Need an EA that can open more than one trade
mjstock78:
Hello traders,
I need your expertise to find an EA that can open more than one trade ( if needed by the criteria).
For example, the Buy order should be opened if the Stochastic is crossing up the 20 level and close the trade when the Stochastic reaches 80 level. Also the EA should open a Sell order if the Stochastic is crossing down the 80 level and close the trade when the Stochastic reaches 20 level.
Please look at the picture attached to see opportunities to open a
Actually I have written the code but it does not open more than one trade at a time. I appreciate if any one can help me out.

total=OrdersTotal(); if(total<1) { //--- no opened orders identifiedThe problem it is only allowed to open when OrdersTotal()==0

Fix in what sense?
If you allow for more order it will simply open up more orders at the exact moment the first order would be opened.
That would be the same as simply raising the Lotsize for that one order.

I would like to open more than one trade whenever the open trade condition meets. Please look at the attached picture in the first comment to get more clarity. Thanks.

Marco vd Heijden:
Thanks Marco , but it does no work the way I expect. It opens trade when buy criteria meets but doesn't close them when close criteria meets. For example it Opens trade every time that Stochastic is crossing up the 20 level but does not close them when Stochastic is above 80 level until it reaches the maxorder numbers. If you look at the attached picture in the first comment, you will see in that picture, only two Sell trades are opened and as soon as the Stochastic crosses the 20 level both Sell trades should be closed. Other cases may happen that Stochastic crosses down the 80 level couple of times (e.g. 4 times) then goes down and fall below 20 level,that's when all sell trades (those 4 trades that are open) should be closed. Hope that I have clarified everything. Also I highly appreciate your kind prompt replies.

Thanks a lot Ernst, you solved the problem. It works perfectly.
