That's what I was hoping for. Thanks.

Question about AccountProfit()

Yeah you're right. Too many parens. I copied and pasted incorrectly. As far as the logic goes, the actual EA code has if (OpenTradeSignalA == 1) as INT and it goes from 1 through 20(for 20 different signals). I have it that way so I can test which ...

Sending algorithmic string to buy signal in mt4

Got it. Thank you. Did this instead. Thanks again. example (for others to see if they come across this): if (OpenTradeSignalA == 1) { if ((Open[Y] > Open[X]) BuySignalA = true; if ((Open[Y] < Open[X]) SellSignalA = true; } if (OpenTradeSignalA == 2) ...

Sending algorithmic string to buy signal in mt4

I have an uneasy feeling that it could be the RT server of my broker that is sending OrderCloses after the bar. On their demo server it's sending on tick, but on the real server, it is not. Same code, same ea. Am I going delusional here or has ...

MT4 OrderClose Question

Thank you. Yeah, I had changed the magic number from null to < 0 and then updated it to <= 0 based on your suggestion. Does MT4 by default wait for a new bar to execute unless coded to check by tick?

MT4 OrderClose Question

Experience is working with programmers and getting them to do what needs to be done in regards to applications, but leaving the actual programming to them. For mt4, I do it myself. I would sub it out, but I don't trust others with proprietary ...

A more *dynamic, refined, redundant* exit algorithm

I'll try your code by pasting it over what I originally did in mt4 and let you know how it goes, not sure it will make a difference, but if it does I will let you know. Right now, I'm running a massive test that's going to run overnight on a ...

A more *dynamic, refined, redundant* exit algorithm

You are referring to aesthetically pleasing code and I'm sorry that my coding is so miserable and difficult to read. There may be a convention however my priority is execution, correct logic and compilation over cleanliness and readability. I also ...

A more *dynamic, refined, redundant* exit algorithm

This is what I tried but it doesn't work, it compiles, but the logic is off and not sure if the variable is being stored? extern double PP = 0.8; // percentage profit over account balance trigger extern double LP = 0.3; // min to close out if ...

A more *dynamic, refined, redundant* exit algorithm

Thanks. My question wasn't so clear but your answers and suggestions are very clear. My next question which I think has also been answered is How would I "save" the profit in code? I think it's been answered here as "watermark" the profit. I'm going ...

A more *dynamic, refined, redundant* exit algorithm

OK. My brain is fried right now and I'm trying to wrap my head around a math formula so that I can try building an indicator around it. I want to standardize 100,000 EUR to Gold Units and then 100,000 USD to Gold Units. First, why...this will give ...

Anyone try using XAU/USD - XAU/EUR as proxy for EUR/USD?

I used "proxy" in the wrong sense. Wasn't interested trading difference of XAUs with or in lieu of EURUSD or as a hedge. Was wondering if anyone uses it as an indication of EURUSD movement.
