EA wont take trades - unsure where i have gone wrong exactly

New comment
 

Can you please help me identify where i went wrong?

i tried to combine 2 tutorials...

an RSI where the EA will take a sell if price is above 65 and buy if price is below 35

max 2 trades at 1 time... and using calcLots to work out 1% of the account balance...


it wont take any trades when prices moves into those levels 

i see i have declared calcLots = twice but im also not sure where else to go from here


Additionally i would like to add a Breakeven once price moved to 100 points

but i figured i needed to get it to take trades before i follow another tutorial and try to add the break even in


thanks

  1. Indicator handlers need to be assigned into OnInit
  2. Never use PositionsTotal but always count trades specific for that EA (with a function that count trades based on Magic number)

Point 2 is not mandatory for testing an EA into the tester but surely mandatory for running an EA on a live account.

OK so for point 1... i have made these changes.

Is this correct?


#include <Trade\Trade.mqh>

//Create an instance of CTrade
CTrade trade;

int rsiHandle;

int OnInit(){

//Define the properties for the RSI
   rsiHandle = iRSI (_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,14,PRICE_CLOSE);
   
   return 0;
}

void OnDeinit(const int reason){

  

}

void OnTick() {

 double rsi[];
 CopyBuffer(rsiHandle,0,1,1,rsi);


Also these are the errors i'm getting


 

Indicators calls are correct now.

About the errror: read logs carefully. You are trying to open trades with SL = TP. This it's impossible to do an broker server reply with "Invalid stops".

You need also to normalize prices to tick size, to avoid using not normalized prices into SL and TP that can generate errors too...

Do you meant here?

if(PositionsTotal() <= 2){
      double buy = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK);
      buy = NormalizeDouble(buy,_Digits);
      
      double sell = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID);
      sell = NormalizeDouble(sell,_Digits);
      
      double sl = 200 * _Point;
      sl = NormalizeDouble(sl,_Digits);
      
      double tp = 200 * _Point;
      tp = NormalizeDouble(tp, _Digits);

or for the actual buys and sells?


for the sells i have SL is +200 points and TP is -200 points

and for buys i have SL is -200points and TP is +200 points


 //Calculate the current RSI value
   double myRSIValue=NormalizeDouble(myRSIArray[0],2);
   
   if (myRSIValue>65)
   signal="sell";
   
   if (myRSIValue<35)
   signal="buy";
   
   //rsi at 65 or above and positions total is 1 or less, then sell
   if(signal =="sell" && PositionsTotal()<=1)
      trade.Sell(lots,_Symbol,sell,(sell+sl * _Point),(sell-tp * _Point),NULL);

but now it doesnt even attempt to take any trades

 

Seems that you did some confusion about an easy task...

You are using some global declared variables that you don't initialize or clear after usage, so, avoid use most of them, because they are basically useless.

if( myRSIArray[0]>65 )
   trade.Sell(lots,_Symbol,sell,(sell+sl * _Point),(sell-tp * _Point),NULL);
if( myRSIArray[0]<35 )
   trade.Buy(lots,_Symbol,buy,(buy-sl * _Point),(buy+tp * _Point),NULL);

Hey Fabio,

Could i check something?

If i am wanting to add Breakeven and a Trailing Stop.. does this look correct?

Also... how do i make sure it only takes 1 trade when it crosses the overbought or oversold levels?
Currently, it looks like its going to take trade after trade after trade...
I dont mind if it takes a trade when price crosses the level, then if it crosses back and then crosses again it takes another...

i just dont want it taking 1 million trades cause price stays above or below the level for a while, etc 

Theres always the chance i overcomplicated that as well lol
