Help with using EA to change Take Profit

Hi,

I currently have an EA that opens buy or sell positions every 50 pips (grid trading). Each position that is opened has a unique take profit level (TP).

Position 1 == Buy EURUSD @1.4000 with TP: 1.5000

Position 2 == Buy EURUSD @1.3950 with TP: 1.4050

What sort of programming logic can i use to write code such that:

- TP of Position 1 will be automatically changed to TP of Position 2 (when Position 2 is opened)

- If more than 2 positions are opened (e.g. 4 positions), all TP will be automatically changed to the TP of the most recent position opened (in this case Position 4)

Appreciate any advise.

Hello,

I have sometimes a problem with the High_Low ZigZag Indicator which I use, if somebody can help me to slove it, I can also donate him some money with paypal if he want, because the problem annoyed me long enough.

The problem is show on the pictures wich I attached here, sometimes when I shut down my terminal and restart it then the indicator draws not correct lines first if I restart the indicator it draws again correct.

Regards

Tim

You need to take a note of the time the order opened at with a code like this:

OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,Slippage,StopLoss,TakeProfit,ExpertComment,MagicNumber);

OpenTradeTime = Time[0];[/PHP]

And then use this code to close the trade after 1 bar:

[PHP]OpenTradeBar = iBarShift(NULL,0,OpenTradeTime,true);

for(int cnt=0;cnt<OrdersTotal();cnt++)

{

OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if(OrderType()==OP_BUY && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber && OpenTradeBar>=ExitBars && ExitBars>0)

{

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,5,Yellow);

}

if(OrderType()==OP_SELL && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber && OpenTradeBar>=ExitBars && ExitBars>0)

{

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Ask,5,Yellow);

}

}

Thanks Guru that works very well.

Could a similar script be used for the opening of a position.

Remote indicator control

Hi. I'm trying to use my EA to control an indicator I've written. I have exposed an extern double in the indicator which it uses on every tick to set its horizontal level. If it gets no new info in continues on its present course. I want to use the indicator as a stop out so I need the EA to be able to synchronize buy in and sell outs.

I assumed using

double somedisposedofvalue = iCustom(null, 0, "AntariesRising", [value], 0, 0);

would restart the constructor or at least update the variable, but this doesn't appear to be the case. I'm not sure if its creating an off screen instance of the indicator or its using the one I've instantiated, or if theres just another function I can call custom extern variables from.

Thanks
