How to open multiple trades on the same EA & same pair
how the EA can treat a open position independent from each other in the same pair?
Example if we use a moving average Like principal indicator for enter the market but at the time wen enter the market goes again us and moving average triger a different signal how to open a new position with out closing the previous trade regardless if loss or not.

start() Disadvantage of a looped Expert Advisor is the impossibility to open the setup panel. Try to loop an EA - and you won't be able to set it up.
The same idea can be successfully realized using a script. This means an infinite loop can be organized in a script. But there are no parameters to be set up in scripts.

MagicNumber
extern int Expert_ID = 1234;
int _MagicNumber = 0;

int init()
{
int Period_ID = 0;
switch ( Period() )
{
case PERIOD_MN1: Period_ID = 9; break;
case PERIOD_W1: Period_ID = 8; break;
case PERIOD_D1: Period_ID = 7; break;
case PERIOD_H4: Period_ID = 6; break;
case PERIOD_H1: Period_ID = 5; break;
case PERIOD_M30: Period_ID = 4; break;
case PERIOD_M15: Period_ID = 3; break;
case PERIOD_M5: Period_ID = 2; break;
case PERIOD_M1: Period_ID = 1; break;
}
_MagicNumber = Expert_ID * 10 + Period_ID;

But how about in the same time frame??????

It's Great and it's good, need help coding this EA sumtin like this, can anyone please help me, would really appreciate it please......

Gann_hilo_activator 4HR-------for confirmation of overall trend

Gann_hilo_activator 1HR-------for signal

5 simple moving averages (SMA)—for determining the point of entry

Entry signals

Buy signal (1)

If the price opens above the Gann_hilo_activator 1HR and the Gann_hilo_activator 4HR confirms the trend, then buy if the value of 5 SMA is greater than or equal (≥) to the price.


Buy signal (2)

If the Buy signal (1) condition still holds and the price retraces by a predetermined number of pips then buy another lot e.g. for EUR/USD =32pips.

Sell signal (1)

If the price opens below the Gann_hilo_activator 1HR and the Gann_hilo_activator 4HR confirms the trend, then sell if the value of 5 SMA is less than or equal (≤) to the price.

Sell signal (2)

If the Sell signal (1) condition still holds and the price retraces by a predetermined number of pips then sell another lot e.g. for USD/CAD=46pips.


Exit signals

Close Buy signals

If the price opens below the Gann_hilo_activator 1HR

Assign every order a unique ticket number and separate magic number. Only close orders by magic number.

You could then use Orderselect() to get the info of that specific ticket, when your criteria is met, close your order by magic number.

Hope this helps.

Can someone be so kind and tell me how to code the following code?:

If my Ea is turned on the M30 chart, I want the code to say:

if(on the M5 timeframe, today's close is>yesterday's close)
{
.........
}

Gidday I am slowly fixing the errors in some if my ea's ( and learning alot on the way) but what does this mean.
2007.10.24 21:22:24 1998.11.20 06:00 The Abyss GBPJPY,Daily: invalid double number as parameter 6 for OrderSend function

I can't find anything on that error what should I be looking at.

Hi
Is it possible to recover a data type from an indicator (3 MA Cross w alert) to put it in a EA?

This is what I want to do :
In the indicator (3 MA Cross w alert) I put a data type :
double execute_trade = "ok_buy" or execute_trade = "ok_sell" here :

************Indicator ************
if ((fasterMAnow > slowerMAnow &&
fasterMAprevious <= slowerMAprevious &&
fasterMAafter > slowerMAafter &&
mediumMAnow > slowerMAnow )
||
(fasterMAnow > slowerMAnow &&
mediumMAnow > slowerMAnow &&
mediumMAprevious <= slowerMAprevious &&
mediumMAafter > slowerMAafter ))
{
CrossUp[i] = Low[i] - Range*0.5;
string execute_trade = "ok_buy";
}

if ((fasterMAnow < slowerMAnow &&
fasterMAprevious >= slowerMAprevious &&
fasterMAafter < slowerMAafter &&
mediumMAnow < slowerMAnow )
||
(fasterMAnow < slowerMAnow &&
mediumMAnow < slowerMAnow &&
mediumMAprevious >= slowerMAprevious &&
mediumMAafter < slowerMAafter ))
{
CrossDown[i] = High[i] + Range*0.5;
execute_trade = "ok_sell";
}

************************

and I'd like to recover "excute_trade" in my EA like this :


***********EA***************


if (excute_trade== "ok_buy")
Order = SIGNAL_BUY;

if (excute_trade== "ok_sell")
Order = SIGNAL_SELL;



****************************

But I don't know how to do

help please

Best regards

3 MA Cross w_Alert v2.mq4 (5.9 KB, 8 views)

Today's close is the current BID; yesterday's close is timeframe independent, so doesn't matter M30 or M5 timeframe.

You must use iCustom function to retrieve the value of the buffers (ie the arrows);

I your case the syntax should be :The parameteres p1 to p10 are the values to send to the indicator as the extern parametres. For example, p1 means the value to be assigned to FasterMA, p2 to FasterShift, and so on up to the last extern declaration p10 SoundAlert. See the indicator's code to know the order and the signification of them.

Thanks Michel.
But what if the code is in an indicator code?

Is it:

if(Close[pos]>iHigh(Symbol(),PERIOD_M5,[pos+1])?????
