I have 2 questions about reopening the pending order that being executed and about decimal point when opening order.

New comment
 

First I have to tell you the objective of my EA,

I try to create a single side (buy only or sell only) grid ea that opening x pips away from current ask with Buy limit and Buy Stop and take profit at x pips

Ex. 300 pips Grid will be >>> #1 Ask = 0.00300 tp at 0.00600 and #2 BuyStop at 0.00600 tp at 0.00900 and create #3 Buy limit at 0.00000  and take profit at 0.00300 respectively until like 100 orders at the same time

then if #2 Buystop is triggered and graph reach until hit TP point, I need the EA to reopen #2 order that have exactly the same properties with the original #2  

How can I do? Or If you saw my code and figure out something more simple please tell me.


Another question is why I can't use the same logic between BUY_STOP and BUY_LIMIT, If I use the same , it will not open limit order, I have to change tmp3 to AskPrice2 in order to open it. I'm very confused

  

ticket[2]=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,Lot,tmp2,slippage,0,tmp2+0.003,"Buy Stop");

   tmp2=tmp2+0.003; //add 300 pips grid

                              

   ticket[3]=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYLIMIT,Lot,tmp3,slippage,0,AskPrice2-0.003,"Buy Limit");  

   tmp3=tmp3-0.003; //add 300 pips grid



I'm a novice programmer so the code maybe a bit fuzzy or too straight.


double Lot=0.01;

double GridTakeprofit;

int NumberOfGrid=6;

int i;

int j;

int slippage=3;

double AskPrice1=Ask;

double AskPrice2=Ask;

int ticket[999];

int GridDistance=300;

double tmpGridDistance;

double tmp1;

double tmpPip=0.003;

double tmp2;

double tmp3;

double tmp4;



int start()

{     



            

            

   if(OrdersTotal()==0)

   {

      ticket[1]=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lot,AskPrice,10,0,AskPrice+GridTakeprofit*0.00001,"My First Order");

   }

   else

    printf("Error");

         

     

         tmp2=AskPrice1+0.003;

         tmp3=AskPrice2-0.003;

   

         

         for(i=0;i<2;i++)

         {

               if(OrdersTotal()<2) // just test for a few order

            {

             

               ticket[2]=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,Lot,tmp2,slippage,0,tmp2+0.003,"Buy Stop");

               tmp2=tmp2+0.003; //add 300 pips grid

                              

               ticket[3]=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYLIMIT,Lot,tmp3,slippage,0,AskPrice2-0.003,"Buy Limit");  

               tmp3=tmp3-0.003; //add 300 pips grid

               

               //AskPrice2=AskPrice2+tmpGridDistance-0.003;

               

               }

      }

  

  return(0);



Thank you very much

  2. 0.00600-0.00300 is 0.00300 or 30 pips on non-JPY pairs.

  3. A buy limit opens at that price or better (better means lower.) You can only create one below the market (Bid) - stoplevel.
    A buy stop, becomres a market order when market reaches it. You can only create one above the market (Ask) + stoplevel.
    You can't move stops (or pending prices) closer to the market than the minimum (MODE_STOPLEVEL * _Point.)

I'm so sorry I have already edited it.

and what about re-opening at the same location and the same properties after TP point.

Thank you for the answer

 
interestgain: and what about re-opening at the same location and the same properties after TP point.

You pay the spread each time.

I Got it Thanks

 

For 2nd Question. How can I fix the pending order that missing when order has closed? I need them to instantly open after TP


This is my code

double Lot=0.01;
double GridTakeprofit;
int NumberOfGrid=6;
int i=0;
int j;
int slippage=3;
double AskPrice1=Ask;
double BidPrice1=Bid;
int ticket[999];
int GridDistance=300;
double tmpGridDistance;
double tmp1;
double tmpPip=0.003;
double tmp2;
double tmp3;
double tmp4;

int start()
{     
    
   if(OrdersTotal()==0)
   {
     
        if(ticket[1]==0)
       {
        // ticket[1]=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lot,Ask,10,0,Ask+0.003,"My First Order");
       }
   }
   else
    printf("Error");
         
      
         tmp2=AskPrice1+0.003;
         tmp3=BidPrice1-0.003;
   
         
         for(i=0;i<12;i++)
         {
               if(OrdersTotal()<12)
            {

               ticket[2]=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,Lot,tmp2,slippage,0,tmp2+0.003,"Buy Stop");
               tmp2=tmp2+0.003;
           
               ticket[3]=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYLIMIT,Lot,tmp3,slippage,0,tmp3+0.003,"Buy Limit");  
               tmp3=tmp3-0.003;

    
               }
           }
  
  return(0);
}

You can't. Pending orders will only open when the market reaches their price. And you can't move the pending price to the market per #3.3

When in doubt, think. Delete the pendings and open a new order.
