Re the slippage, 4/5 brokers etc, at this stage that doesn't matter, does it ? I'm using this for myself, on the same broker etc.
1. At this stage I don't want or need to check Magic Numbers, do I ?
2. Re the slippage, 4/5 brokers etc, at this stage that doesn't matter, does it ? I'm using this for myself, on the same broker etc.
1. If you are never going to place a manual trade on any of the same pairs . . . then you can work without Magic Numbers . . . if you forget and happen to place a manual trade on one of the pairs that you have this EA running on then the EA will manage your manual trade too . . . if you code it properly then this won't be an issue.
2. It doesn't matter . . as long as you always remember to set the extern parameters correctly . . for example, the code you posted has a Slippage of 3 . . . on a 5 digit Broker this will equate to 0.3 pip slippage . . . if you code it properly then 3 will always mean 3 pips on both a 4 or 5 digit Broker and then you will have less scope for errors. Not coding it correctly is a short cut that will probably cost you time in the long run . . .
Al right here's mine :
Get discipline with coding, first parameter of iCustom is <string Symbol>, use Symbol() or NULL instead of zero.
MetaEditor > Navigator Window (Ctrl +D) > dictionary tab > Technical indicator > iCustom
You using shift 1 and 2 in 4hrs chart, that's gonna be very long.
The order select I mention before, write it like this.
MetaEditor > Navigator Window (Ctrl +D) > dictionary tab > Trading functions > OrderSelect()
I will write more about that OrderSelect() thing.
There are 2 order close, write it like this, both of them
MetaEditor > Navigator Window (Ctrl +D) > dictionary tab > Trading functions > OrderClose()
And I have different approach than RaptorUK's, that give same result though, there are 2 of these, and you have change both of them
Have fun
:)
Yes, tested in the strategy tester, and compiled it, getting the 'no errors, no warnings' response.
Ran it just now on audnzd from 17/05 to 22/05, and it opened 3 trades, 2 buys that were stopped out, and one sell that was closed at the end of the test.
Here's the Journal info, top line first.
