Electra EA ** Released to Elite Members ** - page 38

...

An update :

Some updates done on this EA. What have been done :

Simplified the code a bit and resolved some errors that could happen in trading (in these days when brokers change the number of decimals used every day it is necessary to do updates like these)

Resolved the increasing number of "suffixes", "prefixes", ... when using different brokers. Now it should work with almost all of them (the problem for some brokers when using preferred settings is solved)

Some annoying errors ("orderModify error 1" which is not a real error but more an information is resolved too - or at lest I haven't run into it yet)

interface is changed so it now looks like the one on the picture : you can turn on/off any of those parts on the screen :

• left-up is the statistics zone (the showStatistics switch in options)
• down-right is the messages zone(showMessages switch)
• above the messages zone is the additional info zone (showAddInfo switch)

____________________________________

about account sizes : the way this ea works (the logic of the partial exits and partial taking profits), for safe working it needs more money (but all about that you can find on some of the previous posts) especialy for brokers that do not allow minimum 0.01 lots for example

about version : don't be alarmed with the 1.14 version. Versions 1.12 and 1.13 were just internal versions while updating this EA so they were not posted anywhere.

____________________________________

PS: found one error on a brokers with a minimal lot 0.1 that concerns partial closes : if the last portion of the partial close was < than the minimalLot (0.1 in this case) there was an error that caused it to wait till stop loss hit (in most of the cases it is in profit (since stop loss is adjusted to lock profit)) but anyway, it is an unpleasant error.

Please, if your Close1 procedure (starts at line 799) does not look like this one, than please re-download the source

void Close1(double OrderLot)

{

string message;

int err = 0;

double minLot = NormalizeDouble(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_MINLOT),2);

//

//

//

//

//

if (IsTesting() || CheckTradeAllowed())

{

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

{

OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if (OrderMagicNumber()!=MagicNumber) continue;

if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol()) continue;

//

//

//

//

//

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

{

RefreshRates();

if (OrderType()==OP_BUY)

{ string operation = "buy"; color theColor = Blue; double cp = Bid;}

else { operation = "sell"; theColor = Red; cp = Ask;}

//

//

// this part is changed for 0.1 lot brokers

// if you do not have line if (OrderLots()<2.0*minLot)

// please redownload the source

//

//

if (OrderLot!=OrderLots())

{

OrderLot = MathMax(minLot,OrderLot);

if (OrderLots() < 2.0*minLot)

OrderLot = OrderLots();

}

if (OrderLot!=OrderLots())

message="partialy closed "+operation+" - closed "+DoubleToStr(OrderLot,2)+" lots";

else message=operation+" order closed";

//

//

//

//

//

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

{

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLot,cp,slippage,theColor);

err=GetLastError();

checkError(message,err);

if(err==4 || err==136 || err==137 || err==138 || err==146) //Busy errors

{

Sleep(5000);

continue;

}

break;

}

break;

}

}

}

}

Your welcome ND

And, the answer to 4/5 digits is yes (there is no need to set anything in the parameters - it adjusts itself to broker (it was solved by igorad already))

If they decide to make 6 digits, then we shall need to make some modifications

Thanks a lot.

I will test this version since Sunday with my Electra settings: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/178196/page24

As I understand: this version works with any 4/5 digit broker.

Sorry.

Wrong answer. I forgot EA setup overrides global setup

Thanks 50club.

That means if you have the option "Allow live trading" clicked on only on Tools --> Options you will have a smiley face anyway.

Check on common tab of your EA if "Allow live trading" is allowed. Click on the face and...
