how do you go exactly : you look at "prev 10 days range" value and then if its bigger than 50 you just turn on your ea ? That's all ? Don't have to initiate the first trade ? Does the ea close the trades itself ?
thanks

The EA has code in it regarding the ADR (take a look in setup menu). This input can be changed to what you perfer. The EA will not trade if the ADR value goes below your set value. The EA will close your trade based on your take profit and stop loss inputs.

Does someone able to help this man to fix this problem
The problem is after the 1st loss with .1 lot size, the next trade will open with a .4 lot size.

Thanks Stace. I am really looking forward to trying this EA out when the mm is fixed.

btw what was the biggest cycle of lots?
I mean if you for example backtest this ea what was the greatest loss in lot size
in a row

I can't say being the mm is not working correctly. If it is corrected, then perhaps a backtest can be performed to answer your question.

Which is a difference between a Expert Analysis - EA, and Expert Advisors - EA?

i suppose there is no such difference

perhaps Expert Analysis is more sucky than other

Hi icfxtrader. I re-did the lot-size code, it should work now.

A few points to bear in mind though, first, its uses the Ordershistorytotal() function to determine lotsize, which has never worked correctly on backtest (unless Metaquotes has fixed this, which I seriously doubt), and second, in order to ensure the EA works correctly, you must manually select 'All History' on the 'Accounts History' tab. (right-click it and select 'All History')

Edit: Problem seems to be a 'recovery' issue - restored 'original' code & added recovery code...

Thank you very much Omelette. I will start testing and report back any findings. I knew I could count on the TSD members.

You're welcome. btw, the original code should have worked, I just re-did it to exclude the use of multiple 'return's (which bugs me!) - are you sure it isn't an OrdersHistoryTotal() problem as described above?
