i have created a really simple EA. and a system which i use in atleast 3 Timeframe..May problem it doesn't stop opening and i don't want to have 3 EA and 3 chart for one pair.

i need a code that would only do one order for buy and for sell per bar per TF and still open if it is on a different bar. i can have buy and sell and the same bar.

Sometimes i have 3 signal in 3 different TF. i want to take all order but i want only one order per TF and i can still take another order in another TF if it is still open but in a different bar.

example:
1 signal in 4h
1 signal in 1h but it falls in bar for 4h
1 signal in 30 min but only one bar for 1h and 4h.
3 signal will be open.

i am ok with using magic number as means of filter.

can someone help me? thank you very much.

so far this is what i thought:
for 30 mins
if (magicnumber == 123)
{
if (iTime(OrderOpenTime()) != iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_M30,0))
{//my order code}

}

i don't have MT4 but i know somethings is not right in the logic or code. So guys please help me.

also i think we have similar problem with matrixebiz

I have added levels to HMA:

#property indicator_separate_window
#property indicator_buffers 2
#property indicator_color1 Black
#property indicator_color2 Red
#property indicator_width1 2
#property indicator_minimum 0
#property indicator_maximum 100
#property indicator_level1 80
#property indicator_level2 60
#property indicator_level3 40
#property indicator_level4 20
#property indicator_levelcolor DarkSlateGray


But the indicator doesnt appear on a seperate window properly.Any help much appreciated.

Because the indicator is forced bounded:

Remove this two lines:
#property indicator_minimum 0
#property indicator_maximum 100

Levels only works fine on bounded indicators but to do a bounded indicator the calculation must include the limits.

Example: RSI = 100-(100/(1+U/D))

We know by that formula that the indicator will move between 0-100 and because that we could include 70-30 levels without fear to they would disappear.

Another example is MACD = EMA(CLOSE, 12)-EMA(CLOSE, 26)).
We set a level on M5 and when we move to H1 most probable is the level has gone.

So, we take the same formula and we make some changes MACD = (EMA(CLOSE, 12)-EMA(CLOSE, 26))/EMA(CLOSE, 26). And now we have a percent indicator. Is not bounded but we have less probabilities to lost our levels.

Thanks Linuxer.

Can anyone help me please?

This is just the example (because now you have the Oscillator HMA ) from previous post, still it's MACD but calculated on a different way.

Here´s one that is probably very simple to figure out but I´m relatively new to this and have no clue how to solve the problem.

This indicator compiles without problems but there´s nothing showing up on the charts. I´m sure some of you more experienced programmers might see quickly where I made a mistake. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The indicator should draw an arrow on the charts when certain criteria are met... I wrote the explanations into the code, that makes it easier to follow...


I attached the mq4 file... i have not been able to insert the code into this box without making it look really messy .....


I´d be thrilled if anyone can help me with it... THANKS GUYS!


CEH

P.S. perhaps you can figure out how to insert the code into the message box and then comment on it, that way more people can learn from it...

is there anyone know the code to ask the EA start open trade when the new bar start in D1 time frame ??

here is the logic:
in D1 TF, when the new candle (it's mean a new day) is start then EA will open 2 position, BUY and SELL with TP=10 pips for each position.
When the candle closed then EA close all position and start opening position again for the new candle.

very simple rule, but still I cann't find the code for this simple rule....

I'm realy new in MQL4 coding and already search and read many source and forum to learn more about MQL4 coding, but cann't find what I'm need.

Thanks before...

I tried to code what I have ask before, here is the sample EA code:

Last night I uploaded to my vps, but this morning I check it up but my sample EA doesn't open any trade, can someone here help me to fix my sample EA here ??

btw, I attached it here too

here´s the code, thought it wouldn´t fit in here but when I pressed "preview post" it all looked neat.....
I can´t figure out why there aren´t any arrows showing up on the chart... probably just a simple mistake...
