Version 1.5
2021.01.30
Version 1.5: Added Option To Adjust the saved Pair Virtual Balance in case of a new Deposit or Withdraw in the account, by using only a input in the EA. But caution shall be taken. To make it work, first deposit/withdraw in your account OUTSIDE the trading hours. After that, go to each pair chart, click to open R Factors configurations, and then choose this option. Click OK, and it will compare the last total balance saved in a global variable after the last trade, to your current new account balance, and will proportionally adjust the virtual pair balance according to its current weight balance. After that is done, open again the R Factor config in the pair chart, and DISABLE this function. Always remember to disable it after using! Otherwise everytime you restart, it will again try the readjust the pair balance weight, increasing it unproportionally which is very dangerous! Do this for every pair chart in your account that is running R Factor so all of them will get its virtual balance weights updated according to your new deposit/withdraw.
- Added Option To Restart the Virtual Balance Weight for the pair, in case the user wants to reset the weights and start again, or in case the option above was not used correctly and the user believes the pair balance weights were messed. To use it, follow the same procedure as above, but this time using this function instead of the other.
- Added Options To Backup and Restore .csv Weight Files. It is very useful to it before performing the Pair Balance Adjustement or Restart as described above. This way your last pair saved balance is saved in another file and you can restore it if something goes wrong during the use of the functions above. Do the same procedure as both options above, and never forget to disable these functions after used!
- Added to Chart Comments the Probable Next Lot that will be traded according to the risk settings, and the Virtual Balance Weight For the pair, so the user can check if the Lot and virtual balance are matching the settings applied, specially after depositing/withdrawing and using one of the previous options
- Changed some dynamics in the code, and now avoiding to write in the .csv file if the last opened limit order resulted in no trade.
- Added Limitation to Order Lot size Open For the current pair, to the Sum of Orders Lot Sizes For the current pair (if more then 1 opened, considering both Buy and Sell sides and also pending orders), and to the Sum Of Lots for the Entire account, considering All pairs, all buy, sell and pendign orders.
- Added Trend Filters and Counter Trend Filters for future strategies development
