Need some Help with Functions:

Here is my Start :

int start() {
int TotalOrders = OrdersTotal();
if ( TotalOrders <= MaxOrders) { CheckForOpen(); }
if ( TotalOrders > 0) { ManageOrders(); }
ChartComment();
return(0);
}

for some reason ManageOrders () is opening and closing a ton of orders at the same time....

for (cnt = OrdersTotal(); cnt >= 0; cnt--) {
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == Magic) {
if (OrderType() == OP_BUY) {
if (//---Closing Conditions---) {
CloseOrders();
}
else if (OrdersTotal() < MaxOrders && Ask >= TP - ((TakeProfit + Pips) * Point)) {
EnterOpenBuy();
}
}
else if (OrderType() == OP_SELL) {
if (//---Closing Conditions----) {
CloseOrders();
}
else if (OrdersTotal() < MaxOrders && Bid <= TP + ((TakeProfit + Pips) * Point)) {
EnterOpenSell();
}
}
}
}
return (0);
}

And CheckForOpen() opens multiple orders on the same bar, And ReOpens orders when TP or SL is hit.....

void CheckForOpen () {

if (UseStoch){
double STOCHOSCMAIN = iCustom(NULL,STOCHTIME,"Zerolagstochs",0,SIGNALCAN DLE);
double STOCHOSCSIGNAL = iCustom(NULL,STOCHTIME,"Zerolagstochs",1,SIGNALCAN DLE);
double pSTOCHOSCMAIN = iCustom(NULL,STOCHTIME,"Zerolagstochs",0,SIGNALCAN DLE+1);
double pSTOCHOSCSIGNAL = iCustom(NULL,STOCHTIME,"Zerolagstochs",1,SIGNALCAN DLE+1);

if (STOCHOSCMAIN >= STOCHOSCSIGNAL && pSTOCHOSCMAIN > pSTOCHOSCSIGNAL && STOCHOSCSIGNAL < 50){
EnterOpenBuy();
}
if (STOCHOSCMAIN <= STOCHOSCSIGNAL && pSTOCHOSCMAIN < pSTOCHOSCSIGNAL && STOCHOSCSIGNAL > 50){
EnterOpenSell();
}
}

if (UseCCI){
double CCI = iCCI(NULL,0,CciPer,PRICE_MEDIAN,SIGNALCANDLE);
double CCIPrevious = iCCI(NULL,0,CciPer,PRICE_MEDIAN,SIGNALCANDLE+1);

if (CCI > Cci_Level1 && CCIPrevious <= Cci_Level1){
EnterOpenBuy();
}
if (CCI > Cci_Level2 && CCIPrevious <= Cci_Level2){
EnterOpenBuy();
}
if (CCI > Cci_Level3 && CCIPrevious <= Cci_Level3){
EnterOpenBuy();
}
if (CCI < Cci_Level1 && CCIPrevious >= (-Cci_Level1)){
EnterOpenSell();
}
if (CCI < Cci_Level2 && CCIPrevious >= (-Cci_Level2)){
EnterOpenSell();
}
if (CCI < Cci_Level3 && CCIPrevious >= (-Cci_Level3)){
EnterOpenSell();
}
}
}


How do I

Get CheckForOpen() to open only one position per bar?

Stop Opening of a position once it has been closed ?

Thanks For you Help

also how do you change the color of chart comments ?

sComment = sComment + "Account Profit : $ " + DoubleToStr(AccountProfit(),2) + sNewLine;


I want this to be green when positive and red when neg...

I know it random but ....

12 views and no help ??? I thought that this was an EA support community???

45 views and still nothing ... How many people here are contributing, and how many are just trolling for free systems?

How about Pictures....

Here it is with ManageOrders(); disabled....


Question is why is this code opening multiple orders at the same time ?

void CheckForOpen () {

if (UseStoch){
double STOCHOSCMAIN = iCustom(NULL,STOCHTIME,"Zerolagstochs",0,SIGNALCAN DLE);
double STOCHOSCSIGNAL = iCustom(NULL,STOCHTIME,"Zerolagstochs",1,SIGNALCAN DLE);
double pSTOCHOSCMAIN = iCustom(NULL,STOCHTIME,"Zerolagstochs",0,SIGNALCAN DLE+1);
double pSTOCHOSCSIGNAL = iCustom(NULL,STOCHTIME,"Zerolagstochs",1,SIGNALCAN DLE+1);

