News Alerts EA
Hi, i'd like to add some functionality to prevent a bot entering a trade a certain number of minutes after a big news event. In the line before a trade is placed, I have added a call to a sub routine named BigNewsAlert(); In this section, i'd like to check if any of the last 5 candles have got a
Cycle through a list of symbols within my code
string symbols[] = { "GBPUSD" , "USDJPY" , "GBPJPY" , "GBPCAD" , "UK100" , "Ger40" , "US30" , "US100" , "US500" , "XAUUSD" }; First of all, what i'm trying to achieve is a bot which can run on multiple currency pairs. I've defined an array called symbols[] as per the line above. Then I have this
Draw A Rectangle For A Trading Range that Extends Out Into Future Bars
Good evening forum, Below, I have the start of my code for a London Breakout EA which triggers at 8am (London Start). It calculates the dailyResistance and dailySupport from the Asian Session from 12am - 8am. What I would like to do is draw a rectangle on my chart for this area (12am-8am, High-Low)
