I tried to code it myself but the indicator line doesn't show in the indicator window when I run it. If you go here MANUAL - TECHNICAL INDICATORS it has a definition of the indicator with the formula for calculating it.

Here's the code I have written:

//----last counted bar will be recounted
if (counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
int k = Bars - counted_bars;
double midptT, midptY, boxR, midptM, EMV;
while (k>0)
{
midptT = (High[k] + Low[k])/2;
midptY = (High[k+1] + Low[k+1])/2;
midptM = midptT - midptY;
boxR = Volume[k]/(High[k] - Low[k]);
EMV = midptM / boxR;
ExtMapBuffer1[k] = EMV;
k--;
}

return(0);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+


can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I attached the indicator too if you want to try to run it for yourself.

Hello

I am looking for some help I have an EA that I'm using on demo and also learning to code with. I am trying to figure out how to add a comment to the system to show me which of the 4 entry criteria was used to open the position. eg if long2 was used then show long2 signal

any help would be great


cheers

Beno

After your condition is met and you use Ordersend() command, just insert a Comment(), Alert(), or Print() statement. Whichever you want to use.

Something like this:

if ( long2 == true)
{
Ordersend();
{
Print(" long2 signal taken ");
}
}


Hope that helps.

Thanks Wolfe

I had to laugh I put in what you suggested and it worked sort of but now I only have the comment and no positions opening. any hints

bool Long = MAofRSI11>MAofRSI21 && MAofRSI12<=MAofRSI22 && VolCH>VolHL && RSIndex1<HLM && RSIndex1>HL2 && TrStop<Close[shift] && MOM>0.0 && SDLL && ma<Close[shift];

bool Short = MAofRSI11<MAofRSI21 && MAofRSI12>=MAofRSI22 && VolCH>VolHL && RSIndex1<HL1 && RSIndex1>HLM && TrStop>Close[shift] && MOM<0.0 && SDLS && ma>Close[shift];

bool Long2 = MAofRSI11>HLM && MAofRSI12<=HLM && MAofRSI21>HLM && MAofRSI22<=HLM && VolCH>VolHL && TrStop<Close[shift] && MOM>0.0 && SDLL && ma<Close[shift];

bool Short2 = MAofRSI11<HLM && MAofRSI12>=HLM && MAofRSI21<HLM && MAofRSI22>=HLM && VolCH>VolHL && TrStop>Close[shift] && MOM<0.0 && SDLS && ma>Close[shift];

bool Long3 = RSIndex1-RSIndex2>20<HL2 && TrStop<Close[shift] && MOM>0.0 && SDLL && ma<Close[shift];

bool Short3 = RSIndex2-RSIndex1>20>HL1 && TrStop>Close[shift] && MOM<0.0 && SDLS && ma>Close[shift];

bool Long4 = zscore>0.0 && ma<Close[shift];

bool Short4 = zscore<0.0 && ma>Close[shift];


buysig = Long || Long2 || Long3 || Long4;
sellsig = Short || Short2 || Short3 || Short4;



closebuy=sellsig;
closesell=buysig;

if (curprof>=AccountBalance()*ProfitExit/100.0) {
exit=true;

}
if (last>0 && (Time[0]-last)/(Period()*60)>=CancelOrderBars) {
remorder=true;
}

}

void CheckForOpen() {
int res,tr;
//---- sell conditions
co=CalculateCurrentOrders(Symbol());
if(sellsig && lastsig!=-1) {
co=CalculateCurrentOrders(Symbol());
if (co==0) {
if ( Short == true)
if ( Short2 == true)
if ( Short3 == true)

res = OpenStop(OP_SELLSTOP,LotsRisk(StopLoss), Low[shift]-OrderPipsDiff*Point, StopLoss, TakeProfit1);
Print(" Short signal taken ");
Print(" Short2 signal taken ");
Print(" Short3 signal taken ");
Print(" Short4 signal taken ");


