Need a small EA modification

Hello programmers out there!

Looking for someone to add one extra input function to the attached EA. I'm looking simply to add a price option input so that I can turn the EA on, but only have it begin to place orders at a predetermined start price. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do this, so I need some help?

The original EA was written by Forexflash in his thread " 100% Win Math Grid Ea" and in the post below, he has given his blessing for me to seek out assistance.

Feel free to PM, email or post here.

Thanks,
Jim

I made the mod for you, use the Bid price as your entry price.

Hi Trk,
Thanks for your efforts. Wondering if you tried to test this mod yourself? I tried to run it with a bid price of 1.3200 on the E/U this morning and it never placed any trade orders as it hit that price and went down into the 1.3100's? I even left it on after that and price has since bounced back up to 1.3200, yet still nothing?

Thoughts?

Yip, I tested it on my demo account and set the trigger price according to the bid...

eg. If the price was 1.3400 and I wanted it to trigger the pending orders at 1.3405, I used the bid price and put in 1.3403.

It worked a charm.

Ill check it again and make sure but it worked the 4 times I tested it.
Will let you know.

cheers

I just tried it and it works fine.(have a look at the chart)

I set it to trigger at 1.3167 and it triggered fine. there was about a 1-2 second delay in the placing of the orders but they were placed perfectly.

Not sure why yours didnt trigger.

Tell me if this makes sense? I don't happen to use the default settings for lot size, increments, and levels as forexflash had authored (and that I think you used in testing), so for some reason I could not get it to work by making the input changes when trying to attach to the chart, I had to modify the EA in editor and make the default settings my own............now it works. On both my demo and live accounts.

Is that strange to you?

I've had 3 E/U charts open all nite and pegging moves from "00" to "00". Each chart has the EA set to start on the next price ending "00" and ready on the other open charts to open a new set of orders on the next 100 after the first set of trades is scheduled to closed (because I only use 2 levels at 33 pip increments).

So, whatever, I did, it IS working like a charm!!

Thanks TRK,
Jim

having to mod it like that internally does not really make sense to me as I imagine the externals are coded correctly (Ididnt really examine them). I must congratulate you however for thinking outside the box and solving your problem...well done, and congrats on your trades!!
