Expert Advisor Builder Help

Hi

Could anyone show me how to code an EA using Expert Advisor Builder to do the following.

The EA must have two inputs BUY Price and SELL Price. I need to be able to type in a price for BUY and SELL and when that price is reached EA must place instant order. Thats it.

I cannot use pending orders as the price is sometimes within 10 pips of the market price. Any help apprciated

Hi FXwealth,

There's not an option (to my knowledge) to interact with an EA using EAB. It's pretty simple code though. you'd just declare a variable in the top section where you see all the lines beginning with "extern", and you add two more like:

extern double BuyInput;
extern double SellInput;

and then use the internal variables "Bid" and "Ask" to compare to the BuyInput and SellInput you defined earlier like:

if (Bid >= BuyInput) Order = SIGNAL_BUY;
if (Ask <= SellInput) Order = SIGNAL_SELL;

one thing that caught me a couple times when I started coding EAs was that you have to tell it to only trade once (or however many times) otherwise as long as the parameters match, it'll try to place a trade again and again.

Good luck! EAs are fun, but you might get hooked on them ;-)
