Anybody can direct/post good code on how to enter trade on a new bar?

// in main program
if(NewBar()) doEnterTrade();

bool NewBar()
{
static datetime dt = 0;

if (Time[0] != dt)
{
dt = Time[0];
return(true);
}
return(false);
}

2. seems to take sell orders as a preference over buy orders. This wouldn't really be an issue if problem number 1 was solved.

Here is the peice of code that seems to be holding me up:

Code:

   //Check position
   bool IsTrade = False;
   
   for (int i = 0; i < Total; i ++) {
      OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
      if (OrderType() <= OP_SELL &&  OrderSymbol() == Symbol()) {
            IsTrade = True;
      if (OrderType() == OP_BUY) {
            //Close

Any suggestions? I'd like to let it open as many trades as possible, and be able to open buy and sell orders simultaneously if the indicators say so.

Cheers for the help,
Benjimang

Why is everyone ignoring me?

Hi Coders,

I need a simple code function to look back over a certain number of bars and return the index of the bar with the greatest range (i.e. high[]-low[]) as well as the range of that bar, itself.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
SaxMan

Hi all,

I thought I had my answers with the following code:

Code:

double range[5];
  for(int i=1;i<5;i++)
   {
  range[i]={High[i]-Low[i]};
  int Max=ArrayBsearch(range,10,WHOLE_ARRAY,1,MODE_ASCEND);
  double MaxRange=(High[Max]-Low[Max])/Point;
  } 
  Print("Max Range: ",MaxRange," found at index: ",Max);

But it still just returns the last index not the largest range index.

Any further help would be appreciated.

Here's the fix:

Code:

double range[5];
  for(int i=1;i<5;i++)
   {
  range[i]={High[i]-Low[i]};
  int Max=ArrayMaximum(range);
  double MaxRange=(High[Max]-Low[Max])/Point;
  }
  
  Print("Max Range: ",MaxRange," found at index: ",Max);

This could be used to get the highest/lowest(using ArrayMinimum(range)) of the array to compare any variables.

Hope this helps,
SaxMan

Added:
* Minimum range
* Vertical Lines to highlight Max and Min range bars:

Code:

double range[2000];
  for(int i=1;i<2000;i++)
   {
   range[i]={High[i]-Low[i]};
   int Max=ArrayMaximum(range,WHOLE_ARRAY,1);
   int Min=ArrayMinimum(range,WHOLE_ARRAY,1);
   double MaxRange=(High[Max]-Low[Max])/Point;
   double MinRange=(High[Min]-Low[Min])/Point;
   }
  
  Print("Max Range: ",MaxRange," pips    found at index: ",Max);
  Print("Min Range: ",MinRange," pips    found at index: ",Min);
  
  int time1=Time[Max];
  int time2=Time[Min];
  
  ObjectCreate("stats1",OBJ_VLINE,0,0,0);
  ObjectSet("stats1", OBJPROP_TIME1, time1);
  ObjectSet("stats1", OBJPROP_COLOR, Red);
  ObjectSet("stats1", OBJPROP_WIDTH, 1);
  
  ObjectCreate("stats2",OBJ_VLINE,0,0,0);
  ObjectSet("stats2", OBJPROP_TIME1, time2);
  ObjectSet("stats2", OBJPROP_COLOR, Blue);
  ObjectSet("stats2", OBJPROP_WIDTH, 1);

extern Bool Direction_Up=true;