}
lastsig=-1;
last=Time[0];
return;
}
//---- buy conditions
if(buysig && lastsig!=1) {
co=CalculateCurrentOrders(Symbol());
if (co==0) {
if ( Long == true)
if ( Long2 == true)
if ( Long3 == true)
if ( Long4 == true)
res = OpenStop(OP_BUYSTOP,LotsRisk(StopLoss), High[shift]+OrderPipsDiff*Point, StopLoss, TakeProfit1);
Print(" Long signal taken ");
Print(" Long2 signal taken ");
Print(" Long3 signal taken ");
Print(" Long4 signal taken ");

}
last=Time[0];
lastsig=1;
return;
}
}

Fixed it Thanks

How and where would you use a bit of code like this. I have a Zero divide error that I can't find how the fix.

extern bool DEBUGGING = true

...

if(DEBUGGING && variableName == 0) Print("CodePoint 1 -- This variable is now ", variableName);

... more code

if(DEBUGGING && variableName == 0) Print("CodePoint 2 -- This variable is now ", variableName);

... more code

if(DEBUGGING && variableName == 0) Print("CodePoint 3 -- This variable is now ", variableName);

...

this is to calculate SMMA：
for(j=0;j<Bars;j++)
{
for(i=0,sum=0;i<ma_period;i++)
{
sum=sum+Close[j+i];
// buffer[j]=(sum-sum/ma_period+Close[j+i])/ma_period;
}
buffer[j]=(sum-sum/ma_period+Close[j])/ma_period;
}




this is to calculate LWMA

for(j=0;j<Bars;j++)
{
for(i=0,sum=0,sum1=0;i<ma_period;i++)
{
sum=sum+Close[j+i];
sum1=sum1+Close[j+i]*(j+i);
// buffer[j]=sum/ma_period;
}
buffer[j]=sum1/sum;
}


and how to calculate EMA?

Hi everyone.
I am stuck on a programming issue. Does anyone know how to use 1 indicator result to change another setting? For example, if the daily stockasti was above 20, I would want a moving average of (x). I tried to get the code working below but to know avail. I don't seem to be able to get the switch or if else command to work eithor.


double fourhrUP;
double daystoch1 = iStochastic(NULL, PERIOD_D1,5, 3, 3, MODE_SMA, 0, MODE_MAIN,1);
double daystoch20 = 20;
if (daystoch1 > daystoch20) four_hrUP = 5 ;
double iMA( string symbol, int timeframe,four_hrUP, int ma_shift, int ma_method, int applied_price, int shift)

Where's your MA's variable?
Maybe this could help

double ma4hr=iMA( string symbol, int timeframe,four_hrUP, int ma_shift, int ma_method, int applied_price, int shift);

if the stoch calculation is in the same loop, let say "for(int shift=limit-1; shift>=0; shift--)", the stoch code should be

double daystoch1 = iStochastic(NULL, PERIOD_D1,5, 3, 3, MODE_SMA, 0, MODE_MAIN,shift+1);

Hello.

I am looking for EA that copies a pending order and makes it muptiple with exactly the same conditions.
For example, let's say I have a pending order USD/JPY entry-stop sell 1 lot at 115.00, and I wanna have 5 same orders.
I do not wanna merely increase the trade size, instead of having multiple positions with the same conditions.
Is there an EA that does such a thing for me?

Also, I tried e-Trailing.mq4 but I could not place the trailing stop for multiple orders.
I need to place a trailing stop at 5 pips from the current price, for multiple open orders.
Any good EA for it?

Regards

I am testing an MT4 Broker's Platform that uses Fractional Pips (pipettes) in it's price quotations: For Example on EURJPY they quote as 164.381 instead of 164.38 - This means that the spread has a decimal such as 4.1 pips (instead of 4).

Can anyone tell me how to MODIFY the following code so that the Spread reads properly? Right now a 4.1 pip spread would read as 41.0 in the Indicator. Any help is appreciated.

Dan

//---- spread
Spread=NormalizeDouble((Ask-Bid)/Point,1);
ObjectSetText("Spread Monitor1","Spread:", 10, "Arial", labelColor);
ObjectSetText("Spread Monitor2",DoubleToStr(Spread,1),10, "Arial", clockColor);
