Stealth Trading Scripts

Hi,

I can decompile the ex4 file and reder it mq4. But does the owner mind? Placing alarms is not that difficult if you look into the code and compare it to other indi's or ea's code...

i am sure that you could do it quite easely...


Cheers,

Ramy

thx again

Hi Ramy,
I'm still learning how to add alert...all the ones I've done so far, never work!
As foe decompiling...thats rocket stuff to me.
Thanks for the reply, appreciate it.

Often when I attach the Trailing Lines Stop to my chart, it immediately closes the trade. I trade with a 5 digit platform and I thought that might have some effect but it does this randomly. One time it will work on a pair and next time it will automatically close the trade on the same pair the instant it is attached and vice-versa. I can see this would be a fantastic tool if it would work properly. Does anyone have a remedy for this?

You know, I also use a 5-digit platform (FXCM via MT4), and the same thing happens to me. I'm working through the code but don't see any place I could change/improve it. Anyone else have any thoughts? =Ed=

Not sure if it is connected in any way, but all my scripts have ceased working with FXCM!

Very interesting. I've been running some very simple scripts to BUY or SELL instantly on FXCM, but none of the scripts in this thread will run on it at all. You've got me wondering now....

Me too. BUY/SELL by script, & use an EA to manage the trade.
I'll contact FXCM & find out why.
If I'm unable to trade with scripts, I'll go elsewhere.

Great. I'll wait to hear what you find out.

Cheers,
Ed

Here you go... I think the term is 'Playing games'

Ugh. Just what we thought. I visited their site, and it's really not that good. I found an e-trailing script that works pretty good, but it's not perfect (heck... what is?).

Your position has to be in a profitable condition before anything happens when you run this script, but once it runs, it sets a trailing stop. Now does it actually move up as price moves up? I haven't yet seen it do that, so I'm doing some extensive testing of it to see why not, but if you run it r4epeatedly, it does advance the trail. I guess right now it's simply a 'faster way' to adjust a stop. Here's the code:

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// e-Trailing.mq4
//------------------------------------------------------------------
#property copyright " "
#property link " "

extern bool ProfitTrailing = True;
extern int TrailingStop = 25;
extern int TrailingStep = 2;
extern bool UseSound = True;
extern string NameFileSound = "expert.wav";

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// start()
//------------------------------------------------------------------
void start() {
for (int i=0; i<OrdersTotal(); i++) {
if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)) {
TrailingPositions();
}
}
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// TrailingPositions()
//------------------------------------------------------------------
void TrailingPositions() {
double pBid, pAsk, pp;

pp = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_POINT);

if (OrderType()==OP_BUY) {
pBid = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_BID);
if (!ProfitTrailing || (pBid-OrderOpenPrice())>TrailingStop*pp) {
if (OrderStopLoss()<pBid-(TrailingStop+TrailingStep-1)*pp) {
ModifyStopLoss(pBid-TrailingStop*pp);
return;
}
}
}

if (OrderType()==OP_SELL) {
pAsk = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_ASK);
if (!ProfitTrailing || OrderOpenPrice()-pAsk>TrailingStop*pp) {
if (OrderStopLoss()>pAsk+(TrailingStop+TrailingStep-1)*pp || OrderStopLoss()==0) {
ModifyStopLoss(pAsk+TrailingStop*pp);
return;
}
}
}
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// ModifyStopLoss()
//------------------------------------------------------------------
void ModifyStopLoss(double ldStopLoss) {
bool fm;
fm=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),ldStopLoss,OrderTakeProfit(),0,CLR_NONE);
if (fm && UseSound) PlaySound(NameFileSound);
}

//-------------------End of script----------------------------------

I emailed their support people last night...no reply at presesnt.
I use...did use..a script for long entries, and one for shorts.
Then let the trade manager take over.
The manager EA still works, I have to find another way of getting in.
Looking at renting a VPS, & see if that gives faster entries.
They also claim 'no requotes' but that too appears to be a nono.
Are there any honest brokers out there!

Hi, I've had the same problem. Script to place market buy/sell orders with a stop loss and take profit value, which work perfectly well on my Alpari UK account, were not working on ODL (UK).

ODL advised that it has recently changed to ECN operation, and as a result only buy or sell market orders (with no attached stop loss or take profit) can be executed. (Apparently, because the price can move so quickly with ECN system.)

You have to modify the trade, after it's executed, to add a stop loss or take profit value. Not very convenient or fast, is it?

Anyway, I thought this might help you guys to get to the bottom of your problems. Hope so.

I would also recommend contacting FXCM programming services [email protected]

They may be able to help with troubleshooting directly with you rather than through the forums.
