EA Won't Execute ... any suggestions?

btw,

When is the return (0); supposed to Stop a program from executing?

I'm probably relying upon it to stop the program when it is not capable of doing so.

Hi Pip Parade,

When the return(0) line is read in a "start" function, the program stops (unless the condition to reach that line were not present).

I let the ADX-Long Only version (from post 16) run overnight in 1M chart (in eurjpy with TP=10 and SL=10) and it made two winners!. So, I don't understand what the problem is. In more than 12 hours it made only three total trades in 1M chart, that is more than 720 bars (the first one I closed manually). So, if you use 4H chart, I dont expect more than one trade per week on average (only 30 bars per week).

So, I don't see anything wrong in opening trades. May be you just have to wait more.

The OrderClose part has problem; you cannot use OrderTicket() just like that, you need to have selected an order before using that (because OrderTicket() means ticket number of the selected order).

Hi chandra,

Thank you for sharing your experience and lending your input to this thread. I'll revisit the version in post #16 and perhaps re-build from there ... at least progress is being made and that's a very good thing. Feel free to continue commenting/programming as appropriate for you.

Once the long version is in good shape the plan is to add a short to it as well so that the single EA can camp out on a pair. I started this with a casual look at the history of the 4-hour ADX which I found very intriguing. Here's hoping the Actual trading carries similar results.
