I have a martingale type EA that wasn't written by me and I would like to change the way it places the orders. Here is how the EA works now. Let's say it opens a buy order for .10 lots for GBP at 1.9700. It then will open orders at user specified intervals. For instance I tell 50 pips apart. It will then open another buy order for .20 when price reaches 1.9650 and for .30 lots at 1.9600 and so on.

What I want it to do is use stop buys instead. For example after the first order at 1.9700 is open, I would like it to place a pending order at 1.9650 once the price has gone 25 pips below 1.9650. So when the price reaches 1.9625, then a pending buy stop order for .20 lots at 1.9650 is placed. If the price then climbs back up to 1.9650, then the buy is executed. This would stop the EA from accumulating losing positions if price went drastically against the first postiion. I would like to specify the number pips away from price to enter pending order.

I need to know what code, I need to change and add to accomplish this. If needed, I could give the EA. Thanks for any help.

Hello,

I'm looking to find a way to refresh a repaint indicator for every x minutes.
The only way to refresh it currently, is to click in the indicator on the chart and then click "ok". Can we automate it with MQL4 code?
I found something on codersguru's site, Programmatically Refresh your charts | www.metatrader.info, but it seems not working for me. Or is there anybody has try it and get different result (working)?

Thank you

I've adapted an existing trend indicator to create an object on the screen which displays UP, DOWN or HOLD as the trend changes. To improve clarity, I wonder if it is also possible to change the entire chart background to act as a more visible alert when the trend hits HOLD.

Is there a piece of code that I can use to do this? I've looked through the manual and haven't been able to see anything so far.

Not sure if that is possible but the solution would be to plot a colored rectangle (full screen size).

That's a brilliant solution, FerruFX, which I've now implimented and it's working fine. Many thanks.

Could somebody please either tell me or point to a thread showing how to do this.

I want to have 2 indicators displaying in the same window. Both indicators are oscillators with the same fixed minimum and maximum which I gather is important for it to work. One indicator is a MTF version of the other.

I've seen it done, but I don't know how to do it.

If I could make it work, it would save a bit of valuable desktop space.

From the mql4 help file...

Code:

double OrderProfit( ) 

Returns the net profit value (without swaps or commissions) for the selected order. For open positions, it is the current unrealized profit. For closed orders, it is the fixed profit.
Returns profit for the currently selected order.

Hope that helps.
