I've got this EA i'm using but needs additional tweaking. Is there anybody that can add an option to shut down the EA after a take profit. Also, i've noticed that it doesn't open a position if it gets a "requote". How can I rectify this problem? For example: EA opens a buy@.10 stops out then opens a Sell@.20 stops out and doesn't open a buy@.4 because of "requote".
I've been programming indicators for so many months that I'm a little deficient in experts but I'm intending to solve that. Along the way I need a little help. In my expert that I threw together I have it check at bar close if there is a condition that would warrant closing the trade.
I start with a global variable,
Code:
//--- Global variable
datetime PreviousBar; // record candle/bar time
and set one bool in init()
Code:
int init()
{
do_this = true;
}
blah blah boring stuff.... etc, etc
then in the main loop I have:
Code:
if(do_this == true)
{
PreviousBar = Time[0];
do_this= false; // so it does this only once only
}
if(NewBar() == true)
{
if(TotalOpenOrders() == blah blah close my order you crazy monkey)
}
and outside the main loop I have:
Code:
//--- returns true if current bar just formed
bool NewBar()
{
if(PreviousBar<Time[0])
{
PreviousBar = Time[0];
return(true);
}
else
{
return(false);
}
return(false);
}
OK so it is setup to do once per bar. What I want to do is have a function that increments 90 seconds or 60 seconds or whatever, then sets a bool to true after it's incremented that time. Basically I want to check the indicators every 60, 90, 120 seconds or whatever instead of at bar close. How do I do that?

This should do it. Remember that MT uses tick-based execution so per-second-accuracy is not possible (unless you loop everything in the Init() sub.).
Could someone show me the code to place a comment in the UPPER RIGHT corner of the screen, rather than the default upper left?
Thanks!
LinusGuy is right; there's no direct way. The easy workaround is to pad your Comment with spaces --
Comment(" <lots of spaces> hello world!");
willl offset the text to the right.
You can also put in line feeds to drop down the page.
Comment("\n\n\n\n\nyour text");
or combine linefeeds and space to print at the lower right-hand corner of the screen.

The function below will return true while the account history has a loss trade that closed at or after the opening of the 10:th past bar (current bar is 0),
and return false otherwise.
PHP Code:
bool postMortem()
{
datetime since = Time[ bar+10 ];
for ( int i = OrdersHistoryTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i-- ) {
if ( ! OrderSelect( i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY )
continue;
if ( OrderProfit() < 0 && OrderCloseTime() >= since )
return( true );
}
return( false );
}
If you add that function to your EA, then include a statement like the following in the start() function, then Bob's your uncle.
Linear Mode