if (STOCHOSCMAIN >= STOCHOSCSIGNAL && pSTOCHOSCMAIN > pSTOCHOSCSIGNAL && STOCHOSCSIGNAL < 50){
EnterOpenBuy();
}
if (STOCHOSCMAIN <= STOCHOSCSIGNAL && pSTOCHOSCMAIN < pSTOCHOSCSIGNAL && STOCHOSCSIGNAL > 50){
EnterOpenSell();
}
}

if (UseCCI){
double CCI = iCCI(NULL,0,CciPer,PRICE_MEDIAN,SIGNALCANDLE);
double CCIPrevious = iCCI(NULL,0,CciPer,PRICE_MEDIAN,SIGNALCANDLE+1);

if (CCI > Cci_Level1 && CCIPrevious <= Cci_Level1){
EnterOpenBuy();
}
if (CCI > Cci_Level2 && CCIPrevious <= Cci_Level2){
EnterOpenBuy();
}
if (CCI > Cci_Level3 && CCIPrevious <= Cci_Level3){
EnterOpenBuy();
}
if (CCI < Cci_Level1 && CCIPrevious >= (-Cci_Level1)){
EnterOpenSell();
}
if (CCI < Cci_Level2 && CCIPrevious >= (-Cci_Level2)){
EnterOpenSell();
}
if (CCI < Cci_Level3 && CCIPrevious >= (-Cci_Level3)){
EnterOpenSell();
}
}

}


And here is the EnterOpen() functions...

void EnterOpenBuy(){
GetTrend();
double LongLots = ((AccountFreeMargin()* AccountLeverage()* UpTrend / MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_LOTSIZE)) * (RiskPercent/100.0))/MaxOrders;
if (LongLots < 0.1) {LongLots = 0.1;}
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,LongLots , Ask, OrderSlippage,Bid-StopLoss*Point,Ask+TakeProfit*Point, "Open Buy", Magic, 0, Green);
Print ("OPEN BUY : ", OrderLots());
return (0);
}
void EnterOpenSell(){
GetTrend();
double ShortLots = ((AccountFreeMargin()* AccountLeverage()* DownTrend / MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_LOTSIZE)) * (RiskPercent/100.0))/MaxOrders;
if (ShortLots < 0.1) {ShortLots = 0.1;}
OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, ShortLots, Bid, OrderSlippage,Ask+StopLoss*Point,Bid-TakeProfit * Point, "Open Sell", Magic, 0, Red);
Print ("OPEN SELL : ", OrderLots());
return (0);
}

And this is what the ManageOrders() function is doing...

Here is the Code...

void ManageOrders(){




for (cnt = OrdersTotal(); cnt >= 0; cnt--) {
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == Magic) {
if (OrderType() == OP_BUY) {
if (Bid <= SL || Bid >= TP || Bid > QUICKUPPER3) {
CloseOrders();
}
else if (OrdersTotal() < MaxOrders && Ask >= TP - ((TakeProfit + Pips) * Point)) {
EnterOpenBuy();
}
}
else if (OrderType() == OP_SELL) {
if (Ask >= SL || Ask <= TP || Ask < QUICKLOWER3) {
CloseOrders();
}
else if (OrdersTotal() < MaxOrders && Bid <= TP + ((TakeProfit + Pips) * Point)) {
EnterOpenSell();
}
}
}
}
return (0);
}

I could not post all of the indicators used in the manage order ... too many charactors.

The goal is to have ManageOrders()
1. Manage all open positions as one. cnt --
2. If the Ask/Bid goes against you by n pips, add to the order.
3. close all OP_BUY or OP_SELL orders at the same time.

seems pretty simple but it does not work....I think it has something to do with me allowing multiple trades. but then again i cannot seem to figure it out.


Is there anyone here that can help?

Thanks...

Why does it open more than one order per bar?

you have to keep track of last orderopen time ..

//this is pseudo code ..
//find the last open order ..

//loop through open orders
lastOpenTime=OrderOpenTime(); //from open

//loop through history
lastCloseTime=OrderCloseTime(); //from History

if((itime(..)-lastOpenTime)>Period()*60 && (itime(..)-lastCloseTime)>Period()*60 )
{
CheckForOpen();
}

at least you are trying .. that's good.

Hey KurkaFund

Try using the "Wrap [code] tags around selected text" button.
It formats your code so that it looks like . . code.

Trying to read all your stuff 'left justified' is tough.

Sorry I can't help more. It's tough to pick up someone's code when you are new to it and see a problem right away.

Keep banging away at it, posting your thoughts, hopefully we can help you, and by doing that, help ourselves too.
