Need help finishing this EA

I'm trying to code an EA (using some already made codes) which does the following:

  • Opens two pending orders, a sell stop and a buy stop, at a specific time (in this case 23:00), both with an SL and a TP.
  • Expires the pending order at a certain time (for example at 10:00) and doesn't open any trades on Friday 23:00.
  • If two trades are opened and one reaches the SL, the other has its TP increased to a certain amount (I think an OrderModify will solve something like this).
  • Trades which are open automatically close by 23:00 the next day.

    • The EA is almost done and some previous issues I had were resolved and does most of the above but I still have the following issues and at this point I don't know how to go further, so if anyone could provide the code necessary that would be very helpful.

  • When two trades are open and one hits the stoploss, I need the other trade which is still open to have its take profit increased by a certain amount.
  • Trades are still being opened on Friday 23:00 which I do not want.
  • Any trades which are still open by 23:00 should be closed regardless if they are in loss or profit.

I am a noob at MQL and I have tried looking around for the solutions to some of the issues above and am having trouble finding them. I believe the issues can be resolved quite easily with not so much complicated coding required. If anyone could provide me with a solution or solutions to any of the issues above I would, once again, greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Try something like this :

if((CurrentPriceBuy>UpperPriceTrigger) && TakeAction==1)

{

int ticketBuy = OrderSend(Sym,OP_BUY,Lots,CurrentPriceBuy,0,0,0,Co mm,0,0,CLR_NONE);

if (ticketBuy>-1)

OrderModify(ticketBuy,OrderOpenPrice(),stopLossToUse,takeProfitToUse,0,CLR_NONE);

}

Just replace stopLossToUse and takeLossToUse with the values you wish those to be

Friends,

I'm a newbie to MQL4 programming and need help attaching a SL & TP to an ORDERSEND with an ECN broker.

Initially, I couldn't understand why the SL & TPs were making my order result in an error until someone pointed out that one has to set the StopLoss & TakeProfit field within the ORDERSEND to "0" or else an ECN/STP broker will not execute the order.

So, my question is: How can I execute an order at Market and then immediately (or within a second or two) attach a SL/TP to that ticket?

Here's a piece of the code pertinent to my questino:

if((CurrentPriceBuy>UpperPriceTrigger) && TakeAction==1)

{

OrderSend(Sym,OP_BUY,Lots,CurrentPriceBuy,0,0,0,Comm,0,0,CLR_NONE);

TakeAction=0;

}

Can anyone help me insert code right after the OrderSend command so that I can attach a TP/SL of say arbitrarily 25pips to that specific ticket?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Kasio

It is a decompiled code, but anyway look at this thread : https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/179650

It is one more renamed solar wind, so ...

Any ideas on how to code what I posted? My apologies if I'm being impatient or something, just want to know if it has been read.

Add something like this in your EA at the beginning of start() procedure :
if (TimeDayOfWeek(TimeCurrent())==5 && TimeCurrent()>=StrToTime("22:59")) { CloseAll(); return(0); } [/PHP]

Add this into the code :

[PHP]void CloseAll()

{

for(int cnt=OrdersTotal()-1;cnt>=0;cnt--)

{

OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if (OrderMagicNumber()!=MagicNumber) continue;

//

//

//

//

//

if (OrderType()==OP_BUY || OrderType()==OP_SELL)

{

for(int c=0; c<3; c++)

{

RefreshRates();

if (OrderType()==OP_BUY)

{ double cp = Bid;}

else { cp = Ask;}

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),cp,0,Yellow);

int err=GetLastError();

if(err==4 || err==136 || err==137 || err==138 || err==146)

{

Sleep(5000); continue;

}

break;

}

break;

}

}

}

That will solve your points 2 and 3 (opened orders at Friday)

First point is rather complicated to code - you will probably need to redefine that rule

Please help! Error number = 4103. pos = 10. Cannot Open FIle

Hi,

I am new here and new to MT programming as well. Can anyone help me on this?

I got "An error had occured. Error number = 4103. pos = 10 (cannot open file) message."

The file is saved correctly as gif but I am getting the above message. Where is the problem?

The code:

void Screenshot(int ticket, int cmd, datetime orderOpenTime, double orderOpenPrice)

{

RefreshRates();

if (cmd==OP_BUY) Comment (DateTimeInfo(),"\n","Order Open Time: ",TimeToStr(orderOpenTime,TIME_DATE|TIME_SECONDS)," Buy: ",DoubleToStr(orderOpenPrice,Digits)) ;

if (cmd==OP_SELL) Comment (DateTimeInfo(),"\n","Order Open Time: ",TimeToStr(orderOpenTime,TIME_DATE|TIME_SECONDS)," Sell: ",DoubleToStr(orderOpenPrice,Digits)) ;

string filename = Symbol()+"_"+"Demo"+"_"+ticket+"_Open.gif";

int handle = FileOpen(filename,FILE_CSV|FILE_READ);

if(handle<1)

{

if (GlobalVariableGet("_MonitorScreen_ScreenShot") != 0 )

{

if(!WindowScreenShot(filename,900,600)) Print("WindowScreenShot error: "+GetLastError());

}

}

else FileClose(handle);

}

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

It works OK

The file must be in the experts\files sub-folder and I used as an example ticket number 0, so the full file name was in my example "EURUSD_Demo_0_Open.gif" and it opened it with no problem (it does it OK if you use FILE_CSV as well as with FILE_BIN). So, if it is saved in correct folder and correct name, your code works OK

Thanks. Yes the file is saved in the correct folder and correct name. I might try to use the FILE_BIN instead of FILE_CSV to check if the error message appears again.
