code... — okay... enough trying arround... i was close, but then i fu**ed it all up again... i mean, i learned quite a lot on the way, but im almost out of ideas how to fix it... even took a look at global variables, but i dont see no way how ...

yes, ur right... ill post some code... im just afraid i have to get it in shape first so that its better readable than now (one of my bad habits not to use proper names for variables and comments...)

round 2... — alright, same indicator, new problem... help most appreciated i changed a few things: all the values(BarOpenTime and DrawDown) now go into one file... it works to save them... i can load them in init, as in i can display them ...

---finished--- — okay, solved it... can read string from file, trim and convert to int or double... now that i know how it works id say its easy...

hi piccolo, thanks for ur reply... actually ive been thinking about global variables... and if remember correctly they do not get saved forever... apart from that im not sure if the value in the variable would get saved in case of mt4 crash... ...

jan 14th and 15th — look at the chart: yes, that really hurts. thats how it looks when i crash my demo account. havent had the time yet to fill in all the number into my xls sheets, but it should be about 2/3 of the account gone. ouch.... how ...

jan 13th — theres not as many blocks closing as usually, trading is not as good as f.e. on jan 9th, but as long as drawdown is low im happy with every trade getting closed.

jan 12th — the end of jan 9th, where everything goes really smooth, and the beginning of a new week on jan 12th where trading starts off not too bad. the last trade you can see here, although it contains 2 changes of direction, is quite okay ...

hedge — hi gbart, ive been thinking about this recently and ive spent hours and hours looking arround for a decent broker that would offer MT4, since its essential to me, with eur accounts and reasonable spread and would be tolerant towards ...

jan 9th — its a small small hedge in a market that was undecided the last few hours... when you look at this chart and at the last one, you could get a feel for how a direction change should look like, how smooth it can actually work out...

jan 8th — jan 7th was a great day and today is looking fantastic as well... i mean, look at the chart yourself: since the last screen shot yesterday that is 6 orderblocks long that got closed, 9 short and then again 5 long... making a total of ...

laser quests haha... they are line to show me that all open orders got closed at that time... i coded them this way coz it got to messy trying to display opening and closing of orders by arrows(dots, symbols) so, its quite useful if you have ...

thanks, great to hear that

jan 7th — one bad signal, one more, doubling up and doubling up again leads to a situation where i would need a decent move in order to close with profits. actually i notice that what im doing works best whenever there is no change in ...

jan 5th — market moves further south, several positions got closed. everything is working fine...

it seems codobro already solved the mystery what the different variables mean/do.

jan 5th — the horrible trade found an end, finally. as soon as there was some move the trade got closed But im not sure how much space would have been to move up, not mentioning the case of one more direction change and doubling up. well, ...

jan 2nd — watch that?! see, thats what a range looks like SAR really is not built for this... changed direction, so now im short again. and guess what, volume is kinda high by now drawdown was exploring the region above 20... to reach ...

jan 2nd — changing direction to long... hedging all open shorts and doubling up on longs, but price seems to form another top here... drawdown is up to 9%... on a live account that would be close to my 10% cutoff limit...
