EA read price of horizontal line

New comment
 

Hello,

i´ve been trying to make my ea read the price of an horizontal line to work as a trigger. I can type the price manually and it´ll work the way I want, but if i could "type" it graphically would be great.

I´m not an expert coder... :)


I used ObjectGet. Note that I also place a horizontal line on the chart and call it "line".


 double Trigger =  ObjectGet(line, 1) ;

 when I type

Print (ObjectGet(line, 1)) ;

it plots "0.0" so i know it´s not reading anything

Im I oversimplifying this, or using the wrong expression? Can anyone shed some light?


thanks in advance

  
   ObjectGet("line",OBJPROP_PRICE1)
..

Ok, I'm embarassed... :) need more coffee.
GumRai, thanks so much! Almost got it right, if it wasn't everything wrong inside the (...)

Cheers
 

NICE! It lives! sort of... Now it plots something like 1.135846854955456!


But the the trigger doesn´t work, maybe i´m not following.

 is this

 double Trigger = ObjectGet("linha", OBJPROP_PRICE1) ;


the same as this?

 double Trigger = 1.13584 ;


 on the second case it works like a charm. On the first, it doesn´t. Do i need to cut number of digits? or the value I get with ObjectGet isn´t ready to be used yet?


Thank you...

 

How have you written the code for opening the trade on that trigger?

Hi Honest_Knave,


this is the part that refers to stop orders, I have other order types on the code but don´t really use them:

  //StartTime Orders
            if(StopOrder)
            {
               if(!CountBuyStop && !Count)
               {               

                     //BUY
                     BEven = False;
                     
                     double TriggerOrder = NormalizeDouble(Trigger+PriceOrder*Point+Spread,Digits);
                     double minstoplevel=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL);
                     //Print("Minimum Stop Level=",minstoplevel," points");
                     
                     sl=NormalizeDouble(Trigger - Spread - StopLoss*Point + PriceOrder*Point,Digits);
                     if ( sl < minstoplevel*Point) sl = (Trigger - Spread - minstoplevel*Point);
                     
                     if(Ask < TriggerOrder)
                     {                   
                        ORDO = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,Lots,TriggerOrder,3,sl,0,"BotOrderBuyStop",MagicStop,0,Lime);
                        Comment("BUYSTOP order opened","\n");
   
                        if(!ORDO) Alert("The BUYSTOP order isn't opened because error nº", GetLastError());
                        else Print("The BUYSTOP order was opened successfully.");
                     }
               }


PriceOrder refers to the distance in pips to the Trigger where the stop order is supposed to be.

So, as mentioned, when I define manually the Trigger value (Price) it works as expected. Maybe replacing that value by the value returned by the expression ObjectGet isn´t the way to go...

 

Can the problem be the number of times it reads price? I mean, when i type the price manualy it it is fixed and defined only once. When I ask it to read the value of the horizontal line it constantly reads the value... like a few times every second... it plots ALOT of these lines... is it bad?

  1. How are you getting the name of the line?
  2. Check/Print _LastError after the ObjectGet
