Set Take Profit to mulitple of entry candle range

New comment
 

Hi and thanks in advance for your thoughts on this,

I'm building an EA using EA Builder. The goal is to Close Long Position when price achieves a multiple of the range of the entry candle. For example, if the range of the entry candle is 20 pips the close position could be set to 60 pips from entry price.

I've tried the following in EA Builder and it's not working. I'm not a custom coder and am pretty new to EA builder. For some reason I can't post the screen shots of the EA Builder settings so will describe them instead.

Close Long Positions tab

Price (ask) is above Candlestick range (1 Closed)

*3

The *3 is an extended condition.

Very much looking forward to hearing possible ways to achieve this and thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Here's the EA code generated by EA Builder for just the function described above.

EA builder, EA Builder Pro, EATree, Etasoft forex generator, Forex Strategy Builder, ForexEAdvisor STRATEGY BUILDER, ForexRobotAcademy.com, FX EA Builder, fxDreema, FxPro, Molanis, Octa-FX Meta Editor, Online Forex Expert Advisor Generator, Strategy Builder FX, Strategy Quant, Visual Trader Studio, MQL5 Wizard, etc., are all the same. You will get something quick, but then you will spend a much longer time trying to get it right, than if you learned the language up front, and then just wrote it.

  1. Since you haven't learned MQL4/5, therefor there is no common language for us to communicate.
    If we tell you what you need, you can't code it.
    If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into yours.
    We are willing to HELP you when you post your attempt (using Code button) and state the nature of your problem, but we are not going to debug your hundreds of lines of code. You are essentially going to be on your own.
