Hi,

PHP Code:


			
int start()

{

int    i;



if ((Year() >= X) && (Month() >= Y))

   {

   Comment("===========",expired,"===========");

   return(0);

   }



   GetPosition = StrToTime(StrGetPosition);

   StartOrderTime = StrToTime(StrStartOrderTime);

   EndOrderTime = StrToTime(StrEndOrderTime);



return(0);

My Question is :

is GetPosition, StartOrderTime, EndOrderTime will be executed?

Cheers

Hi,

A friend of mine told me about this site. She toled me they have the best mql programmers.

Here's one:

If I set a code, for example....to buy at a 15:30(most of the news time), I checked the economic calendar.

PHP Code:


			
if (Hour()==15) 

 {

   if (Minute()>=30)

    {

      if (Seconds()>=00)

After this, something like this goes:

PHP Code:


			
OrderSend(Symbol().......................

Everyone writes it different,hehe.
Why can't it be the same?

Okay, here's the deal. For the above code, I want the OrderSend........and the continuing part to create a BuyStop 30 pips above the price at 15:30:00, and a SellStop 25 pips underneath the price at 15:30:00.

I asked my best friend, and she said to ask you guys. So, I really hope you guys are a big help.

I've spent weeks trying to figure out this code. I'm not kidding. So, will anybody that does coding in mql4 help me?

Hi Iscuba11,

see code for fix & explanation

Code:

extern bool Direction_Up=true; //-- bool with a lower case "b"
string Dir; //-- Dir has to be declared as a string

if(Direction_Up==true) Dir="UP"; 
ObjectCreate("Dir", OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);
ObjectSetText("Dir",Dir, 10, "Arial", White); // -- you left out the text to print - you named the object only.
ObjectSet("Dir", OBJPROP_CORNER, 1);
ObjectSet("Dir", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 36);
ObjectSet("Dir", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 120);

Hope this helps,
SaxMan

OrderSend - MQL4 Documentation

int OrderSend( string symbol, int cmd, double volume, double price, int slippage, double stoploss, double takeprofit, string comment=NULL, int magic=0, datetime expiration=0, color arrow_color=CLR_NONE)
symbol - Symbol for trading.
cmd - Operation type. It can be any of the Trade operation enumeration.
volume - Number of lots.
price - Preferred price of the trade.
slippage - Maximum price slippage for buy or sell orders.
stoploss - Stop loss level.
takeprofit - Take profit level.
comment - Order comment text. Last part of the comment may be changed by server.
magic - Order magic number. May be used as user defined identifier.
expiration - Order expiration time (for pending orders only).
arrow_color - Color of the opening arrow on the chart. If parameter is missing or has CLR_NONE value opening arrow is not drawn on the chart.

So in our case we have this:

PHP Code:


			
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,0.1,Ask+30*Point,3,0,0,NULL,1,0);
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,0.1,Bid-25*Point,3,0,0,NULL,1,0);

That is it!
No stoploss, no takeprofit.
Please note: your broker (most likely) will not accept new orders on 15:30, don't even dream about it. Yes, it will work on demo but not on real account - not any time sooner than 5 minutes before the news and no less than 3 minutes after the news.

Use search engines
Google
Yahoo!
and others.

How can use ObjectCreate on an indicator-separate-window versus the chart-window???? This would be handy!

If I can find the mq4 file would I be right in assuming I can use the code given by Codersguru at the beginning of this thread to add an alert to it?

thanks

I searched my 2,000 indicators and came up blank also. Maybe you could use the Juice indicator as a substitute???

This Force Index indicator is available from the Meta tradeplateform indicators, but without coding!

I think the terminology is "limit orders"; stop orders are pending orders in reverse to the price movement, and limit orders are pending orders with the price movement. Thus, you'd set a BuyLimit (or SellStop) above the current price and a SellLimit (or BuyStop) below the price. Apart from that, you already have the basic elements.... or maybe someone else wants to assist with actual code.

Hi iscuba11,

All you have to do is:

Code:

ObjectCreate("Object Name",OBJ_LABEL,1,0,0);

The "1" is the first window after "0" - Main chart window. So if you have 3 indicator windows open under the main chart window and you want your object to appear on the third indicator window, you would use a "3" instead of "0".

In this light I often use a "Blank" indicator window to place object labels in and often use these object labels to test my code "Live - as it happens" to confirm that my code is indeed operating correctly and things occur when and how they should.

Shinigami · #**720** (**permalink**) 08-05-2007, 03:30 AM

SellLimit - sell above the price
BuyLimit - buy below the price

If you don't trust me - try setting a SellLimit below the price and post a picture with such a trade
