kopeyka2:

for now

other (non-native) timeframe


And in general, you're ignoring help. I'm out of the dialogue. I have given you all the data to make the code work properly, but you don't want to hear it and you do things your own way. It's a pity about the time.

Thanks for your attention and time.... I guess I haven't figured it out yet... About the wheels and motor I agree.

I'll probably give up the handheld and calculate the iClose average for the average period.

Removed everything unnecessary.

Don't forget that there are no ticks at the weekend and the line will only be output at the same timeframes - working one and the one in the settings.

If you run it on a timeframe other than the one specified in the settings, then without ticks at the weekend, you need to forcibly refresh the chart with the right mouse button: Refresh, so that the line will be drawn.

Thanks many times !!1 I've been messing around all day.... my eyes are stitched up. Thanks again
 

Good afternoon, everyone.

 
Got it. Thank you.
 
Good afternoon, all.
Faced with the problem of time mismatch, please help in solving it.
Trying to figure out why orders are running late, I am logging debugging information in my EA, it is absolutely correct, you can see it in the screenshot. I notice that the time of message is 4.5 hours more than the start time of bars (TF=M30) and it is this lag that causes the orders to be late. I.e., according to the debugging information I see that the condition for entering the market has been fulfilled, for example, the time on the bar is 10:00 but the order is placed at the bar with the time 14:30. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. What to do?

Found trailing stop code on youtube, how can it be used?

#include <Trade\Trade.mqh> 
CTrade trade;

void OnTick()
  {
    double Ask = NormalizeDouble(SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK),_Digits);
    
         if(PositionsTotal()<2)
    
    trade.Buy(0.10,NULL,Ask,(Ask-1000 * _Point),(Ask+500 * _Point),NULL);
    
    CheckTrailingStop(Ask);
   
  }
void   CheckTrailingStop(double Ask)
  {
     double SL = NormalizeDouble(Ask - 150 * _Point,_Digits);
     
     for (int i=PositionsTotal()-1; i>=0; i--)
     {
     string symbol=PositionGetSymbol(i);
     if (_Symbol==symbol)
     {
     ulong PositionTicket=PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TICKET);
     
     double CurrentStopLoss=PositionGetDouble(POSITION_SL);
     if (CurrentStopLoss<SL)
     {
       trade.PositionModify(PositionTicket,(CurrentStopLoss + 10*_Point),0);
     }
   }
  }   
}

This trawl is for buy only and is implemented poorly, it cannot be used.

Okay, thank you.
