I could also point people to documentation that does not contain the answer.. So answer me this? Why doesn't the sleep command work in the code below? if(DropProtection !=0) { total = OrdersTotal(); for(i = total - 1; i >= 0; i--) { OrderSelect(i, ...

Five dollar programmer

That may be right but some of us try to do our homework and still get few here to answer. I have a "sleep question" simply if I can include a time variable inside the brackets instead of ms. Many people will know the answer but about two or three ...

At the risk of the blind leading the blind. I can't answer your question but I think you can do this. Give it a shot anyway, it might work. if(IsTradeAllowed() ==false) return(0); or if(IsTradeAllowed() ==true) return(0);

2 quick questions and hopefully simple answers

Can I use the sleep command like this? If not how would I make the EA sleep after the condition was met? if(DropProtection !=0) { total = OrdersTotal(); for(i = total - 1; i >= 0; i--) { OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES); if(OrderSymbol() ...

3 Programming Function meanings?

Great minds think alike.. I was going to do something like this. If trailing stop has not been set due to lack of move, then take profit before moving average period 14. I am still a beginner but I am about to start on this right now. Might save ...

First Profitable Close

I think it is a horses for courses thing.. I am just really stumped why that code deletes every order.

troublesome line of code

Well originally I had this code, which looks ok to me with my limited knowlege. This does the same thing. Its like it is paying no attention to the condition image if( StopResetMinutes > 0) { total = OrdersTotal(); for(i = total - 1; i >= 0; i--) ...

troublesome line of code

Hi, I am back to square 1 with this piece of code. Can anyone enlighten me why this code is deleting every buystop order? if (UseDeferOrderTimeout == 1) { if((TimeCurrent() - OrderOpenTime()) /60 >= StopResetMinutes) { if(OrderType() == OP_BUY) ...

troublesome line of code

LOL..yes, I did it again.. but I found the problem. I changed the i to e and it started to work. Before I had a global variable for i. like this if (MayOpenDeferOrder && Delay_Next_Order_Minutes !=0) int e=-1; //Time Delay for the next Order { total ...

troublesome line of code

I changed it. I think my head hurts... still no luck! No compile errors.. either.

troublesome line of code

Hi EC No, Delay_Next_Order_Minutes is just a variable. Since this is the first OrderSelect I have done (never want to do another) I thought I must have something wrong there. I pasted in your code and it still hangs the chart and wont open any ...

troublesome line of code

The Lastest problem — I wonder if anyone can tell me why this code prevents any orders and causes the visual backtest to freeze? I have been at this for hours now.. can not figure it out. if(MayOpenDeferOrder && (Delay_Next_Order_Minutes > 0)) ...

Hey, that looks like a good plan for a dynamic stoploss.. I will give it a try, so thanks for the code

EMA Close Crossing EMA High/Low Help Please!

Yep, I eventually worked it out. I sent him an mq.4 file not an .ex4, not sure why he would compile it and then de-compile it.. anyway I will ask him for just the piece of code I paid for to be pasted in and the original returned. Wow.. that sounds ...

Changing the way code looks

BTW, the code pasted here is not code that needed any changes. It is just a random selection to post here as a demonstration. The whole EA is like that.

Changing the way code looks

No, it is the same code and it has been run through some sort of program to change the code. It is not possible to re-write a 50 page EA in a few days exactly as it was before. I sent the EA to him nearly 2 weeks ago but he had not started on it ...

Changing the way code looks

Would this be a good solution for a stoploss/takeprofit instead of a trailing stop? I optimise on where to set my trailing stop and I have found that really there is no good answer. If the market is moving slowly, it should be closer that when it is ...

Adding Spike Protection

Oh, sorry, I had that sorted out and I had moved on to the next problem. I still have quite a few to sort out but I am getting there.
