Reverse Positions

New comment
 

Hey everyone,

can anyone please help me? i want a function that opens a position in reverse direction as soon as SL is hit.

 

You first copy the number of closed trades in the history pool.

Then you compare this value to the current value.

Wherever a new order is closed this comparison will see it.

Then you can check orderclose times to see which one is the last closed order.

And then you can check the ordertype.

Now you have all the info you need to fire a reverse order.

How about your EA use this technique :)
use stop-order, it might be easier, right?

thank you, but i was looking for code, if you can provide than i will be more thankful.

Making changes to your "generated" EA is not very practical because it is full of bugs. Code Generators usually produce very bad and slow code.

Since you don't know how to code, and are not able to make corrections yourself, your best alternative is to place a job request at the Freelance section and have some one code your requirements.

However, if you are serious about learning, then put aside some time (months to years) and dedicate yourself to reading the documentation, learning from examples in the CodeBase and/or reading a structured book that will help you learn step-by-step.

Okay, according the code in your EA, here is a sample to place sell-stop at your current buy order :

 if((iMFI(NULL,0,14,0)<20)) // Here is your open buy rule
     {
        result=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,Slippage,0,0,"141405",MagicNumber,0,Blue);
        if(result>0)
        {
         TheStopLoss=0;
         TheTakeProfit=0;
         if(TakeProfit>0) TheTakeProfit=Ask+TakeProfit*MyPoint;
         if(StopLoss>0) TheStopLoss=Ask-StopLoss*MyPoint;
         OrderSelect(result,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
         OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(TheStopLoss,Digits),NormalizeDouble(TheTakeProfit,Digits),0,Green);
         
         //--stop-order
         double price_sellstop=TheStopLoss;
         result=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,Lots,price_sellstop,Slippage,0,0,"Forum at MQL5.com",MagicNumber,0,clrRed);
         if(result>0)
         {
           if(TakeProfit>0) TheTakeProfit=price_sellstop-TakeProfit*MyPoint;
           if(StopLoss>0) TheStopLoss=price_sellstop+StopLoss*MyPoint;
           //--
           OrderSelect(result,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
           OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(TheStopLoss,Digits),NormalizeDouble(TheTakeProfit,Digits),0,Green);
         }
        }
        return(0);
     }

Good luck.

Can you recommend any good book?
