Ok, I'll try it when I get home but then why does it still work with Buy orders already? Thanks
You could be in a Sell order, but the price meets the condition for the Buy stop change code, so it gets changed, and no longer meets the conditions for the Sell section, so it doesn't get changed there.

Thanks Big Be for your help but I just realized that my old code does work but I have to enable the use of a StopLoss for SELL orders to get modified..
Wierd, that I don't need to enable a TakeProfit for MoveStopOnce to work with a BUY order but I have to enable a StopLoss for MoveStopOnce to modify the SELL order.
Oh, well, I'll have to look at the code a little deeper to figure that one out unless you know why.
EDIT: if you change to;
if(0 < OrderOpenPrice() - Point * MoveStopTo) {
[/code]
instead of;
[code]
if(OrderStopLoss() < OrderOpenPrice() - Point * MoveStopTo) {
Seems to work good.
Thanks
Need Help with Position Sizing Calculator
OK,
so I'm building a Position Sizing calculator as a function based on the "Kelly Formula"
(Win Rate-((1-Win Rate)/(Avg Win/Avg Loss)
I've got the over all code and calculations working with manual inputs (extern) for the required variables and am now trying to get the function working dynamically by calling certain account information (namely I want to calculate the Winning consistency rate (%), the avg # pips per winning trade, and the avg # pips per lossing trade)
I could use any and all help getting the three functions (WinRate AvgWin & AvgLoss) operating. I have been using the manual input variation for months and it works great. Here is the complete code for this (automated) version to this point... in testing I am getting no dynamic output, everything goes back to the default setting (50, 40, 20). I have this set up as it's own EA for testing and easy modularization into any existing EA. once attached to any chart, the output is printed in the log/expert tab. the use of fractals is intentional so that maximum account growth (or minimal loss) is exploited. as a note most Brokers offering the MT trader platform allow fractal trading for either mini or std lots. This will prove use full in the future with money management that can take off partial lot positions (ie: remove 25% of 1 Lot). anyway...
in order to collect the real time account info I need I am trying to...
1. count all trades
2. count trades that are profitable
etc. etc.
I may or may not be going about this the right way.
Thanks in advance for all the help...

Can You Change This EA?
Hello programmers,
I have this EA that places stop orders above and below current price. What I need is an EA that will place limit orders instead of stop orders above and below current price. Can you change this EA to do just that while keeping all of the parameters the same?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
