Are you running on a VPS or just on your own PC? If VPS you'd need to remove EAs then synchronize.

Not possible on MQL4! Consider moving to MT5.

Hello! Can you tell me why my  integer 'Prevent Order' is not being revalued to '0' in the bottom section? Everything else works fine.


   double LinePrice      = iMA(NULL, 0, 1,    0, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_WEIGHTED, 0);
   double LineAxis       = iMA(NULL, 0, 10/3, 0, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_WEIGHTED, 0);
   double LineCeiling    = iMA(NULL, 0, 10/3, 0, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_HIGH + (PRICE_HIGH / 3000), 0);
   double LineFloor      = iMA(NULL, 0, 10/3, 0, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_LOW  - (PRICE_LOW  / 3000), 0);
   double NeutralCeiling = iMA(NULL, 0, 70/3, 0, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_HIGH + (PRICE_HIGH / 3000), 0);
   double NeutralFloor   = iMA(NULL, 0, 70/3, 0, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_LOW  - (PRICE_LOW  / 3000), 0);
   static int PreventOrder = 0;

//--------------------------------
//Orders

   //-Send Order Outside of Neutral and Prevent New Order
   if((OrdersTotal() == 0) && (PreventOrder == 0))
   {
      if(LineFloor   > NeutralCeiling)
      {
         if(LinePrice > LineAxis)
            {  OrderSend(_Symbol, OP_BUY,  0.01, Ask, 0, 0, 0, NULL, 0, 0, clrRed);   }
      }
      if(LineCeiling < NeutralFloor  )
      {
         if(LinePrice < LineAxis)
            {  OrderSend(_Symbol, OP_SELL, 0.01, Bid, 0, 0, 0, NULL, 0, 0, clrViolet);}
      }
      PreventOrder = 1;
   }
   
   //-Close Order on Crossover
//   if((OrdersTotal() == 1)
//   {
//      if((OrderType() == OP_BUY)  && (LinePrice < LineAxis))
//      {  CeaseOrder();}
//      if((OrderType() == OP_SELL) && (LinePrice > LineAxis))

   //-Close Order in Neutral and Allow New Order

Do not double post!

I have deleted your other topic.

  1. You are using a LWMA period of three.

  2. The ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE PRICE_HIGH is two. Two+two/3000 =two=PRICE_HIGH

  3. Use the debugger or print out your variables, including _LastError and prices and find out why. Do you really expect us to debug your code for you?

Hey there I'd like to purchase Trader advisor for a friend, his birthday is coming and id like to surprise him with 1year rental how do i purchase it for him? Thank you! 
 

Hello!

I'm trying to write a function that allows for trading within 5 min before the candle close (on D1).

After hours of head scratching, I noticed that Strategy tester is NOT evaluating all ticks toward the end of the candle close. As an example, see this transition from 1/4/21 to 1/5/21. I use Tick-level data downloaded from Dukascopy.

    0   12:22:26.043    2021.01.04 22:00:00  sandbox_QA EURUSD,Daily: Alert: === trade_window_start=86100 time_in_candle=79200 sec_in_day=86400
    0   12:22:26.043    2021.01.05 00:00:00  sandbox_QA EURUSD,Daily: Alert: === trade_window_start=86100 time_in_candle=0 sec_in_day=86400

24 hrs is 86400 seconds, so I want to start trading window after the 86100 th sec (5 min before candle close), but the latest recorded tick was "79200", so it doesn't work.

Here's the code to replicate the issue and I'd appreciate your help! Thanks :) 

    void OnTick()
      {
       bool trading_window = isWithinTradeHours();
       return;
      }
     
    bool isWithinTradeHours()
      {
       int time_in_candle = int(TimeCurrent()-Time[0]);
       int sec_in_day = 24 * 60 * 60;
       int trade_window_start = sec_in_day - (5 * 60); // 5min before candle close
       
       // print every 100 sec to reduce the size of the log
       if((time_in_candle % 100) == 0)
         {
          Alert("=== trade_window_start=", trade_window_start, " time_in_candle=", time_in_candle, " sec_in_day=", sec_in_day);
          Sleep(100);
         }
     
       if((time_in_candle > trade_window_start))
         {
          Alert("====== Trading Time: ", TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE|TIME_SECONDS), " Time in candle:", int(TimeCurrent()-Time[0]));
          Sleep(100);
          return true;
         }
       else
         {
          return false;
         }
      }
I'm running with "Every Tick":
