so you want to take bar price values before or after a doji/inside bar, this doji/inside bar has to be formed first, otherwise you don't know if there is a doji/inside bar, so the next bar after the doji/inside bar has to be the current bar where you place your buy or sell orders, pending or not...

but you want to take price values before the doji/inside bar?
if it's after... you have to wait few bars longer, after the doji/inside bar...

something is not logic about that...
think I need more input

My questions :
1 : If I want to place a buy-stop and/ or a sell stop at the close of 2 bars BEFORE the doji and/or the inside bar, how do i code it ?
2 : If I want to place a buy-stop and/ or a sell stop at the close of the second or third bar AFTER the doji and/or the inside bar, how do i code it ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

I thank you in advance…

Hello IN10TION,

Yes, after the formation of the doji or inside bar, i want to be able to go 1, 2 or 3 bars before such doji or inside bar and place a buy-stop or a sell-stop.
In addidion, if i want to wait 1, 2 , or 3 bars after the formation...Let me explain that part further: Let's say we have an Inside bar at the close the 10 AM bar. Now i want to take the high or the low of the 12 PM (2 bars later) and place buy-stop or sell stop at 1:01 PM.

Hope i was clear. Should you need me to explain it further, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks for the help.

Do you already have some code for this, that you started?
in a mq4 file?

the first thing you need is confirmation doji/inside = yes or no
depending on your settings it will look before the doji/inside or wait
when it waits 2 bars it has to decide the orders, depending on the previous bar high or low...

well you can start programming

you have some code to find the doji's or insiders?

What different methods can be used to stop an EA from opening so many multiple positions back to back. I am thinking of adding a sleep function but I wouldnt want to miss out on any trades that could have taken please during the EA was in sleep.

if you see that all buys and sells are at the right place, and don't do anything drastically wrong, you then can find another filter, to have a more to the point buy or sell choice... let your EA test run on a visual chart and put also some different indicators on it, and see of those indicators can help you filter out those over orderings. Use a simple stochastic, or change the time period with it, adjust the stochastic values... try RSI, CCI. Stay with the same currency pair that you trust. Every pair has her setting and difficulty. Keep it simple.

use those bar positions to find the results of iHighest and iLowest

int iHighest( string symbol, int timeframe, int type, int count=WHOLE_ARRAY, int start=0)
int iLowest( string symbol, int timeframe, int type, int count=WHOLE_ARRAY, int start=0)

results & done

Code:

   int   yy  = TimeYear(Time[0]);
   int   mm = TimeMonth(Time[0]);
   int   dd  = TimeDay(Time[0]);
      
   datetime var1;
     
   string yymmddms = yy+"."+mm+"."+dd+" 00:00" ;
         
   var1 = StrToTime(yymmddms);
  
   int shift =i BarShift(NULL,0,var1,false);   
           
   int hh = Highest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,shift,0);
   int ll   = Lowest(NULL,0,MODE_LOW,shift,0); 
      
   double xRES = iHigh(NULL,0,hh) ;  
   double xSUP = iLow(NULL,0,ll) ;

Is there a simpler way to find the bar number of today's high and low?

today_high = High[0];
today_low_ = Low[0];

Find the bar number for today ??? The 0 mean today. On D1 of course.

If you are on other TF:

today_high = iHigh(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,0);
today_low = iLow(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,0);

I know I can use a for loop and check.

Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Is there a first bar of today function?

Thanks.

datetime some_time_start_day=D'0000.00.00 00:00';
datetime some_time_end_day=D'0000.00.00 00:00';
int shiftStart=iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_M1,some_time_star t_day);
int shiftEnd=iBarShift(NULL,PERIOD_M1,some_time_end_da y);

double valH=High[iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,shiftStart-shiftEnd+1,shiftEnd)];
double valL=Low[iLowest(NULL,0,MODE_LOW,shiftStart-shiftEnd+1,shiftEnd)];

nothing simpler then this...

ps. I thought the question was find the bars on a lower timeframe, otherwise just do what FerruFx explained take from D1

Dear codersguru,

I need ea that should be piece of cake for you,
it close all open positions (for certain pair) when 2 MA crossed.
Off course, if faster MA crossed down slower MA it close long position,
vice versa.
Variabels :
- Faster MA type
- Faster MA value
- Slower MA type
- Slower MA value
- TimeFrame (we can fixed the timeframe without being interferred
when we switching between timeframe graph windows)

I have tried to modified MA crossed EA, but always failed.

Thank you for your kindness.

Thanks.

I guess there isn't a simpler way.

I thought there might be a keyword/reserved word for BarStartOfDay or something.
