I was wondering is there any way in MQL4 to have functionality like eval() where you can have a string that contains MQL4 code and have it evaluated as code instead of a string?

Oh,sorry I've wronlgy express my opinion.

I want to code (but I'm not able to do) something that will stop EA trading (or part of ea trading) if the equity is under a value.

Thanks for your help Roger09, but I don't need to display rhe equity on the chart

In an EA I use iCCI with 1 Hour timeframe like

cci = iCCI(NULL,PERIOD_H1,CCIPeriod,PRICE_TYPICAL,1);

If I run the EA in 1H I will get a specific value. If I run the EA in a 15M I expect to get the same value.

On IBFX I get the same value. On Alpari not.

Seems strange

Ingvar

By calling PERIOD_H1 in your indicator call you should only get H1 data. That IS strange.

I am trying to get data from closed trades. My code works fine as long as I am only trading one pair, but with multiples it screws up somehow.

for(i=OrdersHistoryTotal(); i>0; i--)
{
if(totalOrders==0 && Magic==OrderMagicNumber() &&
OrderSelect(i-1 , SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY)==true)
{
CloseTime = OrderCloseTime();
OpenTime = OrderOpenTime();
OrderLots = OrderLots();
Ticket=OrderTicket();

}

Can someone help me out with this please? It gives correct value for the last trade closed if the Magic matches, but if the last closed trade is a different currency pair then it gives me the wrong ticket data.

Thanks heaps,

Steve

this is wrong : if(totalOrders==0 && Magic==OrderMagicNumber() &&
OrderSelect(i-1 , SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY)==true)
because you are calling OrderMagicNumber() before OrderSelect(), so it probably refers to the previous call.

Try this EA
CloseAllBuySell - MQL4 Code Base

Use its idea and make a code with something as

if (AccountEquity()<YourValue) closeallorders();

Could somebody please add the EMA trailing stop to the sample Moving Average EA

EMA trailing set to 1

Then change the entry to
Buy=Open[1]>ma && Close[1]>ma;
Sell=Open[1]<ma && Close[1]<ma;

This should make a very good simple scalper.

Cheers

Beno

Can anyone help me change the code below to move a SL to zero + or - a set number of pips? The Set Zero SL script by elihayun works great to move stop loss to break even but I would like it to move my stoploss to break even plus 10, 20 or whatever pips. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks for any help you can give, Tom.

Add at the beginning of program
extern int pips=2;//(or your number of pips)
then replace
