Hi everyone, Maybe you can figure what's wrong with the following program. The logic of the code is to create a range of 10 pips where the low is always going to be the lowest price since the EA started and that the price did not touch the upper band of the range. Every time, the upper band is...
Hi together, I'd like to know if it's possible to close an order automatically after a period and/or SL is reached... For example: I've opened a trade at 1p.m. and want to let this order closed when the quote reached it's StoppLoss or a period of 2 hours elapsed. Here's the actual code: // Buy...
Hello, This is my first serious post and I am developing a scalper. I have programming background and this is my first EA ever. I have some good results but I need some help. I' show a backtesting (2001-2012) to hook you guys up, and then proceed to tell you how it works -not in extreme detail- and...

I have a piece of Martingale code in my EA. When I run a back test on my EA with the MartingaleFunc == false there is no problem with the back test. It runs. But as soon as I set the MartingaleFunc == true the back test refuses to start. This tells me there must be something wrong with the code for...

I wish to have an array populated with data for individual ticks! i.e. for each and every tick: Time, Bid/Ask price. This is easy to do if you create an Array, and just start populating it with the Ticks incoming and you create your own "tick database". The problem with that is you have no access to...
Attached test results from my latest EA. Looks good, and with a time filter it looks dramatically better. But... What I've done is to filter out all non-profitable hours for each of the 5 days... done this over the whole 6-year period, meaning there is a set of trading hours each day of the week...

In the following code, all the symbols appear on the chart as green/buy. Is there any reason why it doesn't check the 2nd part of the else if statement? if( (Bid > iMA(symbol[y],PERIOD_D1,10,0,MODE_EMA,0,0)) && (Bid > iMA(symbol[y],PERIOD_D1,20,0,MODE_EMA,0,0))...
I relized thet I have a serious problem while testing a strategy: using the same EA I obtain very different results using exactly the same parameters on the tester. The script I'm going to show you is written for counting bars when they come out, but MetaTrader jumps some ones!! example: Test1: 1,2...

Hi everyone, long time ago I did not care much about the "slippage" limit in ordersend/orderclse, during the conversion of EAs from four to five digit brokers. My question is whether these orders are equivalente, either a 2 point spread in four digit or 20 point in five digit broker: Four digit...
Hi, I want to find the next big number to the Open of a bar. Big numbers are defined as prices that end on x.xx250 or x.xx500 or x.xx750 or x.xx000 if we look at EURUSD for instance. I thought this could be done using the MathMod() function. When I tried this I found out by printing the function...
Hi, First EA: I would like to open a position in the opposite way when a SL has been reached: Exemple: OP_BUY has been closed. So check if StopLossPrice() == CloseOrderPrice() So... I would like to create a SELL_LIMIT @ this price or 2 pips away (broker's market conditions) I'm not sure that the...

This will show my lack of knowledge about programming, if you create an EA and use your own custom indicators within the EA, how do you make reference to the custom indicator without having to insert the whole thing within the EA, or do you, I understand that an EA that uses standard indicators...

A suggestion, and some questions: I believe you have to have multiple MT4 installations to connect to multiple accounts (e.g. a live account and a demo account at the same time) or multiple brokers. I thought it was insane to try to keep sets of indicators &etc current in N different MT4 installs,...
