There is no error checking in the program when an order is placed, therefore there won't be any error messages logged. That doesn't mean that errors aren't occurring, just that they aren't being caught. This is very poor coding practice. You could ...

EA isn't opening a buy on a live chart

“If it walks like aduck, quacks like aduck, looks like aduck, it must be aduck” This duck looks like curve fitting to me. You have also made an assumption that an EA can detect whether its in a trend or not. Many have (including myself) tried and ...

Help with EA mod, please... proof is here

Have you heard of the term "curve fitting"? That seems to be what you are proposing. Think of a dog chasing its tail and you will understand why its futile.

Help with EA mod, please... proof is here

Like you would know. What bout finding out how the existing code works? Then devising test cases for confirmation and regression testing. Then finding out that the user has another small change and repeating all of the above. Now it doesn't sound so ...

Need some help to account for commissions in EA

If it repaints, there is no point in coding an EA, because it will seem to make erroreous entries. You need to verify that. I

Request help coding an EA based on an indicator

Fractals do. Check it out.

Question on Awesome Oscillator

MT4 does not have event handling so it cannot do things like counting down a timer. Apparently MT5 has this capabilty, but I have not tested it. Every MT4 timer should come with a disclaimer. Don't understand coders who write code that way. The best ...

Need my strategy to be automated!

Jeuro, I have two questions for you. 1. Don't you think its reasonable for a requestor to put more effort into doing due diligence testing than the effort required on the part of the coder? Keep in mind that often it takes a lot of effort just to ...

Need my strategy to be automated!

So very. Too many schemers and dreamers on this forum.

Need my strategy to be automated!

It looks like a grid system to me, so it can be automated. There quite a few grid trading EAs around and maybe one of them suits your requirements. I noticed you didn't address my point about verifiable results.

Need my strategy to be automated!

Do you have verifiable results? (ie myFXbook). For a non techie to state that a strategy can be automated is useless. You have no idea what a mechanical system is like until you made a dozen or so.

Lately its seems to be happening more and more. I seldom download code any more. If it isn't stolen, its an mess of spaghetti code.

What is the code for indicator refresh?

MT4 - Multiple Take Profit Levels/Partial Close

This will control how often to do the refresh. Its not guaranteed to work, since I modified some existing code. But its close. if (Time[0] > RefreshHRs*60*60) //start of new bar (60 sec * 60 min/hr) { // do the calculation and refresh the chart ...

What is the code for indicator refresh?

I don't think I understand your question. You can put as many indicators as you want into a subwindow by dragging and dropping. But it seldom makes much sense as you will see from experimenting. Perhaps combining a volume indicator with an RSI might ...
