excuse me this expert sl have to using this formul for having profit result on thefix sl have bad result
order sl = ((MaxTrades*MinGS)+SL) - (n*MinGS)
exampel for this info
extern int MinGS=5;
extern int TP=20;
extern int SL=10;
extern double lot=0.10;
extern int MaxTrades=7;
extern int RegularSpread=2;
extern double Multiplier=2;
extern double LotInc=0;
extern double MarginLevelAlert=1000;
we have
first order sl= ((7*5)+10)-(0*5)=40
second order sl= ((7*5)+10)-(1*5)=35
and other sl are
35
30
25
20
15

Hi

Ive tried to create an indicator and was wondering to see if someone can help me (i feel its 99.9% finished - well phase I anyway)

The previous reply was incomplete.
If the indicator is standard in MT4, it will show up in the normal place. If it is called by iCustom, it will also show up, if coded right.
The following EAs even have the indicators show on the chart window. Study them to learn how:

Hi folks,

I made an EA that calculates daily hi-low between some period, and then place pending orders buystop/sellstop, that will expired in 12 hours.
I run it in GBP-JPY pair (8 pips spread in my broker)
The result, Pending Order Buy Stop was executed, even price did not touch it. I have traced the OP Buy Stop, placed at price 204.08, but it was executed when the price is at 204.00. It seems that Spread factor is involved.
My friend told me that manual Pending Order Buystop/Sellstop is executed without spread factor, but why it's different with placing order by EA ?

So is there any mistakes in my code ?

Thanks in advance.

If your "HighestPrice" is a BID price as they are on all charts, you probably have to add the spread. Any BUY order is triggered by a ASK price.

i have downloaded an indicator,which shows green/red arrow when the buy/sell signal come.
now i want to program my own EA based on this indicator.
but i have only the ex4 file of this indicator(no source code)
I want my EA read the indicator arrow on the mainchart and send the buy/sell order(green arrow==>buy, red arrow==>sell)
is there any approach to get indicator arrow information on the main chart?
thanks

The EA has to call the indicator signals up/down with the iCustom(); function. You don't need the source code to do this.

An arrow can be drawn as a value of one of the indicator's buffers; in this case, the color in the indicator's properties should give you the buffer's number, which is enough to call it by "ICustom()" function; You also need to fill all the values of the "Input" tab as parametres of the ICustom() call.
If the arrow is not a value of a buffer, it is an object. Select it to see its properties. Most of the time, it's easy to understand how the names are generate and then it will be possible to use ObjectFind().
The EA should watch ObjectsTotal(), and only when it is incremented it may try to recognize the last object. If the name is unknow, the EA cannot use OjectFind() and has to scan all objects to identify the last one. The last object is not obviously the one with the highest index (ObjectsTotal() - 1), but it's better to start to scan from the higest index as you probably can break faster. Now you have to compare the OBJPROP_TIME1 get by ObjectGet() to Time[0] or Time[1] for exemple, and check the color or the arrow type, or a substring of the name, to identify a buy or a sell signal.
It seems complex but it is not. Try to write it and dont hesitate to ask more precisions if needed.

Thanks Big Be, I'll check them out.

Great explanation Michel ... 100% more complete than mine !

Thanks for who is interested.
