some small questions:
1 what happen or rehappen when time-period of chart changed during runing?
2 ima_handle defined at OnInit(), iMA_handle=iMA("EURUSD",PERIOD_H1,10,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE);
is it possible to change this handle's parameters dynamic by programself like change PERIOD_H1,10 to PERIOD_M15, 39 during runing?
3 what is deal?
Congratulations!
Extremelly simple, well-written code... I think by doing reference to the library, you did in few lines what I did in almost 100 (only to open long and close long positions).
I refer specially to these lines:
if(m_Position.Select(my_symbol)) //if the position for this symbol already exists
{
if(m_Position.PositionType()==POSITION_TYPE_SELL) m_Trade.PositionClose(my_symbol); //and this is a Sell position, then close it
if(m_Position.PositionType()==POSITION_TYPE_BUY) return; //or else, if this is a Buy position, then exit
}
m_Trade.Buy(0.1,my_symbol); //if we got here, it means there is no position; then we open it
}
if(iMA_buf[1]<Close_buf[1] && iMA_buf[0]>Close_buf[0]) //if the indicator values were less than the closing price and became greater
{
if(m_Position.Select(my_symbol)) //if the position for this symbol already exists
{
if(m_Position.PositionType()==POSITION_TYPE_BUY) m_Trade.PositionClose(my_symbol); //and this is a Buy position, then close it
if(m_Position.PositionType()==POSITION_TYPE_SELL) return; //or else, if this is a Sell position, then exit
}
m_Trade.Sell(0.1,my_symbol); //if we got here, it means there is no position; then we open it
}
The only thing I missed may be a command to trade only when a new bar appears. There was a discussion in: www.mql5.com/en/forum/5762
I use the following code, posted there by mogplus8:
static int LastBarCount=0;
if(Bars(_Symbol,_Period)>LastBarCount)
LastBarCount=Bars(_Symbol,_Period);
else
return;
I am somewhat puzzled about your statement about Trades.
The trades presentted in the article is very close to "seals" in artiel http://mqlmagazine.com/leading-article/orders-positions-and-deals-part-i/. Are they the same thing ? what are their differences?
By the way, in the linked page, the author do states: Each order placed in the market is a trade itself, with its own result, independent of the others.
I paste the words here just to clarify the possible misconceptions to those who paid attention to the comments.
thanks you.
