I have no idea what i'm doing wrong..
this doesn't seem to close half at a certain TP

if (OrdersTotal()>0) {
OrderSelect(0, SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
Tick = OrderTicket(); // Number of selected order
Tip =OrderType(); // Type of selected order
Price =OrderOpenPrice(); // Price of selected order
Lot =OrderLots();
if (Bid >= (Price + (TakeProfit * Point)) && Lot == 2 && (Tip == OP_BUY)) {
OrderClose(Tick,1,Bid,10,Red); }
if (Ask <= (Price - (TakeProfit * Point)) && Lot == 2 && (Tip == OP_SELL)) {
OrderClose(Tick,1,Ask,10,Blue); }}

Do I have the BID and ASK correct? probably not

i need a code to restrict my ea to only one trade. its a scalper, i only want one trade, after it makes, i put it off and attach it again the next day. can anyone help me on this??

Somewhere in this thread this question had to have been asked...
Can someone help me with the code to 1) have a hidden SL that 2) only closes part (50%) of the open order and 3) closes the remainder of the order after it crosses a moving average.

Attached is an EA, but it's not in English, so I can't fully understand what it is doing or where to add my other code.


Thank you for your help.

Please tell me what I did wrong invoking iCustom that causes an indicator to load again with each new tic. (Backtesting fills the whole viewing window with hundreds of iterations of that indicator.)

From my "Start Program" I want to confirm a trade opportunity using EntryDir() method (which follows):

static datetime lastsd;

if ( CurTime()-lastsd>2*60*Period() )
{
if(ZZ>=High[1] && EntryDir()==OP_SELL)
{
if(pos == 1) {DoExit(OP_BUY);}

PrepNewOrder(OP_SELL);

lastsd=CurTime();
}

if(ZZ!=0 && ZZ<=Low[1] && EntryDir()==OP_BUY)
{
if(pos == -1) {DoExit(OP_SELL);}

PrepNewOrder(OP_BUY);

lastsd=CurTime();
}
}


int EntryDir()
{
bool buyOK=false, sellOK=false;

double flow = iCustom(NULL, 0, "Dtron", 0,0) + iCustom(NULL, 0, "Dtron" 1,0);
double trigger = iCustom(NULL, 0, "Dtron", 1,0) + iCustom(NULL, 0, "Dtron", 3,0);
double reversal = iCustom(NULL, 0, "Dtron", 4,0);

if((reversal==0 && flow + trigger>0) || reversal>0) entryDir=OP_BUY;
if((reversal==0 && flow + trigger<0) || reversal<0) entryDir=OP_SELL;

return(entryDir);
}

Please show me how to prevent causing hundreds of Dtron indicator windows from opening here.

so all i want to do is get the MT4 Acc# from a dll.

Dll_call asks Dll_call_include for the "GetAccountNumber()" double from Dll_call.dll

simple right? the ea loads fine even with the wrong Acc# in the dll. Mt4 asks to use the dll.

the 3 files are in the right 3 folders, the dll is a .dll file (attached as a .txt to view code.

could someone please view the code for errors?

thanks

Did you include GetAccountNumber in a .def file in your compiled dll? You have to do this for it to work.

Also, make sure Allow Dll imports is selected for your expert.

Hope this helps.

im a bit new to C++ so i guess ill study def files. i read adding the def file to the librarys folder where the DLL is may solve this but no.
also read adding the DLL to the system32 folder, still no.

i plan to email this project to people so id rather not have to say how to place 4 different files all in different folders. is this the only way?

is the code in the 3 files right?
thanks alot

this is the def file. look ok?
does it need to go in librarys with the DLL?

The .def file is part or your compiled c++ solution. I then copy my compiled c++ dll into the system32 folder in windows. I use a 32 bit system with windows xp.

I'm no expert in c++ either, but this is how I was able to make it work.

thanks for the help, but still no.

werid thing is i tried making an EA with the usual code to check acc #:

int a = 907671;
int b = AccountNumber();
if (b != a) {
Alert("Checking Account No! (" + DoubleToStr(li_16, 0) + ") wrong Acc");
return (0)}

as an EA it loads no matter what the number is, but if i make it as an indi it works fine?

ggrrr
