Hi All!

How to make an EA to skip 1 signal after a losing trade? ( very good Z-strategy )

Explain in words, the code itself is able to implement.

Hi All!

How to make an EA to skip 1 signal after a losing trade? ( very good Z-strategy )

Explain in words, the code itself is able to implement.

At a loss give a certain value to the global variable of the terminal and reset it to zero at the first signal. The trading function monitors this value and decides whether to open a new trade or not.

In other words, the work order is approximately as follows:

a) Track profit;

b) count signals, check the checkbox in case of loss, if there is no other signal to trade yet, reset the checkbox when the first signal after the loss occurs;

c) check the box and decide whether to trade or wait.

It is more convenient to use GPT, they are saved when the terminal crashes, simple variables in the code can be reset by any sneeze and the Expert Advisor will work with errors.

That is, the order of work is approximately the following:

a) Track profit;

b) count signals, check the box in case of a loss, if we haven't yet had another signal to trade, reset the box when the first signal comes in after a loss;

c) check the box and decide whether to trade or wait.

GPT is more convenient to use, they are saved when the terminal crashes, simple variables in the code can be reset by any sneeze and the Expert Advisor will work with errors.

All understood except one . How to make a signal counter?

So?

if("Condition" == тру)

i ++;

Leanid Aladzyeu:
Got it all but one . How to make a signal counter?

Right?

if("Condition"==true)

i ++;

Like this:Static variables.

spits

sl = NormalizeDouble(sl,MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_DIGITS));
