help! EA on 2 digit currencies not using trailing stop

Help...Have ea not using trailing stop on 2 digit currency/. Been fighting with it for very long time.. anyone with suggestions would be appreciated.. It basically moves my stop loss to zero ....but does not trail on the yen pairs with 2 digits? I also see this on my breakeven slide from swiss army ea... any suggestions would be very helpful.


void TrailOrder(int type)
{
if(TrailingStop>0)
{
if(OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber)
{
if(type==OP_BUY)
{
if(Bid-OrderOpenPrice()>Point*TrailingStop)
{
if(OrderStopLoss()<Bid-Point*TrailingStop)
{
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-(Point*TrailingStop),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Green);
}
}
}
if(type==OP_SELL)
{
if((OrderOpenPrice()-Ask)>(Point*TrailingStop))
{
if((OrderStopLoss()>(Ask+Point*TrailingStop)) || (OrderStopLoss()==0))
{
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+(Point*TrailingStop),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);
}
}
}
}
}
}

Did you purposely add spaces to make some of the variable names incomplete?

no .. will that do it? How do you take that out or test?
what are your suggestions to fix? Even breakeven slide does the same thing on yen currencies. Not sure how in the heck to make this work right. Its seems the more I touch it.. the less I can get out of it. I appreciate any response as I have been fightin this issue for a long time.


void TrailOrder(int type)
{

for(int cnt=0;cnt<OrdersTotal();cnt++)
{
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if (BreakEvenAt>0 && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber)
{
if (OrderType()==OP_BUY)
{
if (MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_BID)-OrderOpenPrice()>=Point*BreakEvenAt)
{
if (OrderStopLoss()<OrderOpenPrice() + BreakEvenSlide*Point)
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),OrderOpenPrice() + BreakEvenSlide*Point,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Green);
}
}
else if (OrderType()==OP_SELL)
{
if (OrderOpenPrice()-MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_ASK)>=Point*BreakEvenAt)
{
if (OrderStopLoss()>OrderOpenPrice() - BreakEvenSlide*Point)
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),OrderOpenPrice() - BreakEvenSlide*Point,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);
}
}
}
}
}

I'm wondering if OrdersTotal() keeps changing. Set OrdersTotal() equal to a variable and then use the variable in your count.

Hi Ronald,

I'm looking for an expectional EA coder to program a statistical arbitrage technique. It involves two accounts, each with an EA. The two each need to be able to send & receive information from each other.

Thanks,

Walt

P.S. I'm willing to pay for your services...

you may be right.However, I have another section that uses a close sell position and a time based close. is it possible that "time based close" is "holding it up? ...I am wondering because the orders total has a "total" already defined so it should not have any problems.
(The time based close based on bars was working... now its sort of messed up. ) I am not entirely sure how to set this as a variable as it comes back as a global variable.
I am not sure but I think I answered my own question....Should I be trailing the order before using the close condition?
......



total = OrdersTotal();

if(total < 1 || isNewSymbol(Symbol()))
{
if(BuyCondition) //<-- BUY condition
{
ticket = OpenOrder(OP_BUY); //<-- Open BUY order
CheckError(ticket,"BUY");
}
if(SellCondition) //<-- SELL condition
{
ticket = OpenOrder(OP_SELL); //<-- Open SELL order
CheckError(ticket,"SELL");
}
return(0);
}

for(cnt=0;cnt<total;cnt++)
{
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if(OrderType()<=OP_SELL && OrderSymbol()==Symbol())
{
if(OrderType()==OP_BUY) //<-- Long position is opened
{
if(UseClose)
{
if(CloseBuyCondition&& OrderProfit () >= Profit_point2||OrderProfit () <= PP2 && OrderProfit () >= PP1 && TimeCurrent()- OrderOpenTime() > (Period() * 60 * 7)) //<-- Close the order and exit!
{
CloseOrder(OrderType()); return(0);
}
}

TrailOrder(OrderType()); return(0); //<-- Trailling the order
}
if(OrderType()==OP_SELL) //<-- Go to short position
{
if(UseClose)
{
if(CloseSellCondition&& OrderProfit () >= Profit_point2||OrderProfit () <= PP2 && OrderProfit () >= PP1 && TimeCurrent()- OrderOpenTime() > (Period() * 60 * 7)) //<-- Close the order and exit!
{
CloseOrder(OP_SELL); return(0);
}
}

TrailOrder(OrderType()); return(0); //<-- Trailling the order
}
}
}

return(0);
}
