Thanks Linuxser.

Done

Can anyone help me code a "batch order"? I would like to have something that allows me to enter two seperate positions with the click of a button. I typically trade in hedged positions. I have several different pairs I trade at different times. All I would like to have is an EA that the moment I turn it on, it will (for example) enter me into a 1 lot long on the EURUSD and 1 lot short on the GBPUSD. Can anyone help assist me with this code? It would sure be much nicer to simply hit one button rather than to open one chart click new order, click buy and then race to open the next chart hit new order and sell it.
Thanks,
EZ

Hi,
i'm no coder but I think if I wanted to do this I would look at it slightly differently. have one EA to place one order, buy or sell which you put on charts then when you turn EA on in metatrader it will execute EAs and place the orders based on which charts you have placed EA on.

This way you have multiple instant order placed on several currency charts

Problem is though deciding which you want, buy or sell but it may help you until something better comes up.

hello guys
I have a question here... how do I change the following;

extern double MaxLot = 1.50;

double max_lot = GetMaxLot(OP_BUY, OP_SELL);
if (max_lot >= MaxLot) lot = CalcHedgeLot(order_type);
(order_type)]: ", lot);


if (lot == -1) return (lot);

lot = NormalizeDouble(lot, LotPrec);
if (lot > MaxLot) lot = MaxLot;
if (lot < MinLot) lot = MinLot;

return (lot);
}

the above check for OP_BUY AND OP_SELL

question: how do I change it to any OP_BUY OR any OP_SELL

appreciate

Can anyone tell me what the MQL4 code is for counting only the visable bars is?

I seem to remember sometime ago that someone posted the code for it but I can't find it anywhere when I search as I'm ever so slightly hampered by what to look for exactly. Off the top of my head I seem to recall it was something like ...

.... int counted_bars = window() or int window() = Bars-window()

But then again, the old gray matter ain't what it used to be ...

Is this what you looking for ?
-----------
int bars_count=WindowBarsPerChart();
int bar=WindowFirstVisibleBar();

You must modify the GetMaxLot() function code, or maybe you can use GetMaxLot(OP_BUY, OP_BUY); and GetMaxLot(OP_SELL, OP_SELL); (depends on the code - can do like that or not).
But I guess it worth to try

Thank you, Goen .

thanks for answering..

what do I need to change here? appreciate your help

double GetMaxLot(int type1, int type2)
{
double max_lot = 0.0;

int cnt = OrdersTotal();
for (int i=0; i < cnt; i++)
{
if (!OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)) continue;
if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol()) continue;
if (OrderMagicNumber() != Magic) continue;
if (OrderType() != type1 && OrderType() != type2) continue;

if (max_lot == 0 || OrderLots() >= max_lot)
{
max_lot = OrderLots();
}
}

return (max_lot);
}
