Can the MT developers post an example of a robust EA that uses stop orders to enter trades? The stops are calculated based on time of day, so if there is no new tick there, the next incoming bar should be considered. I am looking at the samples but they are not robust. They don't have error...

I have a set of indicators that I use for entry criteria, and if I could get an indicator of it's own that would show when all the criteria are met, that would be neat.
