Anticipate the position opening?

New comment
Hi everyone,

it's like one year that I'm studying trading and automated trading.

I'm trying to figure out different trading strategies in MQL4 using Metatrader4, manly focusing on forex scalping.

I have a limitation on every algorithm that I create, the trade are open some pips too late, probably due to my bad programming idea. someone have a tips to anticipate the position opening?

in the example, it's a rudimental doji trading.

  if (  (iClose(NULL, 0, 5) < iOpen(NULL, 0, 5)) &&
    (iClose(NULL, 0, 4) < iOpen(NULL, 0, 4)) &&
       (iClose(NULL, 0, 3) < iOpen(NULL, 0, 3)) &&
       (iClose(NULL, 0, 2) < iOpen(NULL, 0, 2)) &&
       (iClose(NULL, 0, 4) >= iClose(NULL, 0, 3)) &&
       (iClose(NULL, 0, 3) >= iClose(NULL, 0, 2)) &&
       
            (iClose(NULL,0,1) - iOpen(NULL,0,1)) >= 0 * Point &&
            (iClose(NULL,0,1) - iOpen(NULL,0,1)) < VolumeDoji * Point &&
            iLow(NULL,0,1) > iOpen(NULL,0,1) - 10 * Point &&
            iLow(NULL,0,1) < iOpen(NULL,0,1) - 1 * Point &&
            iHigh(NULL,0,1) < iClose(NULL,0,1) + 10 * Point &&
            iHigh(NULL,0,1) > iClose(NULL,0,1) + 1 * Point
        )
        {                                          
            Opn_B = true;
        }

Federico Libra: [..] the trade are open some pips too late [..]

If they are only a few pips and not an entire bar, it sounds to be the spread. But without a minimal example that can be tested, I can only guess.

thanks for your comment. do you want to see the entire code? anyway yes sometimes it's an entire bar

You are looking at past bars; it's always going to be an entire bar.
