How to use function to differentiate between opened orders and pending orders?

Thanks.
How to use function to differentiate between opened orders and pending orders? Thanks.
Check the OrderType() :
OrderType() == OP_BUY //BuyOrder (opened)
OrderType() == OP_SELL //Sell Order (opened)
OrderType() == OP_BUYLIMIT //Buy limit Order (pending)
OrderType() == OP_SELLLIMIT //Sell limit Order (pending)
OrderType() == OP_BUYSTOP //Buy stop Order (pending)
OrderType() == OP_SELLSTOP //Sell stop Order (pending)
iMAOnArray in EA
Hi folks,
I am trying to do an EMA based on crossings of moving averages on indicators (e.g., CCI, Force, RSI). However, I cannot fathom how to declare an array and run the iMAOnArray function to make variables.
For example, in the code below I want to put RSI data for the chart in a buffer and then utilize the data to produce a moving average with which to trigger trades. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
autumn
double RSI[];
ArrayResize(RSI,Bars);
ArraySetAsSeries(RSI,true);
for(int i=Bars; i>=0; i--)
{
RSI = (iRSI(NULL,0,RSIPeriod,RSIPrice,i));
}
double Green0 = iMAOnArray(RSI,0,GreenPeriod,0,GreenPrice,0);
Hello
anyone has the step-momentum with alert?
It will be a great indicator i think
thanks
regards!
Close trade by level
Hi, I like to know how to close trade when price reached certain level. Say, 55 point above MA line. I tried to include the MA in the TakeProfit part of OrderSend, but tester reject my EA with: "invalid something" error message. Thank you.
Hi, I like to know how to close trade when price reached certain level. Say, 55 point above MA line. I tried to include the MA in the TakeProfit part of OrderSend, but tester reject my EA with: "invalid something" error message. Thank you.
First of all get the moving average:
double MA = iMA(...);
then calculate the TakeProfit like this:
double TP = MA + (55*Point); // or TP = MA-(55*Point); in the Sell case.
It works!!
Hey, thanks, CodersGuru. It does work. But it also makes me think: If I can move take profit to a certain level which isn't static, I can do the same with my stoploss (without using trailingstop).
And I tried.
It did work, with bad result. So, I guess I have to do with trailingstop. Is that correct? (Mind you, I haven't learn how to code trailingstop yet.)
thank you.
Internal trailing stop
Hey, thanks, CodersGuru. It does work. But it also makes me think: If I can move take profit to a certain level which isn't static, I can do the same with my stoploss (without using trailingstop).

thank you.I did something like this for an internal trailing stop: (this is example for a long order) It seems to work. Hope this helps.
extern int Trailing_Stop=20;
static double Trailing_Long;
bool Read_Long_Open;
if (Insert your long entry decision)
{
Ordersend() function here
Read_Long_Open=true;
}
if (Read_Long_Open==true)
{
if(OrderSelect(T_1L, SELECT_BY_TICKET)==true)
{
Trailing_Long=OrderOpenPrice();
Print(" Trailing_Long =",Trailing_Long);
Read_Long_Open=false;
}
}
if (Read_Long_Open==false)
{
if (Trailing_Long < Bid)
{
Trailing_Long=Bid;
Print("Adjusted Trailing_Long =",Trailing_Long);
}
}
if (Bid <= Trailing_Long-Trailing_Stop*Point)
{
OrderClose() function
Print("Long Order Closed");
}
Thanks
Hi, Wolfe,
I tried your code, but got more negatif result instead. Please don't ask why, cos I don't know the answer either. Mind you, I'm still in hit-and-run phase in coding. But thanks anyway, your code had give me enough inspiration to write my own with enough result for me.
So, thanks.
