SIDDESH:
Hi,

Can you please give the code for previous bar.

This can be used in the EA to limit placing the orders when the previous bar is more than certain height.

Regards,

SIDDESH

Siddesh and others that can help:

The code for the previous bar is below:

//to buy

double indicatorpast = icustom(....................,1);

double indicatornow = icustom(....................,0);

if (close[1]indicatornow) OpenBUY();

if (close[1]>indicatorpast && close[0]<indicatornow) OpenSELL();

but with this satatement, the expert opens positions not only when the price cross the indicator, it opens position above the indicator too. I want that the expert open position ONLY when it cross the indicator, so i tried that:

//to buy

double indicatorpast = icustom(....................,1);

double indicatornow = icustom(....................,0);

if (close[1]<indicatorpast && close[0]==indicatornow) OpenBUY();

if (close[1]>indicatorpast && close[0]==indicatornow) OpenSELL();

But this statement it is not performing.

Do you know what is happen? Because i think there arent errors in the statement.

The question is why is not opening at the exact point of cross when close[0]==Indicatornow? If the function would be with ==, we will prevent the open of orders above the point of crooss between the indicator and the close of the present bar but is not funtioning with this type of relationship between the variables.

Do you have experimented the same problem? Abyone knows how resolve it?

Because you are looking for an exact match between a returned 8 digit floating point value and price - they will almost never be equal with resolutions like that. Just check for a greater-than or less-than condition.

Global, put this before init()

datetime PreviousBar;[/CODE]

In the order placement and/or order close stuff, wrap it in this:

if(NewBar() == true)

{

if blah blah blah, gimme pips // not actual functions but you get the idea

if blah blah blah, close orders // um

}

Common function outside main loop:

[CODE]//--- returns true if current bar just formed

bool NewBar()

{

if(PreviousBar<Time[0])

{

PreviousBar = Time[0];

return(true);

}

else

{

return(false);

}

return(false);

}

Thanks nitty1 for the help. I'll try it.

Also thanks to waltini & devil2000. I should be able to figure it out now.

Account code for running on Demo freely

Hi:

Can someone tell me what code could be inserted to allow an EA that has account security code in it to also run freely on a demo account so users can test it before going live?

Is this even possible?

Thanks

From the metaeditor:

bool IsDemo()

Returns TRUE if the expert runs on a demo account, otherwise returns FALSE.

Coding "Trend Condition" with StepMA

Buy condition:

StepMA (with Colour Mode: 2) is "long"

Stochastic crosses 20 from below to above

Sell condition:

StepMA (with Colour Mode: 2) is "short"

Stochastic crosses 80 from above to below

double StochCurrent = iStochastic(NULL, 0, 21, 3, 8, MODE_SMA, 0, MODE_MAIN, Bar + 0);

double StochPrevious = iStochastic(NULL, 0, 21, 3, 8, MODE_SMA, 0, MODE_MAIN, Bar + 1);

double TrendLong = iCustom(NULL, 0, "stepma_v7ea", 1, 1.0, 0, 0, 0, 0.0, false, 2, 0, 1, Bar + 0);

double TrendShort = iCustom(NULL, 0, "stepma_v7ea", 1, 1.0, 0, 0, 0, 0.0, false, 2, 0, 2, Bar + 0);

Buy if:

TrendLong && StochCurrent > 20 && StochPrevious < 20

Sell if:

TrendShort && StochCurrent 80

Can someone help me with the code of the "Trend Condition" in the above example, it does not work. I tried to call the buffer 1 and buffer 2 for long and short mode but I don't understand the code of this indicator. Thank you in advance!
