Maybe someone has come across a ready-to-use "Virtual Trawl" function which works as well as a regular one in pips? (Not suitable for profit since the lot is different) The point is to avoid expansion of DC stops in a strong market.

Hi all, maybe someone has come across a ready-made "Virtual Trawl" function which works like a regular one by pips ? (for profit is not suitable since lots are different) The essence - to move away from expanding the BC stop limits in a strong market.


And you should recalculate the profit for the order?

for a tank, everything is straightforward given that the account is a quid account.

if the lot is 0.01, trawl with 0.1 profit step == 1 pip. it also trawls 0.5 profit == 5 pips 1 = 10 pips

at 1 lot, trawl with 100 profit step == 1 pip.

What is the catch?

Everything is in the editor's help system, and what isn't there is looked up here.

Thank you!
 
Hi all! )

Please explain what the magic number is. If I'm guessing correctly, this is what I need.

The only thing I found in MQL4 tutorial, but no description of how to use it (maybe I searched too much).

I'm not sure how to use it, but it may be bad looking for it::) Write an approximate code for opening a market order with its use and how to determine it afterwards.

Each position can be assigned a magic number, among other data. This is the number by which the order can be exactly and precisely identified as belonging to the given EA. If there is no magik, the position is opened manually.

Read OrderMagicNumber() in help;

 
So I can assign a number to an order and then find and manage that number (modify, close)?

If we take into account that the account is a quid account, everything is straightforward.

if the lot is 0.01, trawl with 0.1 profit step == 1 pip. it also trawl 0.5 profit == 5 pips 1 = 10 pips

at 1 lot, trawl with 100 profit step == 1 pip.

what is the catch?

Yes, you can... Thank you. I would like something universal for all symbols. (In general, I think I will do so - when placing an order, it will draw a horizontal line in N pips from the opening price and crawl with 5 pips step behind the price. etc.)
 

Hello all!
Sometimes the simplest questions are totally baffling.
In brief. I had MetaTrader 5 installed on my home PC. The tester worked fine, but - only until some time, after which out of the blue the chart with trade visualization as well as the Equity chart stopped opening.
I have thought that it is because of the Expert Advisor. I replaced it with simple Examples\Moving Average\Moving Average.ex5 but the result is the same - processing, "whistling" and... no reaction.
Tried different periods - same thing.
Maybe something went wrong with the settings? Or maybe it was caused by my recent virus?
I formatted my disk (!), reinstalled my operating system (!) and was sure everything would be alright, but... the miracles keep happening.
My last hypothesis was that something was wrong with MT5, but the version on my office PC tests normally.
What do I think?
Standard installation..., standard tester..., standard EA example..., standard processing, but no result for some reason.

Below I am postingthe "explanation" of the Journal

LOOKING FOR A HINT.

How do I write a "line" in my EA to calculate the ratio (profit/loss,pcs) of the last ten trades of a certain magician?

The difficulty is in obtaining data only for the last ten trades of one magician.

I understand that it is connected with an array, but I don't know how to use it.

Any clear example or pointing fingers to where to read about it would be appreciated.

 
Good evening, Can you suggest a script or an Expert Advisor to make screenshots at the opening and closing of an order?
