I openly admit I do not understand code, so pardon me for my ignorance.

I can see how this suggestion to change "null" to "symbol" might relate to which currency pair the ATR refers to, but what is the meaning of changing the "0" to "60"? Does the "60" specify a timeframe, such as 60 minutes regardless of the timeframe of the chart the EA is loaded on? And if so, does the 0" refer to the timeframe of the chart the EA is loaded on?

both assumptions are correct.

Jayper,

I tried changing only "NULL" to "symbol" as follows:

double AtrVal = iATR(Symbol, 0, AtrPeriod, 0);//Take account of user choosing this option

but I get a compiling error that a left parenthesis is expected in the line of code above. Any thoughts as to where the additional left parenthesis should go?

I just had a quick look at what I think is Steve's latest posting for his 2 MA MACD combo ea.
I would put in Symbol() instead of just Symbol.
Cause I couldnt see Symbol defined anywhere else in the ea.

Totally agree about the tf Steve,

but what about "symbol" instead of "NULL"? Or do you really want to use the ATR from GbpJpy also for EurUsd, EurGbp and so on?

for(cc = 0; cc < ArraySize(TradePair); cc++)
{
    symbol = TradePair[cc];//Simplifies typing
    double ask = MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_ASK);
    double bid = MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_BID);
    double digits = MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_DIGITS);
    double point = MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_POINT);

    //Then follows the code that does the work using the info gained above

}//for(cc = 0; cc < ArraySize(TradePair); cc++)

Done now.

Set CloseLosingTradesAfterMins to something silly like 1000000 to disable this function.

Hey guys,

For any of you who are trading the 5-minute momo multi-pair, have you had any orders (market or pending) during the US session?

I just began testing the EA yesterday. I used the one that Steve had posted in post #1, which was apparently tied to only the currency on the chart, as it traded GBPJPY only since yesterday afternoon (US time) -- and it did very well at that. Prior to the US session I saw that Steve had posted an update to the EA, so I loaded it up on a GBPJPY chart, as recommended. But I've yet to get even a pending order for...

I had a feeling. Thanks for letting me know. Are you using the new update of the EA on post #1 or an earlier version? Any other settings changes of note?
