Code will nopt trigger on live mode

 

Hi,


I am trying to vreate an EA. 1 of the things the EA ust do, Is to close an order when the 3 over 5 EMA conditions are met on the open of a new candle. When I try this in the strategy tester, i looks fine, but on a live account it doesn't work.  Maybe it is a slippage issue? Or is the code wrong?

void Emaclose()

{ 
   if(!ema3over5) return;

   double ema3;
   double ema5;

   ema3 = iMA(NULL, 0, 3, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_OPEN, 0);
   ema5 = iMA(NULL, 0, 5, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_OPEN, 0);
   
   if (IsNewBar())

      for(int i = 0;i < OrdersTotal();i++) 
      {
       bool Os = OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);    
       if(OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && (MagicNumber == 0 || OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber))
         { 
          if(OrderType() == OP_BUY) 
                 {
                  if(ema3 < ema5)
                  bool Oc = OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,slippage_close,Blue); // close buy order 
                                  
                 }
                 
          if(OrderType() == OP_SELL)       
                 {
                  if(ema3 > ema5)
                  bool Oc =  OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Ask,slippage_close,Red); // close buy order
                
                 
            }
            }

          
            
}}

The parameter slippage_close is set to 3. Maybe someone can give me some hints to let it work.

 
smika: maybe it is a slippage issue?  slippage_close is set to 3.
  1. Check your return codes and find out why. What are Function return values ? How do I use them ? - MQL4 forum and Common Errors in MQL4 Programs and How to Avoid Them - MQL4 Articles
  2. Three tenths of a PIP isn't much slippage. You are not adjusting SL, TP, and slippage; for 4/5 digit brokers and for JPY pairs.
    double   pip          = StringFind(_Symbol,"JPY") < 0 ? 0.01 : 0.0001;
    int      pipDigits    = (int)MathLog10(pip/_Point);
    int      pipsToPoints = int(pip / _Point);
    int      slippage     = 3 * pipsToPoints;
  3. In the presence of multiple orders (one EA multiple charts, multiple EA's, manual trading)
  4. Why did you post in the Root / MT5 EA section instead of the MQL4 section (bottom of the Root page?)

So what's my probem? When I Set all the SL settings true, all my orders will close only when 3 over 15 EMA is hit. When I set 3 over 15 to false, All the orders will be closed by 3 over 5 EMA. When I set also this one to false, all the orders will be clossed by TDI red over green. How can I tell the EA, that when all the SL settings are true, It can close on all those settings and not just only one? And why the EA will use this order, and not another order?

bool Oc =  OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Ask, slippage_close, Red); // close buy order
if(!OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Ask, slippage_close, Red))
  1. Get all your tests, then loop over the orders and close.
    bool closeBuy1 = !em3over5  || ema3 < ema5;
    bool closeBuy2 = !em3over15 || ema3 < ema15;
    bool closeBuy3 ...
    bool closeBuy4 ...
    bool closeBuyOrders = closeBuy1 && closeBuy2 && closeBuy3 && closeBuy4;
    
    order select loop
       if(OrderType() == OP_BUY  && closeBuyOrders) ...
       if(OrderType() == OP_SELL && closeSellOrders) ...
  2. Say what?
  3. Why are you trying to close twice?

Thanks for the quick reply! This looks great. I wil try this. I learn a lot of it.

Maybe I need some sleep first :-), but can't find the issue yet. I also cganed void on tick:    Entry();slmanagement();. I also share this so other people can learn from it.

If I change  bool closeBuyOrders = closeBuy1 && closeBuy2 && closeBuy3 && closeBuy4; to  bool closeBuyOrders = closeBuy1 || closeBuy2 || closeBuy3 || closeBuy4; It is closing my orders again. But again, only for 3 over 15. Not for the other conditions. It makes me crazy :-)

When I set 1 of the 4 close options to false, it doens't work anymore. What happens then, is that the EA opens an order and then closed the same time. How to solve this?
 
NObody can help me, TO give a tip how to code closeBuyOrders and closeSellOrders to function normal when 1 of the 4 exits are false?
 
bool closeBuy1 = (!ema3over5  || (ema3open < ema5open));

if ema3over5 is false, closeBuy1  is true

try

bool closeBuy1 = (ema3over5  && (ema3open > ema5open));
 
You said
smika: How can I tell the EA, that when all the SL settings are true,
Or's mean any not all.
bool closeSellOrders = (closeSell1 || closeSell2 || closeSell3 || closeSell4);
Now go and reread what I posted in #3
