How to code? - Page 127

I have no idea how to write code, I just need a couple more imputs and an extra indicator added to the united ea (attached)

Added imputs:

more entry options:

1. Enter on fresh signal: true or false, if true a trade would only happen at a fresh signal not in the middle or at the end
2. option to pick what indicator I want entry on
3. Lock in Pip amount
4. option of trailing stop to begin at x number of pips in profit

One more indicator added to for confirmation as well as entry and exit options:

HMA indicator ( attached)

Thanks in advance for coding help,

Mike

@dan7567 - what you ask is not possible, MT uses the current brokers time and this cannot be changed. If you have the souce-code, it is much easier to just alter the time trades are opened, rather then contemplating the impossible...

@fireslayer26 - adding sl/tp code is easy - either include SL price (assuming a BUY - 'OrderOpenPrice() - SL_Pips * Point') in the OrderSend() function or modify an already open order with OrderModify() function. Ditto for TP's. The trailing stop is slightly more complicated but there are literally hundreds of EA's freely available that implement these functions...

@forexarchitect - what you are asking makes no sense - first, the code you provide is a partial custom function, that is passing pre-defined system variables (OP_BUY, OP_SELL, the values you are interested in it appears...) to another custom function which you do not include...

@litcons - not meaning to sound fasicious but the thread title is "how to code", whereas you matter-of-factly tells us you cannot code at all and are looking for someone to code an EA for you, practically from scratch - maybe the "coders for hire" thread would prove more receptive...

sorry about posting at the wrong thread, I should have uploaded the indicators for review, it would have made more sense,

I am trying to code an indicator to change the indicator color using a "if" conditional statement with no success.

PHP Code:


			
if(PeakUp==True)

{

#property indicator_color4 Lime

}

if(PeakUp==True)

{

#property indicator_color3 CLR_NONE

}





if(PeakUp==False)

{

#property indicator_color4 CLR_NONE

}

if(PeakUp==False)



{

#property indicator_color3 Red

}

Can anybody help??

:: you can't use "property" in a code, just use "color" to a normal variable name in your if statement. like... color indic.1=Lime

:: then use the color outcome in a SetIndexStyle() (look this up in you manual) but will be like...
SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_LINE,0,0,indic.1);

:: put all of this in your init() function

:: check in your manual where & how the #property must be placed, they have different aspects to consider.

Hi coders

i have try to create a EA with followin options:

Start by selected Hours and Time.

It seems as if this function is working.

The other option i like to have is:

Close all trades at selected Hour an Time.

Please see my EA-Template, that i have wrote.

Somebody can help an old man?

Does anyone know of a way to lock in the first occurrence of the value of OrderOpenPrice()?

for example double x=OrderOpenPrice(); but I never want the values to change
upon sale of the order or renewing the order

I need x to act as a reference point

any help greatly appreciated

thankyou

You could either write the price as a comment then move it to each order until such time as you want to change it, use a global variable or write to file.

Hi,

I have an EA that calls an indicator which tells me if the price is at a swing high/low. It works fine on the current bar, so for e.g if its a pinbar and its at a swing high/low then my EA creates a buy/sell entry. Its works great as long as my EA picks up pinbars. But its no good if I need to make the entry on say an inside bar at a swing high/low because the high/low bar as passed.

This code will work for the close of the first bar but I need the code to work for close of the second or third. In other words I need a way for my EA to remember that the price is at the high/low for a few bars after the high/low.

(prevtime != Time[0])
{
DeleteSellLimit();
}
prevtime = Time[0];
