How to do this with my EA?

First off, I am totally new to coding MT4 expert advisors. So please bear with me. I have figured out how to get all the "conditions" I want to enter a trade, however I am a little stumped at configuring SLs and TPs.

Basically I want the SL and TP of each trade to be determined by a certain Fibonacci level from the previous candle. I'm sure this would involve coding a Fibo indicator into the EA. I have found a few auto-fib indicators but have no idea how to implement them into my EA. In addition, if the ATR is higher than what the Fibo-calculated TP would be, then the ATR value supersedes it and becomes the TP. That is all I am having trouble figuring out.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks

Both are a unit of measurement....

Points are used in equities (stocks) as pips are used in forex (eur/usd)

create new profile without overwriting old one

How do I clear the chart screen without affecting the currrent profile?

When i have a current profile on the chart screen and want to clear it to create a new profile it appears that the changes I make are saved on the current profile.

How do I clear the current profile and chart so I can start to add a new chart and create another profile?

I can't seem to clear the screen of the old charts without messy the current profile.

 

Education is Key

Yes, the thread is very useful. As far as I see the main point is training and self-education. You will be able to do nothing without them (Learn Forex Trading).

 

Applying templates to all charts

Hi folks!

Is there a way to apply a template to all charts without having to open each chart individually? If it matters, I'm just trying to adjust settings for my EA.

Thanks for reading!
