Well different pairs have different dynamics, so saying that EU might suit everyone isn't correct according to me. From a spread perspective it's of course the best, but I trade only gold (which has a much higher spread) and that suits me much ...

Newer traders can't (most likely) understand it I will say, because it takes time and time and time to get to terms with these points. You need experience and you won't get that from any book. No matter how much you read before you start, trading ...

You have to know what kind of person you are, because that will be reflected in your trading - it should be the dominant factor when picking a system to use. Because you have to trust your system 100% otherwise you will fail (meaning you have to ...

Try this

Ok, I see the issue, thanks for pointing it out!

Try this and let me know if it helps

The reason for my post was to show that there's no need to risk the absolute minimum when we've found something that works. I wanted for fun to see what the maximum would be for my profits with a certain edge, and I love math, and that's why I ...

I've read through this thread and it's evolving very fast, can't afford to miss a day with this action. Anyway, I have these thoughts: 1) How was the first open price chosen, since this first one is determining the outlook and look of the range bars ...

Try this: int start() { // Assign variable names double MAX20, MIN20; int i; // Program i = Bars - 1; while (i>=0) { // Determine highest value MAX20 = High[iHighest(NULL, 0, MODE_HIGH, Max_Bars, i)]; // Determine lowest value MIN20 = ...

Of course, I didn't understand that we only enter at TP1. Tnx!

I'm a bit confused as my calculations leads me elsewhere... If you do what nhct wrote, then out of 100 trades you'd get this: 1) 41 trades hits stoploss @ -22 2) Out of the remaining 59 trades: a) 15 trades will hit stoploss @ -32 b) 44 trades will ...

Do you only have 1 position at a time? In that case use OrdersTotal(). If it's > 0 then you have a position running, otherwise you're flat. If OrdersTotal() > 0, do a OrderSelect(0, SELECT_BY_POS) and then do your switch(OrderType()).

Here it is. Enjoy

Glad I could help

Haven't looked at your code but this is how I've done it: findFractal gives the price of the fractal depending on up/down fractal, timeframe and how many fractals back you want to look at (given by nbr, where nbr = 0 gives the last fractal): double ...

The fractal appears in shift 2, but is confirmed only when 2 bars after the fractal has closed which is why I use shift 3 If you want to exit a trade when a fractal appears 2 shifts away, you need to check that there is a fractal on shift 2. I ...

This will give you the barshift (i for up-fractal and j for down-fractal) and the price of the fractal (upFractal and downFractal) to the most recent up or down fractal: int i = 3, j = 3 , timeframe = *your choice*; ...

if( (open[1] - close[1]) >= 100*Point ) myOrderType = 1; //bearish if( (close[1] - open[1]) >= 100*Point ) myOrderType = 2; //bullish

This might do the job int pipsInProfit = 5; //or whatever you would like it to be if(OrderType() == OP_BUY && (Bid - OrderOpenPrice()) >= pipsInProfit*Point) Order = SIGNAL_CLOSEBUY; if(OrderType() == OP_SELL && (OrderOpenPrice() - Ask) >= ...
