EA - Need help (no automatic trade launch)

jonathan75 2019.04.17 21:49

Hi everyone,

I'm creating this post in order to fix my unsolvable problem.

In my opinion, my script is good ( no warning and no error message ) but when i want to do some backtest, nothing is happening.

For information and to help the comprehension of this script, I just want 1 trade by 1.

In the beginning, I wanted to add trailling stop but it seems like impossible, because I can't fix the main part of the script.

Someone could help me please ?

Thanks in advance.

extern int StopLoss = 1500 ;

{
if (OrdersTotal () >= 1 
&& OrderType () == OP_BUY 
&& (Close [0] <= Close [2]|| RSI0 <= 48))

{
int OrderBuyClose=OrderClose (OrderTicket(),LotSize,Ask,slipage,Red);
}
}


// ------------------ Ordre Close Sell

if (OrderSelect(OrderTicket(),SELECT_BY_TICKET)==true) 
{
if (OrdersTotal () >= 1
&& OrderType () == OP_SELL

{
int OrderSellClose=OrderClose (OrderTicket(),LotSize,Bid,slipage,Red);
}
}
}
return (0) ; 
}

I will really appreciate some help.

Thanks again in advance.

I didn't look into the details but off-hand I think u need to code the "void OnStart()" function... also, you mentioned script, so is it really supposed to be a script (as in run just once and end) or an expert (that runs repeated every tick)?

Right, if it's an EA, you must have a "void OnTick()" function that serves as the main routine that orchestrates all actions you want to take at every price tick.

Well, I still don't see OnTick function, and even if I ignore that, I cannot even compile your code without error.

Did you check your Toolbox->Errors of your MetaEditor after compilation for errors?

With this code, I didn't have any error of compilation.

But with the correction of Jean-Jacques Juille, the EA launch trade automatically.

And you are right, the correct code have OnTick function.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot Jean-Jacques Juille.

Your correction fix my problem. I have some OrderSend error 131, but I think is because of my level of SL.

Now, it's time for me to understand the modification and to do a lot of backtest with different settings.

Thanks again :)

Hi again,

I have test the new code but I see differents problems which I don't understand.

First of all, I have only buy trade and no sell trade, but when I check on the graphe, sell trade have to be taken by the EA...

An other thing is the stop of the buy trade. For exemple, as you can see on the screenshot, their are no reason to close this following trade.

Trade #1

// the Candle 0 cross the Moving Average

// RSI is upper than 25

// candle 0 is upper than Candle 0

A few candle later, the trade closed but nothing justified that.

// RSI is upper than 48

// candle is more and more high

Trade #2 - Trade just after the closing of the #1

Trade closed one candle later with no reason.

Some trade are also opened and closed in the same candle.

Someone can help me please ?

Thanks in advance :)

This is false

for (i = OrdersTotal() - 1; i < OrdersTotal(); i++) {
                if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES) == false) {
                        break; // exit the cycle 
                }
                NumPos++;
        }

should be :

for (i = 0; i < OrdersTotal(); i++)

And a "continue" instead of a "break"

        double SL_Buy = NormalizeDouble(Bid- StopLoss * Point, Digits);
        double TP_Buy = NormalizeDouble(Bid+ TakeProfit * Point, Digits);
        double SL_Sell = NormalizeDouble(Ask + StopLoss * Point, Digits);
        double TP_Sell = NormalizeDouble(Ask - TakeProfit * Point, Digits);
