How do I know the profit of the previous trade? And the lots, and the side?

__________________

Use OrdersHistoryTotal() instead of OrdersTotal(). Then use OrderProfit(), OrderLots() etc. You must make sure that historical quotes for the timeperiod you are interested in are loaded though, and I think you can only do this manually - right-click on the 'Orders History' tab and select 'All History'.

Should have added that you need to use 'MODE_HISTORY' with OrderSelect()...

Hi Omelette,
Do you know that BT have a problem looking in the history: it looks on the real history, not the one of the BT. I asked Metaquote few months ago about this bug but they didn't have any answer.... Maybe now it's fixed...

Hi

How do u code an interest rate tightening cycle on one currency ,and a interest rate reduction cycle on another currency?

Can EA look at swaps current and swaps historical rates?

Hi,

I would like to replace the code of this indicator :

int start()
{
int bar, limit, i;
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();

if(counted_bars<0) return(-1);
if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
limit=Bars-counted_bars;

//Hull average computation
for(i=0; i<limit; i++)
TempBuf1[i]=2*iMA(NULL,0,HalfHullPeriod,0,MODE_LWMA,PRICE_CLO SE,i)-iMA(NULL,0,HullPeriod,0,MODE_LWMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i);
for(i=0; i<limit; i++)
HullBuf[i]=iMAOnArray(TempBuf1,0,SqrtHullPeriod,0,MODE_LWMA, i);

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

by a call at a function like that :

double ComputeHull(double MyArray[], int MyPeriod)
{
double MyTemp[];
double result = -1;
int i;

int HalfPeriod = MathRound(MyPeriod/2);
int SqrtPeriod = MathRound(MathSqrt(MyPeriod));

//Copy Close Values to CloseTemp
ArrayResize(MyTemp, SqrtPeriod);
ArraySetAsSeries(MyTemp, true);

//HMA value computation
for(i=0; i<SqrtPeriod; i++)
{
MyTemp[i] = 2*iMAOnArray(MyArray, 0, HalfPeriod, 0, MODE_LWMA, i) - iMAOnArray(MyArray, 0, MyPeriod, 0, MODE_LWMA, i);
}
result = iMAOnArray(MyTemp, 0, SqrtPeriod, 0, MODE_LWMA, 0);

//---- done
return(result);
}

int start()
{
double CloseTemp[];
int bar, limit, i;
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();

if(counted_bars<0) return(-1);
if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
limit=Bars-counted_bars;

ArrayResize(CloseTemp, HullPeriod+SqrtHullPeriod);
ArraySetAsSeries(CloseTemp, true);

for(i=0; i<limit; i++)
{
ArrayCopy(CloseTemp, Close, 0, i, HullPeriod+SqrtHullPeriod);
HullAntBuf[i]=ComputeHull(CloseTemp, HullPeriod);
}

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

I don't understand why the result is not the same. It is not a spécific problem about the HMA just i'd like to ompute my indicator in a spécific function where the array is passed in argument.

I've attached source code of an indicator which display the two curves, it's seems that it is the second call to iMAOnArray which done different results.

Please help me i don't understand the problem

Thanks a lot for your reply. Is not a problem with arguments, the calculation in the loop is correct. I think the problem is with the second call to iMAonArray outside the loop in function.

Regards

whan we limit MaxBarsToCount (History) sometimes it require to add Correction, etc
is the best (safest, easiest, universal) way exists?
----------------------

like here we have light fisher 4 stoch smothing:
----------

int start()
{
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
//---- check for possible errors
if(counted_bars<0) return(-1);
int limit=Bars-counted_bars;
if(limit>maxbars)limit=maxbars;
if (limit>Bars-lenth-1)limit=Bars-lenth-1;
//----
for (int shift = limit; shift>=0;shift--)
{
AuxBuffer[shift]=(iStochastic(NULL,0,lenth,2,1,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAI N,shift)/100-0.5)
+0.5*AuxBuffer[shift+1];

FishBuffer[shift]= 0.25* MathLog((1+AuxBuffer[shift])/(1-AuxBuffer[shift]))+
0.5*FishBuffer[shift+1];
SignalBuffer[shift]=FishBuffer[shift+1];

}

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

for fisher limit f-la:

int limit;
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();

if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
limit=Bars-counted_bars;

for(int i=limit; i>=0; i--)
{
....

for Stoch:


int start()
{
int i,k;
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
double price;
//----
if(Bars<=draw_begin2) return(0);
//---- initial zero
if(counted_bars<1)
{
for(i=1;i<=draw_begin1;i++) MainBuffer[Bars-i]=0;
for(i=1;i<=draw_begin2;i++) SignalBuffer[Bars-i]=0;
}
//---- minimums counting
i=Bars-KPeriod;
if(counted_bars>KPeriod) i=Bars-counted_bars-1;
while(i>=0)
{
double min=1000000;
k=i+KPeriod-1;
while(k>=i)
{
price=Low[k];
if(min>price) min=price;
k--;
}
LowesBuffer[i]=min;
i--;
}
....


p.s. in attached indicator, based on clean fisher transform and Stoch; MaxBars needs to be straighten-up a bit... (when MaxBars out - no problem)

Hi,

Thanks a lot to all of you. It is working fine now and only one order per bar is opened. What is nice with an EA like this is that we can use the "Open price only" option for backtesting, which is faster than the "per tick" one.

Michel, thank for the heads-up. Wow, I didn't know that - and I'd rate that as a huge bug!!!

To check this (with MT 208), I used OrdersHistoryTotal() info. to decide trade direction on a martingaler, and used 'conventional means' on another version - the equity curve for both 'should' be identical. This is what I found.........

I have also just checked with the latest Metatrader and the bug is still there - unbelieveable.....
