Hello fellow FF Members:
The Firebird EA that is attached is one of the latest versions from a thread called, "Semi-Automatic Driven EA," from FF dated around 2009. I need help as the "trendline function to close a trade" is not working. Others have also posted it is not working.
How this EA works:
1. User draws trendline along current trend and labels it "UpTrend_Close_Alert_" or "DownTrend_Close_Alert". This is the command for the trendline closing all trades once price action goes through it.
2. User sets trade direction in EA tab to go in the direction of the trend. (Long or Short)
3. EA places trades in set direction only by a certain number of pips (Pipstep).
4. When the trend changes and goes the opposite direction, the EA trendline is supposed to close out all open trades once price action goes through the trendline. This is the function that is not working.
E-mails sent to the coder(s) who worked on it have not been replied to, and their most recent activity on the FF website is from 2009 when the thread died out, so maybe they aren't frequenting the forums anymore.
I'm wondering if someone can help out here. The rest of the EA runs beautifully. Until now, I have had to watch for when the trend changes, and manually drive the direction of trades long or short. It would be nice to check it every few hours and have peace of mind knowing my trades and equity balance are safe, much like the first coder intended. If this last piece can be "fixed", then I think this could be a successful trading tool. (with lots of testing, of course...)
I would be most grateful...
(This version has been modified to be able to work on ECN/STP brokers. Also, I am not a coder, so I am asking for someone who has the time to go in and actually change the code for me. Thanks!)
Thanks!
