How do I use a piece of code to tie a trawl, breakeven to a stop loss and take out? - MQL4 and MetaTrader 4

Shniperson:

Hello! The fact that EAs with a large amount of code and operations are a bit slow... we've already figured that out... Here's a question...

My Expert Advisor has a large block for maintaining trades... If this block is moved to a separate EA (and removed from the first one), I will have two EAs simultaneously... Will it make them work faster? Will it make decisions about deals faster... and will it make decisions about stop loss faster?

I think it's not about making a decision about trailing stop-loss, but about the speed of order execution by the broker. It's one thing to make a decision and another thing to have it executed.

Thank you HUGE! Turns out I should have set up a list separator in the regional settings!!!!

I've been puzzling over the code for 2 days now!

You don't need to touch the regional settings! There is a delimiter setting in Excel.

Can you tell me please! How do I write the difference in MACD variables in pips? For example:

if ( MACDCurrent-MACDSignal)>5*Point   // ??

Could you please tell me the Convertor to non-standard TF, because the search doesn't work! Thank you!

Thanks! But I'm looking for a converter on which the EA could work!

I remember a thread talking about this, and what's in CodeBase.

I wanted to put a piece of code somewhere. Yeah, yeah, the "by strategy" thing.

afterwards.

when there will be a window with a suprastat chart. and on the source will be crunching the script....

Run the induks and owl on it (on the window/graph blyn!) - everything works!

;)

Shniperson 2011.09.27 21:14 #2179

Can you suggest an "advisor" or script ... which would be displayed in large numbers how many points and money loss / profit the current (open) transaction and what the balance ... and something I can not find .

From theory to practice [Archive!] Any rookie question, [WARNING CLOSED!] Any newbie

That's all, thank you!

Found it, added the right lines to the code and inlude, took it offline, went commenting. And trade tomorrow will try.

Too bad, that it is impossible to check parameters in tester, I will have to use Demo for a while.

Good night!
