EA (or script) that monitors for new / modified trades

[[Deleted]]

Has anyone made an EA or script that monitors the account for new trades (for example ones that are entered manually) or modifications to those trades?

And does what?

Actually, I am just looking for that part of the logic - whether it sends an email alert of the trade, or does something else, it does not matter. Just curious if someone has tackled that logic...

int TotalOrders;

init()

TotalOrders = 0;

start()

if(TotalOrders != OrdersTotal()) {

TotalOrders == OrdersTotal();

Alert("There is a change in orders");

}

Comment("TotalOrders");

How about a modification in the order (such as changed sl or tp)?

[RonaldRaygun]

You'd need to be able to read the journal for that one, I'm not sure how to do it.

Yep - that is why this is not a simple thing

Alternatively, you could have the EA detect changes in the BUY/SELL lines....

int TotalOrders;

init()

TotalOrders = 0;

start()

if(TotalOrders != OrdersTotal()) {

TotalOrders == OrdersTotal();

Alert("There is a change in orders");

}

Comment("TotalOrders");

What can I add to this code so that once the EA detects the open order and the order gets closed, I want the EA to wait an hour after the closed order before it checks Trade condition criteria again to open another order.

Thanks

init()

TotalOrders = 0;

if(TotalOrders > OrdersTotal()) {

TotalOrders == OrdersTotal();

Alert("There an order was closed");

Ok thanks but now that the order is closed how to I tell the EA to wait 60min before checking if another trade condition criteria is met and if so trade again.

Why I'm asking this, is I have an EA that places a trade on the next close bar and if I set a small TP and the trade closes then the EA will re-enter another trade because previous bar trade conditions are still met. I don't want the EA to open another trade, I want it to wait an hour then check trade condition again to stop it doing these re-entry trades.

Thank you
