Specification
hi there,
i have an existing EA which was not bulit by me, but which is in the public domain (Forex Factory) and free for anyone to use.
It was developed initially by ForexFlash and modified by TradingViper both on Forex Factory.
this version i have attached of the EA i cannot get working, when i try and attach to a chart nothing happens
I am using an earlier version of this EA in an EX4 file (attached) which you obviously cannot change, this version works well.
EA set up the 3 buy stop orders and the 3 sell stop orders away in equal increments from a middle starting point. Then when price triggers the level,
the EA place pending orders on the rest of the levels but the one is at.
If it is at a buy level, the EA place pending orders only above that buy level is at with the initial lot size and in the 3 sell levels with double lot size. If the price is at a sell level, the EA place pending orders only below the sell level is at with the initial lot size and in the 3 buy levels with any double lot size.
to speed up the EA and cut down drastically on pending orders all at the same size i want to use a multiplier to open up larger orders which equal the old orders all at the same size
i.e. instead of opening 6 pending orders @ 0.01 lot size it will open 1 pending order @ 0.06 lot size.
This has a few main benefits -
1. Massively reduces the number of pending orders.
2. Makes the EA slightly quicker
WWWILD on Forex Factory has already coded this change and this is attached, he has tested it also.
Confirming the job
1. get the attached EA working
2. Add and replace the attached code to the EA- this should continue to keep all the same functionality of the original exeprt the multiple small pending and open orders as above
thanks!
Tony
