I got it to work now.

hedge4x:
This line while(!IsAllClosed) {CloseAllTrades(); return;}

in the main start will close all open positions if MT goes down

and I start it back up. Is there a way to put this line

in the closealltrades function so it won't close all open positions

after MT4 restart?

thanks.

Yes, sorry you can define the bool at start time like this :

bool IsAllClosed = true ; //Global variable[/PHP]

Then it becomes even better to define a extern variable, so you can keep the control :[PHP]extern bool CloseAll = false ; //Global variable

void CloseAllTrades()

{

int cnt;

CloseAll = false;

for(cnt=OrdersTotal()-1;cnt>=0;cnt--)

{

OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if (OrderMagicNumber()==GetMagicNumber())

CloseAll = CloseAll || !OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), OrderClosePrice(), MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_SPREAD), Yellow);

}

}

void start()

{

while(CloseAll) {CloseAllTrades(); return;}

...

The main advantage of this method is that the EA try to close each postion at each tick until all are closed.

how to refer to the filename I'm running?

Hi,

I want to know how can I refer to a filename that I am running.

For example if I run a script called supertrader.mq4 and I want to open a logfile called supertrader_logfile from the script supertrader.

Is there a variable that holds the name of the file I am running?

Thanks.

Maybe by adding void Print( ...) to the script.

void Print( ...) Prints a message to the experts log.

Wolf Wave. I need your help

Dear Codersguru,

I am not a programmer and in my trial and error style, the wolf wave I tried to improve is giving the signal " the second parameter, ObjectTextSetFunction must be a string.

Please help me to rectify.

Thank you in anticipation.

Hi guys I need a bool function that returns true if 5 mins has passed, or 10 mins or whatever. I know how to check for a new bar already but its not often enough.

Maybe

double LastRedraw = 0;

if(TimeLocal() - LastRedraw > 300)

{

Print();

ObjectsRedraw();

Print("ObjectsRedraw Done");

LastRedraw = TimeLocal();

}

}

[/code]

Or this:

[CODE]

bool ElapsedTimeCheck(int MyMinutes)

{

static datetime OldTime;

if (OldTime == 0)

OldTime = TimeCurrent() + MyMinutes * 60; // initialised once...

if (TimeCurrent() >= OldTime)

{

OldTime = TimeCurrent() + MyMinutes * 60;

bool cond = true;

}

else cond = false;

return(cond);

}
