I am newbie and have follow this site for period with good articles, then have started self learning for a while and done exercise my own EA (pull pieces from everywhere in here), following are the conditions that I expected the EA to work;
(1) This is reverse signal EA that will close all open orders, after successfully closing all order then send new opposite side order, i.e., from close SHORT and open LONG, or vice versa.
(2) There are options to open lots by assigning lot on EA setting or base on risk percentage when turn "MoneyManagement" to true,
(3) The EA can partial close the lots ans left last partial lot remaining, which can be as assigned in EA setting or tell the EA to equal scale out (left last equal split remaining), the last remaining partial lot then will be close when there is reversal signal, then go back to step 1 again.

I have compiled and passed with no error, but when I tested it in Strategy Tester, there is no activity produced from the EA. May be the logic is wrong somewhere? or any mistake, thank you for your advise from you all gurus. hope solution for this can be benefit to others...

Thanks,
Tutor539

use print to see if your making it to that part of code

Print("test");

move it around to see that your making it there, you can have it then print variouse variables to see your values, its a trial n error

to be self teaching your self, looks like youve come far already, im sure youl figure it out in no time

hi tutor,

your EA contains many logic error. it doesn't have syntax error, thats why it passes when you compiled. one of them that i could spot is this:
Quote
int fastMA_Now = iMA(NULL,0,13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0),
fastMA_Previous = iMA(NULL,0,13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,1),
slowMA_Now = iMA(NULL,0,13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0),
slowMA_Previous = iMA(NULL,0,13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,1);
if(fastMA_Now>slowMA_Now) signalMode = OP_BUY;
else
if(fastMA_Now<slowMA_Now) signalMode = OP_SELL;
1. you should use double instead of int
2. fastMA and slowMA should have different period(13 and 21?). that's why ea seems to do nothing. it doesn't open trade, nor give error messages, because it can't get any signal (signalMode)

fix this and run ea, see on journal tabs. well, there will be ordersend error. at least now your ea has did something. there are many function needed to be fixed, ie, lot size calculation, stoploss calculation

hope this help
