Up buy down sell
Somebody tried to write an EA that buy on every new up bar and close it all wher a down bar appears, doing the same to the down side?
I think it's easy, let's try... Next, add some filters to improve stats... its a kind of trend follower perfect for tendencies (more positions as the trend gets stronger).
datetime timebar = 0;
//initialize variable
//before buying or selling
if(timebar == time[0]) return(0);
//your code here
//buy or sell
timebar = time[0];
if (barsPrev != Bars) {
// trade
barsPrev = Bars;
} else {
// no trade
}

You will either need to post the EA's code and conditions you want implemented (but then the EA will be downloaded by everyone, shared, modified, sold ect) or you need to contact a programmer (most likely you'll need to pay for their time).
Or you can do what I did - learn MQL4 programming language
Think again, my friend! It works perfectly
Because you forgot timestamps are "number of seconds passed from 1st of january 1970"
and Time contains opening of all bars, Time[0] is the opening time of the "now" bar of the current chart. Current time is TimeCurrent()
If the trade was opened in this specific bar, its open time is bigger (more seconds have passed) than Time[0]. So the code posted in the beginning by ralph.ronnquist will work properly. I'll quote it.
for (int i = OrdersTotal() - 1; i >=0; i-- ) {
if ( ! OrderSelect( i, SELECT_BY_POS ) )
continue;
if ( OrderOpenTime() >= Time[ 0 ] ) {
opened_on_current_bar = true;
break;
}
}
// Here the variable opened_on_current_bar is set appropriatelyIt will only keep your EA from opening more than 1 trade per bar.
Hope this helps everyone who finds this threadDoesnt work for me:
CODE:
bool opened_on_current_bar = false;
int start(){
for (int i = OrdersTotal() - 1; i >=0; i-- ) {
if ( ! OrderSelect( i, SELECT_BY_POS ) )
continue;
if ( OrderOpenTime() >= Time[ 0 ] ) {
opened_on_current_bar = true;
break;
}
}
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,1000,0,0,"one per bar",13,0,CLR_NONE);}
return;

Please tell me whats wrong
Thanks for your help guys!!....just beginning in mql4
Gotta advertise when I can so check out the link above on the title
this works pretty well and is simple. try it.
"Bars" contains the number of bars on the chart. Whenever a new bar occurs, the value changes. So you could simply copy the last seen value and confirm whether it has changed or not, instead of going through all of this.
if (barsPrev != Bars) {
// trade
barsPrev = Bars;
} else {
// no trade
}
how to limit the trade per bar?
hello everybody..
i have problem in making trade per bar..
i want every bar only can trade 1 times..
but can not find it..
this is my code
extern double TakeProfit = 50;
extern double StopLose = 40;
extern double Lots = 0.1;
datetime timebar = 0;
int start()
{
int total,ticket;
double HighEnvelope = iEnvelopes(NULL,0,4,MODE_LWMA,0,PRICE_CLOSE,0.30,MODE_LOWER,1);
if (Low[1]<HighEnvelope )
{
if(timebar == Time[0]) return(0);
ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,Ask-StopLose*Point,Ask+TakeProfit*Point,16384,0,Green);
timebar = Time[0];
}
return(0);
}
what is the wrong?
thx..
