Hi mrpro

I have added a little bit of code for you which will give you 4 ways of controling your lot size.
I have named it abc.mq4
Information on how to use it is in the code.

Hope this helps

Hey, thanks

I really appreciate it

Hi

I've some questions with MQL.
I would try to made my question in natural language :-)

Here's my first question :
When i put standard Stoch as indicator and i need to know 5 parameters :
1- current value of the %K line (the main one, Color LightSeaGreen in standard)
2- current value of the %D line (the signal one, Color Red in standard)
3- it had crossed ? (boolean)
4- Who cross Who ?
5- The level point (value) of crossing.

How i could simply write that with MQL ?
Perhaps it's possible to store theses parameters in an array ?

Thx.

Dear colleagues!

Could someone post piece of EA code which automatically closes open position exactly after definite time interval, for example, after 1 hour or 3600 seconds? It needed in case if open position didn't reached Take Profit or Stop Loss after exact hours.

Best regards,
Warren

I'm not sure whether this is the right thread or not, but I'm curious to know what folk do to protect their trading setup while it's unattended live trading.

For instance, the broker feed might go down, the broadband connection might drop, there might be a power outage or the PC might simply crash.

I've been made aware of remote monitoring systems whereby a PC on a different connection can be set up to regularly ping the PC that is live trading and report any errors via text message or other means.

Has anybody got experience of such systems? If so, is there a recommended system? What do people use and how does it work?

I am trying to alter the BB ea.

What I want it to do is when the ZZ Pointer is pointing down and the BB Stops turn to a sell is to place a sell trade and to exit on the next ZZ Pointer up signal. And when ZZ pointer is up and the BB Stops turn to a buy signal to place a buy and exit on next ZZ Pointer down signal.

The part of code I would like help with is below:

Code:

void BBStops()
{
     smax1 = smax;
     smin1 = smin;
     smax=iBands(NULL,0,Length,Deviation,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_UPPER,1);
     smin=iBands(NULL,0,Length,Deviation,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_LOWER,1);
	
	  PrevTrend=Trend;
	  if (Close[1]<smax1) Trend=1; 
	  if (Close[1]>smin1) Trend=-1;
		 	
	  if(Trend<0 && smin>smin1) smin = smin1;
	  if(Trend>0 && smax<smax1) smax = smax1;
	  	  
	  bsmax1 = bsmax;
     bsmin1 = bsmin;
	  bsmax = smax+0.5*(MoneyRisk-1)*(smax-smin);
	  bsmin = smin-0.5*(MoneyRisk-1)*(smax-smin);
		
	  if(Trend<0 && bsmin>bsmin1) bsmin=bsmin1;
	  if(Trend>0 && bsmax<bsmax1) bsmax=bsmax1; 
 
}
void normalSignal(int shift){
   double ZigZagUp,ZigZagDown;
   
   ZigZagUp=iCustom(NULL,0,"ZigZag Pointer",0,shift);
   ZigZagDown=iCustom(NULL,0,"ZigZag Pointer",1,shift); 
   
}

void TradeSignal()
{         

BuySignal = (  
               Close[1] - smax1 > DeltaLong*Point 
               &&
               PrevTrend<0
            );
  
SellSignal= (  
               smin1 - Close[1] > DeltaShort*Point
               && 
               PrevTrend>0
            );

}
 

void ExitSignal()
{         

BuyExit =   (  
               Close[1] < smin1 
               && 
               PrevTrend>0
            );
  
SellExit=  (  
               Close[1] > smax1
               && 
               PrevTrend<0
           );

}

So could some one show me how to enter the ZZ Pointer code into the Buy / Sell and Exit code above.

Thanks in advance

I need help in getting the following codes to an EA i tried my best but i could not finish it please is there anyone that can help me out ?

I am trying to compile the EA using MACD plus 6 and 12 close period Exponential Moving average for my signal manually via a multi time frame of 4 hours, 1 hour and 15 minutes chart as follows :

BUY POSITION : Once the MACD on 4 hours, 1 hour and 15 minutes chart confirms a positive divergence and the 6 close period EMA crosses the 12 close period EMA upwards on the 15 minutes chart, that gives a sure BUY signal with Take Profit of nothing less than 50 Pips for the trade.

SELL POSITION : Once the MACD on 4 hours, 1 hour and 15 minutes chart confirms a negative divergence and the 6 close period EMA crosses the 12 close period EMA downwards on the 15 minutes chart, that gives a sure SELL signal with Take Profit of nothing less than 50 Pips for the trade.

You will add a trailing stop of 25 pips. I use FXOPEN, FG TRADER, ALPARI, FXDD and IBFX.

I mainly trade GBP/JPY and EUR/USD. All i could code is bellow, please help me out in correcting and completing it :

I was going to ask for the exact same code. I need my orders to close out after a certain time interval. Does anyone know of such code?

zaireen · #**1239** (**permalink**) 07-26-2008, 06:53 PM

i dont know whether this is the right place to ask for help.. but could anyone here help modified this indicator?

my idea is, this indicator can draw a horizontal line in chart based on the calculation:

CUR = 0 (X price) + HH2 = Horizontal line 1
CUR = 0 (X price) + HH1 = Horizontal line 2

CUR = 0 (X price) - LL2 = Horizontal line 1
CUR = 0 (X price) - LL1 = Horizontal line 2

and additional horizontal line in between HH1 & HH2 and also horizontal line in between LL1 &LL2

i'm not a programmer.. so, i really2 appreciate if anyone here can help me.. Thanks..
