6. Settings.
It is magic number. Set the different number for different charts if you are trading on the same copy if Metatrader.
Slippage.
It is ID of signal calendar you are trading. Please look at post #3 of this thread for the explanation.
Code:
FileName ="USDJPY_D1";
It is the name of excel file: this EA is taking the signals from our tool
Forex-Tsd Calendar :: Calendars from one of the signal calendar (see explanation about ID) and placing the signals to excel file. Please note: name of this file should be different for different chart.
Code:
ReqPeriod = 30; // Calendar Request period in min
EA will request the signals from our tool's signal calendar (ID) with periodicity of
ReqPeriod. I am not recommending to set it less then 5 minutes. So, EA may get information about new signals to trade/close, or some correction of the old signals with with periodicity of
ReqPeriod.
Lots = 1; // Lot size
Lot size.
Code:
OrderDuration = 0; // Order Duratiton Time in min (0 - not use duration)
It is basicly using for pending orders: buy stop, sell stop, buy limit and sell limit orders.
Code:
ProcessTime = 5; // Order processing Time in min
For example: EA should open buy at 13:35. But Metatrader may be busy openning/modifying some other orders, or disconnected for 1 monutes. Thus, EA will start to open this buy at 13:35 and if can not so EA will try to do it during the next 5 minutes. It is very very usefull settings if you are trading many EAs in one copy of Metatrader.
Code:
UseNewSigClose = 1; // Use Order Close after new signal(0-off,1-on)
If
UseNewSigClose = 1: once you get new signal on some pair so old orders on the same pairs will be closed. For example, you have opene trade on USDCHF already but EA gets the other signal on USDCHF so this open trade will be closed and new order will be opened.
If
UseNewSigClose = 0: no one order will be closed once EA will receive new signal on the same pair.
Code:
UseEODClose = 0; // Use EOD Close (0-off,1-on)
SessionEnd = 23; // Session End Time
FridayEnd = 22; // Session End Time in Friday
Use end of the day close. If
UseEODClose = 1 so all the orders will be closed in the end of the day (
SessionEnd or
FridayEnd time).
Code:
OrdersNum = 1; // Number of orders
It is number of orders per one signal if
UseOpposite = 0 and
OrdersNum should be 2 in case of
UseOpposite = 1 (see below about
UseOpposite).
Code:
UseExtSets = 0; // Use External Settings for TP and IS (0-off,1-on)
If
UseExtSets = 1 so Ea will take stop loss and take profit value from the signal calendar. If
UseExtSets = 0 so EA will use its own settings for stop loss and take profit and the signals will be used just to open the order in right direction/pair/time/price.
Code:
UseOpposite = 0; // Use Opposite Orders: 0-off,1-on
If
UseOpposite =1 so EA will recognize two opposite signals: for example - buy stop order and sell stop orders. In this case
OrdersNum should be 2 and opposite signals should be written with 1 minutes interval in calendar and in this case only EA will recognize those two signals as an opposite ones. It is manily for pending orders.
Code:
DelOpposite = 0; // Switch of orders deleting: 0-off,1-on
If
UseOpposite =1 so we may use this
DelOpposite function.
If
UseOpposite =1 so it means that we have 2 opposite pending signals with 1 minutes interval from each other. If
DelOpposite =1 so once one order is executed so the rest one will be deleted.
Code:
TakeProfit = 200; // Take Profit in pips
StopLoss = 100; // Initial Stop in pips
TrailingStop = 45; // Trailing Stop in pips
BreakEven = 30; // Breakeven in pips
If UseExtSets = 0 so EA will use this settings.
Code:
rFilter = " Rating Filter ";
UseRatingFilter = 1;
MaxRating = 3;
MinRating = 2;
It is rating filter.
1 = low impact; 2 = medium impact and 3 = high impacted signals.
If you want to use this rating filter so
UseRatingFilter should be 1. If you want to trade medium and high impacted signals only so use
MinRating = 2 and
MaxRating = 3. If you want to trade high impacted signals only so use
MinRating = 3 and
MaxRating = 3.
Code:
MM_Parameters = " MoneyManagement by L.Williams ";
MM = true; // ММ Switch
MaxRisk = 0.04; // Risk Factor
LossMax = 0; // Maximum Loss by 1 Lot
It is money management.
MM should be
true if you want to use it. With this settings i posted EA will start with 0.2 lot size for 5,000 deposit with 1:100 leverage for example.
