I am working on the exit logics... This is the buy.closing...
//| Signal Begin(Exit Buy)Closing logic for long positions |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
if (Buy1_1 <= C_trendsetter) Order = SIGNAL_CLOSEBUY;
// if (Buy1_1 <= C_trendsetter) StopLossMode = True;
if (Buy1_1 <= CloseBuy1_2) CloseOrder();
if (Buy1_1 <= CloseBuy1_2) TrailingStopMode = True;When I turn on the close buy condition it does in fact close the trade.
see attached.
[PHP]//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

// if (Buy1_1 <= C_trendsetter) Order = SIGNAL_CLOSEBUY;
if (Buy1_1 <= C_trendsetter) StopLossMode = True;
if (Buy1_1 <= CloseBuy1_2) CloseOrder();
if (Buy1_1 <= CloseBuy1_2) TrailingStopMode = True;if the stop loss triggered it should have close shortly afterward but didn't, yet the trailing stop obviously triggered, see attached..
Still not doing what I tell it to do...
It did the close on the first trade...but not the second trade...see attached.
if (Buy1_1 + StopLoss*Point <= C_trendsetter) Order = SIGNAL_CLOSEBUY;
this seems to work.
found the bug...
this should be
if (Buy1_1 + StopLoss*Point <= C_trendsetter) Order = SIGNAL_CLOSESELL;
for the shorts...
I copy and paste so much I lost track of the order signal...oy.
if (Buy1_1 + StopLoss*Point <= C_trendsetter) Order = SIGNAL_CLOSEBUY;
should be
if (Buy1_1 + StopLoss*Point <= C_trendsetter) Order = SIGNAL_CLOSESELL;
Color questions
How do I make the moving average lines the color I specify when it opens in the strategy tester chart?
How do I make the arrows show larger when I open the strategy tester chart?
do you think it is possible to have moving average envelopes that project themselves into the future in a straight line?
do you think it is possible to have moving average envelopes that project themselves into the future in a straight line?
moving averages are determined by the past "x" periods average,
for example, if you apply the moving average to the close, one period closes at 1.3417, and the next is 5 pips higher, and the next 5 higher, and etc, a moving average would "average" thoose values to come up with a current value.
and because the price is always changing, only the moving averages that look back for over 100 pips or so, look close to straight most of the time
in answer to your question, if it is possible, please let me know! (lol)
hello, i am working on an EA that I am trying to do a price cross with.
how do i know if it has crossed?
if i do if Ask>iCustom() then it puts in orders any time it is above
if i do if ask=iCustom() then it misses buys because it does it per minute
on dealbook i would do if ask[-1] =iCustom but i cant fiure it out here as Ask and Bid do not have history
additional charts
hi,
this is probably irrelevant to this thread, but i wanted to know how to add on extra charts for metatrader 4...like silver, audnzd, nzdusd, platanium etc. Someone had given me this attachment once to copy paste in the metatrader folder to get these charts, but it seems i lost it, so can someone please help me out here.
thnx
