I guess it is. Told you - I'm a dummie, I'm a dummie... The profit in the upper line is shown in pips, only in 3-digits:
As far as I understood, PipProfit = USDprofit/lot/Point for EURUSD. For pairs with a reverse quote, we need to take the difference of the opening price and the current price and multiply by Digits: Pips = OrderOpenPrice()-Bid*Digits_coefficient; where
Digits_coefficient = MathPow(10,Digits);
You don't have to take the difference, there's the OrderProfit() function.
Let's go over it again to get it stuck in your brain. So, let's buy GBPJPY.
1. OrderProfit() equals -15.27 USD = -1228.32 JPY (for conversion to yen, multiply by USDJPY rate).
2. Dividing the profit by the lot, equal to 0.1.
3. We divide the result by the price of 1 pip of 1 lot, equal to 0.01 JPY * 100000 = 1000 JPY. We obtain -12.28 points, i.e. as it is necessary.
This is a subtle error, as the figures are not taken at one and the same moment in time, but the Yen is strengthening sharply.
Formula for XXXYYY:
pips = ( USDYYY or 1/YYYUSD ) * OrderProfit() / ( OrderLots( ) * Point ).
Here Point is the point price of 1 lot in YYYY currency, equal to 100000 * MathPow( 10, - Digits ).
Good afternoon.
What could be the reasons why the EA is not optimised?
There is one optimised parameter, indicators are standard.
The test is running normally.
Can you give me a hint?
The script closes overlapping orders... But there is a catch - for some reason it does not close orders with different lot size...
Can you tell us where the problem is?
First, replace the direction of check with
for(int i=1; i<=OrdersTotal(); i++) // loop the order
at
for(int i=OrdersTotal() - 1; i>=0; i--) // Order loop
everywhere
Why do some EAs work well in the tester first and then do not open a single trade? I do not remember the names of the EAs, but I had three of them, maybe I am doing something wrong? mt4
Well, for starters, replace the check direction with
for(int i=1; i<=OrdersTotal(); i++) // Order loop
at
for(int i=OrdersTotal() - 1; i>=0; i++) // Order loop
everywhere
Withdrawn, as the script was extremely incorrect... A lot to do... I wanted it to overlap the trades to zero... but it just overlapped... Thanks a lot for your help... ...when I do the zero overlap, I'll post it for questions.
Mathemat, if you only need the number of pips in profit/loss you can calculate in an even simpler way, I was just asleep yesterday when I wrote it )))
They seem to be universal formulas, suitable for all currency pairs:
.
Gentlemen, please help.
I need a function that checks if the price has touched the wrist during the last X bars?
Please don't kick me too hard, as I'm a complete dummie.
How to rewrite Awesome indicator for 1H only. Suppose I attach Awesome to 4H, I want the indicator to display data related to 1H and not to 4H.
//---- name for DataWindow and indicator subwindow label
IndicatorShortName("AO");
SetIndexLabel(1,NULL);
SetIndexLabel(2,NULL);
ExtBuffer0[i]=iMA(NULL,0,5,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i)-iMA(NULL,0,34,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i);
I change NULL to PeriodH1, but it doesn't help.
