i just seen a forum that has the function of posting mql code into the forum
it's easier and automatically change the color into the Metaedtor-like scheme
this will be more helpful to post the code here without attacthing files
hope this is posible and someone expeert can creat itI think you could wrap the code with PHP tags. The button is on the right of the editing tools (bold, italic, underline, etc.). Hope this help
Example :
{
total = OrdersTotal();
for(cnt=0;cnt<total;cnt++)
{
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if(OrderType()<=OP_SELL &&
OrderSymbol()==Symbol() &&
OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber)
{
subTrailingStop(OrderType());
}
}

How do I code an EA to enter a trade at the open of a new candle?
Hi everyone,
Please forgive my ignorance, but I am new to the programming side of MQL4.
What I am trying to accomplish is enter one trade at the open of a new candle.
For example, if I had a 30min chart open, I would like to enter one trade at the open. Or if I had a 4hour chart open, how would I enter the trade at the open of that chart?
Also, I would like to enter only 1 trade at the open. I have tried a few commands and found it either entering the trade many times during the first minute, or not at all.
I have tried the "time current" function as well as "if minute = XXXX". The EA works when I backtest it, but when I try to put it on my live demo, it only works once in a while.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
