Correction of existing EA for in mql4 and mql5.

I have same EA one for mt4 and same EA for mt5. 

Both of them work with an existing renko chart indicator that I have.

Correction for mql4 and Mql5:

1-SYNCHRONIZATION ( this is the only one will not be applied to mql5, only mql4)

This EA has a timer to synchronize with the renko timer. The renko box just close after a given timer (usually 1 minute) is reached. It seems that sometimes the EA is opening 2, 3 or 4 orders without the renko has closed the box to buy or sell. Need to fix this synchronization and I have some pics to explain.

2- FUNCTION MODES:

How is the lot calculated:

The names below are examples, not exactly as it is in the EA.

Loss? if yes

MAX BALANCE (record the max balance reached before the loss). The "money management" part of the EA  will work as far the MAX BALANCE is not recovered.

CUMLOSS (sum losses in pips until SLCOUNTER is reached)

SLCOUNTER (setting in pips, after the trade is closed, it compares the CUMLOSS with SLCOUNTER)

GALE(martingale Factor)

N (Power to the martingale factor)

{

IF CUMLOSS>SLCOUNTER

Apply (GALE^N) to next trade.

N = INT(CUMLOSS/SLCOUNTER)

}

After the GALE is applied, then the CUMLOSS is reseted and start the counting again until, after a trade is closed, the MAXBALANCE is crossed. Then reset to initial lot again.

Example in pips:

+30

-20

-21

CUMLOSS= 41

SLCOUNTER= 40

GALE=2

N= 41/40 = 1

Next trade will use,

(last lot size)* (GALE^N)

Now lets say

-20

+10

-20

-60

CUMLOSS=100

SLCOUNTER= 40

GALE= 2

N= 100/40= 2

next lot = (last lot size)* (GALE^2)

UNTIL HERE THE EA WORKS WITHOUT TWO OPTIONS THAT CAN BE SET TODAY (MODERATE AND RECOVERY):

• A- MODERATE Function (is working fine):

If moderate is active, then:

MGT (MAXIMUM MARTINGALE TIMES)setting in "times"

Calculate N (GALE POWER)

IF N<MGT, N=N

ELSE MGT

Example:

MGT=2

-40

-50

-60

CUMLOSS = 150

N=150/40 = 3 

As N>MGT

N=MGT

• B- RECOVERY FUNCTION (need to be fixed)

Instead of using CUMLOSS to calculate lot, will use now RECLOSS

RECLOSS in stead of discard the positive trades after a loss, it considers it.

See comparison:

Example with SLCOUNTER=40

+20  RECLOSS=0  CUMLOSS=0

-20  RECLOSS=20 CUMLOSS=20

-30  RECLOSS=50 CUMLOSS=50

Apply gale normally and reset counting

-30  RECLOSS= 30 CUMLOSS=30

+10  RECLOSS= 20 CUMLOSS= 30

Whenever the running trade exceeds the MAX BALANCE it checks the RECOVERY OFFSET (pips) function

The trade is closed after the MAX BALANCE is exceeded in the RECOVERY OFFSET amount of pips.

Now, you see the RECLOSS reduces the counting as + trades happen. UNTIL HERE IS WORKING FINE

What need to be fixed is the following:

In case

Balance < MAX BALANCE (This means we are in loss condition)

Actual lot > initial lot (This means gale has already been applied)

And a + trade is closed that exceeds the SLCOUNTER positivelly,

the lot can be reduced applying GALE reverse.

If

N= (GAIN/SLCOUNTER)

So next lot will be ( ACTUAL LOT / (GALE^N) )

>>reset counting

3- PAUSE function (to be created)

Create Pause function yes/no

Create Pause % setting X

Create Y timer (minutes)

Whenever the drawdown is X%, the EA closes the trade(s)  where it is and pauses the EA for Y minutes. Every subsequent drawdown of same proportion will be paused again.

FINAL COMMENTS:

THE EA for MT5 has no timer and the renko for MT5 has no timer as well

The renkos are stable and don't need to be touched, unles to fix the problem 1.

The martingale calculation for MT5 seems to be working only when both MODERATE and RECOVERY functions are set + Trailling tick set. This must be fixed.

The Martingale can work indepentend of Moderate and Recovery set to yes as explained above.

MQL5 must be backtested capable
