I had a line of code wrong above it (a false instead of a true in the orderselect because I forgot to adjust after a logic change)... after that, it seems to work correctly and close trades out that have hung for 20 hours even in the strategy ...

That isn't working.... { int numberOfOrders = OrdersTotal(); if (numberOfOrders > 0) { for (int cnt=OrdersTotal()-1; cnt >= 0; cnt--) { if(OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)==false) {if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == ...

So, if I was wanting to close a trade after 20 hours, I can do something like this? if(TimeCurrent()-OrderOpenTime()>72000) then close trade

Right now, I am having no problems with 2009 at all... good results, minimal drawdown (5-6%).... Problems show up in 2008... see my post above... The problem I am having is that when I click "Open Chart" after a 2008 strategy test, I am unable to ...

I do have a stop loss strategy... it is based on the price deviating further... I need to do research though on adding to the exit strategy.... I am getting to see some patterns, and will be testing adjustments... there was some strange occurrences ...

Here it is.... I am looking at adding an additional exit strategy, especially for the draw down trades.... it seems that once a trade goes past a few hours it hangs for a long time... that is one option..... could use feedback on those hanging trades

No Friday Trading — Ok, I added a function for No Friday Trading and the results look much better :-)

Probably... they are on page 1

Here is a working version Using EurUsd, it won 79 of 80 for me on the 1 min chart for Jan and Feb... there is one hanger that reduces the profits so I am thinking about adding a stop loss or an MA cross stop for something like that... I will do some ...

Thanks, I will give that a review as well as correct the error I found in the line4buy section in a couple of hours or so

I found one error in my line4buy code... I will correct it when I get back and see if that is the problem... or just a side problem

Because I am very new to this programming language.... obviously, I am not a programmer by trade, but I have been able to create some complex things with VBA/Excel.... it is a much simpler language though... I am more of an Analyst by trade

Sahron, If you take a closer look in the results, those that are hanging are being modified multiple times instead of just once right when the order is placed. It is this flaw in my code that I need to figure out how to fix. It should never be able ...

Fixed the hanging.... it is opening and closing trades now in strategy tester.... however, it is modifying trades more than once.... can someone please tell me what is causing that with the logic? If the linetrades<1 then it should never enter into ...

Here is the updated file... it is still hanging from the returns.... I added them in there where I thought it would end the check, but it apparently is not correct

Thanks Magnum! Randomizer working correctly now Thus, it all works correctly, except I think I need some returns in there... I didn't have to use returns in VBA... I would just use "End Sub" I think it is the returns problem that is hanging it up in ...
