OrderSelect(5555, SELECT_BY_TICKET);
RefreshRates();
if (Ask >= (OrderOpenPrice()+ (5 * Point)) && OrderLots() == 2 && (OrderType() == OP_BUY)) {
OrderClose(5555,1,Ask,10,Red); }

if (Bid <= (OrderOpenPrice()- (5 * Point)) && OrderLots() == 2 && (OrderType() == OP_SELL)) {
OrderClose(5555,1,Bid,10,Blue); }


Still trying to learn...

would this work for basically closing half (2 lots down to 1) of a position when the price hits 5 pips away from open price?


THANKS!!!!!!

Looks about right. It's a bit messy though. You could also use OrderProfit depending on what you actually want to achieve.

PS: Forgot to mention to watch out for 5 decimal place brokers. Everything needs to be multiplied by 10 so in your example 5 would be 50. Good luck!

Thanks LUX

Problem is that I have it running just to debug on a 1 minute GBP/USD chart with Windsor direct and it is Not closing 1 lot when it hits the 5 pips so I don't know what the deal is.

ALSO,
I'm trying to close a buy and immediately open a Sell and THAT"S NOT GOING to well either.
It works and then it doesn't...
I WISH THIS WAS ALOT easier to program

if (*******************) {
RefreshRates();
OrderSelect(5555,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
if (OrdersTotal() > 0 && OrderType()==OP_BUY) {OrderClose(5555, OrderLots(), Bid, Slippage, MediumSeaGreen);
if (SignalMail) SendMail("[Signal Alert]", "[" + Symbol() + "] " + DoubleToStr(Bid, Digits) + " Close Buy");}
Sleep(1500);
RefreshRates();
if (OrdersTotal() ==0) Ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, Lots, Bid, 10, 0, 0, "Sell(#" + MagicNumber + ")", MagicNumber, 0, DeepPink);
if(Ticket<0)Print("OrderSend failed with error #",GetLastError());
}

I am new to this language and I am trying to write an indicator. I am having problems since there is no debugger. I tried to use the Print() but nothing gets printed. Using the Alert() I get ZERO as an output for the buffer[1] . Can anyone explain this to me please. How can I use the Print() and Alert() to debugg without getting all ZEROs. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks so much.

ExtMapBuffer1[i] = iMA(NULL,0,ExtParam1,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i);
ExtMapBuffer2[i] = iMA(NULL,0,ExtParam2,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i);
CurrentBar = Time[i];

if( ExtMapBuffer1[i] >= ExtMapBuffer2[i] && CurrentBar == Time[i] && Flag == 0)
{

Alert("ExtMapBuffer1[i] =", ExtMapBuffer1[i]," Short is Above. ",Hour()," Minute ",Minute());

Alert("ExtMapBuffer2[i] =", ExtMapBuffer2[i]," Short is Above. ",Hour()," Minute ",Minute());


Print("ExtMapBuffer1[i] = ", ExtMapBuffer1[i]);
Print("ExtMapBuffer2[i] = ", ExtMapBuffer2[i]);

how is it possible in a simple calculation to round up to a result ?

Depends on what you want to do:

double MathRound( double value)
Returns value rounded to the nearest integer of the specified numeric value.

double MathFloor( double x)
The MathFloor function returns a numeric value representing the largest integer that is less than or equal to x.

double MathCeil( double x)
The MathCeil function returns a numeric value representing the smallest integer that exceeds or equals to x.

double NormalizeDouble( double value, int digits)
Rounds the floating point value to the given precision. Returns normalized value of the double type.

Hi,

I would like some help programming an additional input to this ea.

It is a basic grid/mart sys that places pending orders above and below the starting price at equal increments where the tp for buy orders is the same value as sl for sell orders and viceversa.

From what i can work out It currently calculates the tp/sl as (4 * pip increment) from the price at which you start the ea.

I would like an input which would allow me to adjust tp/sl by X number of pips.

ie (4 x pip increment) + X,

thanks for your help.

Hi all,

how you can program the following :

if close latest Order, wait x-Bars to open new Order ?

Thanks !

I'm trying to get my EA to count the number of bars within a given period (i.e.; last 20 bars) that closed bullish and bearish. I came up with this while statement but it doesn't work, it always prints Bull Bars:0 Bear Bars:20. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?


// Count bull and bear bars
double open, close;
int bull_bars=0, bear_bars=0;
int bar_count=20; // Bars to count

if(Volume[0] == 1){ // Only check on open of new bar

int bars=0;
while(bars < bar_count){
open=iOpen(NULL,0,bars);
close=iOpen(NULL,0,bars);

if(open<close){bull_bars++;} else {bear_bars++;}

bars++;
}

Print("Bull Bars: ", bull_bars, " Bear Bars: ", bear_bars);
}

err, I figured it out. I changed my while to this and it works

while(bar_count > i){
open=iOpen(NULL,0,i);
close=iClose(NULL,0,i);

if(open<close){bull_bars++;}
if(open>close){bear_bars++;}

i++;
}
