comment("");}
And now I am returning this error:
'}' - unbalanced parentheses
What am I doing wrong here? Also, does "int Account = 111111;" go with the EA's setting? Thanks.
