As I want my order to close based upon something like "If( BarClose 1 > BarClose 0)"  for longs, how can I write the section so that it WAITS for "Bar 0" above to close BEFORE checking the comparison?  For a visual example:   In this example above, because Bar 1 Close was GREATER than Bar 2 close,...

Hey guys,   Just wondering if you can offer some insight. I've looked around for answer but have come up short. I have a few different news trading EA's that straddle the current price with stop orders above and below it at a certain time before a news release. Works good, only problem is, once the...

I'm trying to modify buy and sell orders, but having a problem.  When I'm trying to modify a buy, my code is modifying the buy, not only by the code that I have for modifying buys, but also by the code that I have for modifying a sell.  Which causes my TP to decrease rather than to increase.  Not...

Greetings gentlemen! Just recently started getting into robotics. The systems are unpretentious, but have some logical basis (if increased by so much %, then buy, etc. - price action can be said). There is no sense in giving codes. I don't use indicators at all due to my conviction in their

EUR/USD and daily charts only.  Backtests really well but uses a large stoploss all the time, I would like help to reduce the risk on trades.  Any suggestions welcome. //+------------------------------------------------------------------+//|...

Hi, after I realized a problem of the way mt4 is painting a second indicator in the same indicator sub-window: If you apply the ATR-14 at the chart (extra sub-window) and you pull this ATR again from the Navigator in this window and define a 7-Period, you will experience that e.g. the ATR-7 is...
