Unfortunately for people like you, MetaQuotes is doing all they can to prevent* such a possibility. Such can be done only by hacking their protocol, which they consider illegal, and they have already sued not long ago a company that has offered ...

Simply duplicate the line (a if-statement rather) for a check for saturday, too, i.e. (pseudocode): for (all days){if (saturday) skip; if (sunday) skip; /*or else count me in*/}

I need help adding a trailing stoploss function

Yeah I forgotten: for some reason with scripts things may not get updated properly. I came across this finding in a project of mine. Best would be to run as EA.

Script to close orders once and only when new bar detected

Your initialisation of old_bars is wrong, it has to be old_bars = Bars. If script then it has to loop infinitely (at least until finished job), and old_bars=Bars statement belongs inside the outer if-clause. For next time remember enclosing code in ...

OK, mq5 file and a picture.

Metatrader 5 auto insert stop loss!

I have tested it on Alpari UK MT5 demo, it worked. What is Your broker?

Metatrader 5 auto insert stop loss!

In editor make a new expert (from template), delete all generated code, copypaste this and compile. Ignore all "[invaid stops]" errors, and I think it will do. SL has to be in sub-pips (i.e. 15 pips is 150 sub-pips). input int SL = 150; //15 pip ...

As long as you do not close orders you can also count the other way around, i.e.: for (ordPos = 0; ordPos < OrdersTotal(); ordPos++) { //do some tricks here// }

Addition equation subtracts... WHY?

Well this means that your code "features" another bug somewhere.. Because it has to be OrdersTotal()-1. Every working code does it like that and also the fact that your program did not work correctly is proof of that very fact. Think of it: ...

Addition equation subtracts... WHY?

No! Look... you forgot a semicolon at the end of the 3rd line in your code. And use code tags when exposing code! Like so: void checktime() { int LastAllowedDate = StrToTime("2013.02.15 23:59:00"); if (TimeCurrent() >= LastAllowedDate) { ...

A bit of help on time protection!

Well you seem not quite well at reading, so, here again: 1. You forgot a semicolon in 3rd line... 2. You not need return anything.

A bit of help on time protection!

If this is your exact code you obviously missed a semicolon in 3rd line.

A bit of help on time protection!

I do not think that the problem is in the particular lines of code that you exposed. Instead I suspect that the problem is in line 84, where it reads: for (opo = OrdersTotal(); opo >=0; opo--) //--look for open orders You forgot to subtract 1 from ...

Addition equation subtracts... WHY?

OK, EAs are tick-driven, and (if I understand) you'd need to know the point in time when a new candle is opened; then you'd check for condition and, if met, place a trade. So, you'd do: 1. Compare current candle open time with an initial candle open ...

This. In general API means just another way connecting to the same broker. So, it will depend on how your broker handles things. I do not know how for example high frequency trading technically works; likely HF traders use special providers or are ...

API Programming: One step closer to profitable trading

What API? There are only few brokers offering an API of any kind (except FIX, usually for customers with a lot of money or professionals/institutionals). Such APIs are broker specific (i.e. Dukascopy) . Or do you mean programming in MQL (programming ...

Need a kind soul to add sound/email alert to indicator

I think this should do.. However, you have to put in the (standard) values for high/low threshold, in line 66, 67, where it reads: extern double thresholdhigh; extern double thresholdlow;

Need a kind soul to add sound/email alert to indicator

Yeah, except the "OrdersTotal()" versus "OrdersTotal()-1", as pointed out by nubcake, and as you say, if it works it works. A litte bit clumsy yes, possibly not perfectly robust, but if you are satisfied, so be it. And: work on that formatting tho.
