Hi Coders' Guru,
What is a "forward mode" ?
This is my simple EA code:
Code:
//+------------------EA1.mq4------------------------------------------------+
#property copyright "Ferman"
#property link "http://www.metaquotes.net"
#include <stdlib.mqh>
int ticket=0;
extern double Lots=0.1;
extern int Slippage=2;
extern bool Skip = false;
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int init()
{
Print ("--- Init happened ---");
return(0);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int deinit()
{
Print("--- DE-Init happened --- ");
return(0);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| expert start function |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()
{
double Stoc=0;
double Stoc_pre_1_bar=0;
double Stoc_pre_2_bar=0;
int gle=0;
Stoc=iStochastic(NULL,0,8,5,3,MODE_SMA,1,MODE_MAIN,0);
Stoc_pre_1_bar=iStochastic(NULL,0,8,5,3,MODE_SMA,1,MODE_MAIN,1);
Stoc_pre_2_bar=iStochastic(NULL,0,8,5,3,MODE_SMA,1,MODE_MAIN,2);
Print("-----------",TimeToStr(iTime(NULL,PERIOD_H1,0),TIME_DATE|TIME_SECONDS),"-------------");
Print("stoc = ", Stoc);
Print("Stoc_pre_1_bar = ", Stoc_pre_1_bar);
Print(OrdersTotal());
if (OrdersTotal() < 1)
{
//LONG TREN?
if (Stoc >= 30 && Stoc < 35 && Stoc_pre_1_bar < Stoc ) // GO LONG !
{
if (!Skip)// Are we in long trend already ?, yes - lets skip it and wait for the next break
{
ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,Slippage,0,0,NULL,0,White);
gle=GetLastError();
if(gle==0)
Print("BUY Ask=",Ask, " OrderTicket = ",ticket);
else
Print("BUY-ERROR! Ask=",Ask," Stoc=",Stoc," gle=",gle);
}
Skip = false; //wait for the next break
return(0);
}
return(0);
}//if
else // OredersTotal > 1 - Manage Open Orders
{
//Take Profit or stop lost
if ((Stoc >= 90 ) || Stoc <= 10 )
{
Print("need to close orderticket: ",ticket);
if (OrderClose(ticket,Lots,Ask,5,Red))

my problems are:
1) when starting my EA in backtesting mode (H1, EUR/USD, open price only), sometimes i see that i have already open orders (i am printing the OrdersTotal() in the start() func.)
2) i see sometimes that the program not starting in the begining ( i see prints that comes from the middle of the start() func', its like skipping some lines
3) in the results i see orders, and in the journal we see zero orders (OrdersTotal()=0) all the period of testing ...
4) the main() func. dont start every 1 hour, why is that ? (we can see the prints)

I tested the sample a lot of times and I didn't notice that. (Please view the log attached)

That didn't happen, check the log file attached.

No, not all the OrdersTotal are zero (see the log), but must of them are zero because every opened order closed before the next open (see Result tab log).

Do you mean strat() function? It starts every 1 hour(see the log)
Please see the attached log and tell me what do you think?

Thanks, codersguru for your answers.
It seems that verything ok with youe tests, i don't know what to say.
but, today i noticed that when reducing the amount of printing to the journal, those symptoms are goon ! (i have 4 print lines for every tick it the start() )
do you familiar with this problem ?
does a lot of printing ( print() ) to the journal can cause problems ?
need help - Open trades when starting my EA
!
Text Log is working fine.
