Help Making Simple EA work! Please

New comment
 

Hello,

Is there a kind soul out there that can help me with getting this EA working? I found this indicator (ABC.mq4) on a forum and would like to make a EA out of it, a friend of mine tried to make one but it dosent work (ABC EA.mq4). The indicator is really simple it signals buy/sell situations using arrows and i would like the EA to open a trade at the exact time a buy or sell arrow appears with TakeProfit and StopLoss parameters defineable by the user (preferably in pips)

I attach both the EA and the indicator so hopefully you guys don't need to make the EA from scratch. All help is appreciated.

It looks like a simple EA. Not coded the best but it will probably work if you were to use it on a non-ECN broker. This is probably why it is not working for you.

there is a mistake in calling the indicator! replace these lines in the EA:

double abc0 = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"ABC",0,1); double abc1 = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"ABC",1,1); with double abc0 = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"ABC",false,0,1); double abc1 = iCustom(Symbol(),0,"ABC",false,1,1);
Note the difference?..false. The indicator has it as an input. Good luck!

 

this EA is badly coded, you can only have 1 order Open on your entire MT4 account. maybe that is your issue.

You will need to change this if(abc0<1000 && i==0) to if(abc0<1000 && i < MaxTrades)

and put the Maxtrades as

Extern int Maxttrades = 10;
