I have an indicator similar to this one. Does anybody know how to pass it's values to EA? I've tried to use buffer, this way

double Trend[];
...
SetIndexBuffer(0,Trend);
...
Trend[0]=UpRating;
return(0);
}

I don't know if it works but I know that all indicator's inscription has gone. Any ideas about it?

Hello fellow trader

I need help with this code.

current function is to close first open orders by time and any following orders, mean it could be more than 2 orders closed in the same time.

Question: how do I change it to make it close the FIRST 2 open orders by time ONLY.
here the code.
thanks for help

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Close Condition Type 2 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

void CheckCloseConditionType2()
{
int Orders[];
int i, j;

ArrayResize(Orders, 0);

int cnt = OrdersTotal();
for (i=0; i < cnt; i++)
{
if (!OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)) continue;
if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol()) continue;
if (OrderMagicNumber() != Magic) continue;

int type = OrderType();
if (type == OP_BUY || type == OP_SELL)
{
int size = ArraySize(Orders);
ArrayResize(Orders, size+1);
Orders[size] = OrderTicket();
}
}

//-----

size = ArraySize(Orders);
for (i=0; i < size; i++)
{
if (!OrderSelect(Orders[i], SELECT_BY_TICKET)) continue;
if (OrderCloseTime() > 0) continue;
datetime tm1 = OrderOpenTime();

for (j=i+1; j < size; j++)
{
if (!OrderSelect(Orders[j], SELECT_BY_TICKET)) continue;
if (OrderCloseTime() > 0) continue;
datetime tm2 = OrderOpenTime();

if (tm1 > tm2)
{
int ticket = Orders[i];
Orders[i] = Orders[j];
Orders[j] = ticket;
}
}
}

//-----

for (i = size-1; i >= 1; i--)
{
double Profit = ArrayGetOrdersProfit(Orders);

if ((Profit >= TotalTakeProfit && TotalTakeProfit > 0) || (Profit >= Profit2Exit && Profit2Exit > 0))
{
Print("[Enter] Close by condition Type2");

string msg1 = "";
string msg2 = "";

double P;
double T.P = 0;

for (j=0; j < size; j++)
{
if (Orders[j] == -1) continue;
if (!OrderSelect(Orders[j], SELECT_BY_TICKET)) continue;
if (OrderCloseTime() > 0) continue;

if (StringLen(msg1) > 0) msg1 = msg1 + " + ";
msg1 = msg1 + "order " +Orders[j];

GetOrderProfit(Orders[j], P);
if (StringLen(msg2) > 0) msg2 = msg2 + " + ";
msg2 = msg2 +DoubleToStr(P, 2);
T.P += P;
}

Print("Close: " + msg1);
Print("Profit: " + msg2 + " = " + DoubleToStr(T.P, 2));

ArrayCloseOrders(Orders);

Print("[Exit] Close by condition Type2");
return;
}

Orders[i] = -1;
}
}

creativity + common sense + a bit of humor = lots of pipp

Hi,

I realized that after the market has gone for a great moves (up or down trend). The remaining market is somehow risky to trade with. I am trying to program an EA to avoid entering any trades say after a great move of about 90pips.

I need to know how to calculate the number of pips from first bar at 8am (london market open) to the current bar. If the market has already been moved for more than 90pips I will not take any trade.

Can someone code a few line to give me some clues? Many thanks and appreciated.

Shek

If needed, check first that you are later than 8 am:Then, find the max and min of the current day. (if its ok for you, its easier than from 8 am):

I try to add a new feature to this indicator High_Low (Zigzag) V2 so that for every time its formed a new high-low the ZZ will alert me. Don't know where it go wrong. The indi instead doesn't show up on my screen. Anyone?? Help me please.. I'm new to coding, please refine what I have done so that the indi will do just like what I want in the above. Here's the code.

Hi,

How to draw a rectangle background? I mean through conding. I know it uses ObjectCreate() but I don't know how to write it the way I'm suppose to.

What is the code to find out what time period the graph is running at? So I can change variable settings for each time period.

if(?????) . . .

Dave

or: Sometime it maybe easier to work with indices:Example : how to display the period by the string you want:

Thank You Michel!

I hope that this EA I am creating will be the one! Your help is highly appreciated!

Dave

hi there!

can some here help me add this function. Make it to close trade when the bar is completed or in another word to make it close the trade when the next bar appear.( doesnt matter the trade is profit or loss )
