Help - Condition: % greater of previous value
Hello. I dont know programming but I used one of that websites wher you can assemble EA's in a easy way.
The problem I have is, I want to create an EA that plays with the ATR.
Specifically, an EA that opens a BUY order everytime the actual ATR value is at least 1000% higher than the inmediate previous value.
I didnt found this option in this web-based EA generators, the most I did is the following:
extern int MagicNumber=10001;
extern double Lots =0.01;
extern double StopLoss=25;
extern double TakeProfit=500;
extern int TrailingStop=0;
extern int Slippage=3;
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// expert start function
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()
{
double MyPoint=Point;
if(Digits==3 || Digits==5) MyPoint=Point*10;
double TheStopLoss=0;
double TheTakeProfit=0;
if( TotalOrdersCount()==0 )
{
int result=0;
if((iATR(NULL,0,1,0)>iATR(NULL,0,1,1))) // Here is your open buy rule
{
result=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,Slippage,0,0,"EA Generator www.ForexEAdvisor.com",MagicNumber,0,Blue);
if(result>0)
{
TheStopLoss=0;
TheTakeProfit=0;
if(TakeProfit>0) TheTakeProfit=Ask+TakeProfit*MyPoint;
if(StopLoss>0) TheStopLoss=Ask-StopLoss*MyPoint;
OrderSelect(result,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(TheStopLoss,Digits),NormalizeDouble(TheTakeProfit,Digits),0,Green);
}
return(0);
}
}
for(int cnt=0;cnt<OrdersTotal();cnt++)
{
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if(OrderType()<=OP_SELL &&
OrderSymbol()==Symbol() &&
OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber
)
{
if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)
{
if(TrailingStop>0){
if(Bid-OrderOpenPrice()>MyPoint*TrailingStop)
{
if(OrderStopLoss()<Bid-MyPoint*TrailingStop)
{
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-TrailingStop*MyPoint,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Green);
return(0);
}
}
}
}
else
{
if(TrailingStop>0){
if((OrderOpenPrice()-Ask)>(MyPoint*TrailingStop))
{
if((OrderStopLoss()>(Ask+MyPoint*TrailingStop)) || (OrderStopLoss()==0))
{
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+MyPoint*TrailingStop,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);
return(0);
}
}
}
}
}
}
return(0);
}
int TotalOrdersCount()
{
int result=0;
for(int i=0;i<OrdersTotal();i++)
{
OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS ,MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber) result++;
}
return (result);

Since that is atr, the current atr will never be 1000% of previous atr (because of the averaging)
Oh, I made a typing mistake, I am refering to an increase of 10%.

}As you guys can see, the condition here is only that the actual ATR is higher that the previous, but I want to specify that this difference between actual and previous must be of at least 1000% higher (10 times higher).
