Idea

OK boys and girls

I have been toying with the idea of just creating a CUF (Commonly used functions) - from all i have read you cannot call scripts from within an EA.

Notwithstanding - thinking of a workaround because I dislike being forced to redesign the wheel every time aswell as I am sure it would make things work better this way.

Scripts as everyone knows load do there thing then unload never to load again except if you press your shortcut keys.

This is a major major problem I see with all EA's is they seem to get stuck waiting for some time condition or some cruddy "sleep" condition to pass before they continue. This Makes cancelling and selling in a split second unlikely to happen what is a major failure in extremely volatile conditions what you could make a fortune from in a few seconds.

The solution? Make an CUFF indicator that works on global variables?? Has anyone tried this. The indicator cycles every tick so its perfect.

Darian see my above example of globals. find a script that emails /whistles /does what you want and code it into it. mind you you will have to consider that they all wont go off at precisely the same time so you will have to put a few second /minute delay into it before you reset the variables back to 0.

with Global

can I add a GlobalVarible to an Indicator like this ?

if ( trend[2]0 && Volume[0]>1 && !UpTrendAlert)

{

GlobalVariableSet("trend"+Symbol(),1);

// Print("UP" + GlobalVariableGet("trend"+Symbol()));

Message = " Buy "+Symbol()+" M"+Period()+": Signal for BUY";

if ( AlertMode>0 ) Alert (Message);

UpTrendAlert=true; DownTrendAlert=false;

then call that GlobalVariable in an EA with

int init() {

GlobalVariableDel("trend"+Symbol());

trend = GlobalVariableGet("trend"+Symbol());

Buy = (trend == 1);

Sell = (trend == 2);

all help appreciated

Trouble with Arrays, need some help!

Hi,

I am trying to make a function that determines if any open order is losing more money than a cutoff point (say, $-1000).

The function is then supposed to store the OrderTicket() and the OrderProfit() in two separate arrays, and exit with return (1) to signify that the cutoff point has been reached.

Before it stores the values in those arrays, it should check the OrderTicket() array to see whether this order is already filed.

If the OrderTicket number is already stored in the array, it is supposed to determine if the order has lost an ADDITIONAL $1000, and if so: replace value in the OrderProfit() array with a fresh value, and exit with return(1) to signify that a NEW cutoff point has been reached. If the order has not lost an additional $1000 (called Cutoff) then it should return(0) to signify that no order has lost an additional $1000.

I think I pretty much have it working (not sure??), but for some reason the array gets filled with a lot of '0' values along with the legitimate values. The output of the array is as follows:
