Hello, I took the script from S. Kovalev's tutorial as the basis. I want to make an Expert Advisor to open a trade, put a stop loss, take profit and then wait for the end of the trade (i.e. the stop loss or profit), and only then reopen the trade. I tried with cycle and cycle interruptions. Please advise how to do this. I thought it may be easier not to set stop-loss and take-profit at once, and for the price to close when it approaches a certain level. But I don't want to do it that way because I'm afraid of slippage, and every point is important to me. If I try to open one deal or a couple at once, I cannot open a new one.

while(x!=Ask-15*Point||y!=Ask+15*Point) //---- of the condition I want the trade to be closed until the previous trade is closed, i.e.е. it is possible to

continue;//---- interrupt the condition and go to the next step

YOUNGA:

Yes, only open prices, that's why it's important to consider it when analyzing the EA. For example if a candle's tail breaks your channel, the Expert Advisor may not see it, but you can change the program logic and solve the problem.



Thank you!
 

Q: Here is a piece of code

int init()

{
//----
ShiftSignal=0;
SlowPer=FastPer+AddSlow;
Spread=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SPREAD);
Comment("ExpertMagicNumber=",ExpertMagicNumber);

if ((FastShift<0)&&(SlowShift>=0))
ShiftSignal=FastShift;

if ((FastShift>=0)&&(SlowShift<0))
ShiftSignal=-SlowShift;

if ((FastShift<0)&&(SlowShift<0))
{
if (MathAbs(FastShift)>MathAbs(SlowShift))

ShiftSignal=-FastShift;
else
ShiftSignal=-SlowShift;
}
//----
return(0)

I'm interested in this fragment

if ((FastShift<0)&&(SlowShift>=0))

ShiftSignal=FastShift;

if FastShift<0, it means that FastShift initially equals to a negative integer number, for example: -2

then in the next line ShiftSignal=FastShift;

one would think that the value -2 would be assigned to the ShiftSignal variable instead of zero

but at the same time you may wonder why there's minus in front of the FastShift variable

Because in mathematics, minus for minus is plus, i.e. the value will be "+2", i.e. just 2.

If you need, I can send you all the code.

 

Help me solve a problem like this.

There is a signal to buy or sell, But the next bar also satisfies the condition as the signal on the next bar is not considered.

How do I do it, but it doesn't work.

if( условие на покупку или продажу)
{          

      if(OrderSelect(OrdersTotal()-1,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)==true)   // если есть уже ордер то проверяем
        {
                 if (OrderOpenTime()!=Time[1]||OrderOpenTime()!=Time[2]||OrderOpenTime()!=Time[3]) // если открытый ордер имеет значение(OrderOpenTime) не равное времени бару назад и тд. до 3 баров.
                    {
                   TimeBar=Time[0];
                   OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY, LOT,NormalizeDouble(Ask,Digits),2,0,0,"ntcn",Magic,0,Blue);  // тогда открываем
                    }
        }


}

But it does not work...or how it can be done differently???? I would be grateful if you could share your knowledge.

If anyone is reading and has faced the same problem Here is the Answer:

if( условие на покупку или продажу)
{          

   OrderSelect(OrdersTotal()-1,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);                                                // проверяем последний ордер
        if(OrderOpenTime()<Time[3])                                                                       // если по времени прошло 3 бара тогда можно открывать новую сделку
           {
                   TimeBar=Time[0];
                   OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL, LOT,NormalizeDouble(Bid,Digits),2,0,0,"ntcn",Magic,0,Red); 
           }

}
 
Oleg, the condition is not very strict For example, start counting open orders, if more than 1 then do not open (take ready-made functions on the site here)
 

Since no one has answered, I'll try to reformulate my question.

Is there any way to pull information from compiled indicator, if iCastom() function gives only zeros?

 

Hello, advise how to start bar counting, after a positive indicator signal

- I get a signal, open bay, only after the next 2 bars go up .

Unfortunately signals can also be repeated (in the sense of buying more, they can be an hour later, a day later, etc.) I have been through OrderComment, blocking, but there are also repeated orders. I would like to block on bars for repeated signals. If through Sleepage, timeframe is different and 4 hours....

If you do not know what to do with it, you will get a wrong answer.

But thanks for the answer.

Good night! Please explain the principle of the zigzag indicator. For example, fractals are built when left and right 2 bars are above or below the current one. What is the basis of zigzag indicator? Please.
