Exit for Martingale EA ?

Hi,

iam trying to create another matringale ea ( no comments http://www.sparkimg.com/emoticons/biggrin.gif )
I need help from a coder please.

If there are different trades with different lotsize open and the profit is reached the EA should close all the trades. nothing special

But i wished the EA closed the trades by lotsize because if i lost 1 pip on on 0.1 lot isnt the same if i lost 1 Pip by 1.0 lots... ok ok 1 pip is 1 pip
So the EA should close the biggest Lotsize first and then the smaller lotsizes

Could anyone give my a code snippet with similiar things ?

Could you help me with the following:

-Put all open trades into an array with ticketnumber and lotsize
-sort the array by lotsize
-use this array to close all open trades by ticketnumber

Many thanks for your help and Sorry for my english

Hello,
I am wondering if this is a currently happening issue or just a projected possible issue? I am asking since i have never had a issue with an EA taking too long of a time to close a position.

Otherwise, this is what i have so far for you, i got stuck with the sorting of the array. I know there is an ArraySort() funtion which would sort according to numeric value, but i do not know if you can sort a multidimensional array. It would be necassarry since we would have to have an array which would hold both the ticket number associated with its lot size... (ArrayOrders[ticketnumeber][lotsize]) in order to work. the sort below i know is how i have sorted in the past, but i have to get back to work, maybe someone else can figure the rest for you or maybe this is enough to get you started.

Good Luck!


int totalOrders = CalculateCurrentOrders();
double orderedPositions[totalOrders];


int CalculateCurrentOrders(string symbol)
{
int tempOrders;
//----
for(int i=0;i<OrdersTotal();i++)
{
if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)==false) break;
if(OrderType()==OP_BUY) tempOrders++;
if(OrderType()==OP_SELL) tempOrders++;

}
//---- return orders volume

return(tempOrders);
}


int init()
{ double tempOne;
double tempTwo;
double tempNew;
if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)=true)
{
tempNew = OrderLots();
if( tempNew > orderedPositions[0]){
tempTwo =orderedPositions[0];
orderedPosition[0] = tempNew;}

This will do what you want. Its a blunt instrument, meaning no error handling. Enter your desired equity TakeProfit and make sure all your trades in the basket share the same MagicNumber.

You will run into fifo-problems with some brokers.

How about calculating the exact price level where to close all trades in advance and then immediately set this as takeprofit to all open trades? you can calculate the break-even price by simply calculating the average position and you can use the tickvalue from MarketInfo() and the total open lot size to determine the needed price move to reach a certain profit goal.

Takeprofit is the fastest and most precise method for closing all your trades at once and you won't have any slippage at all and it will even work when the the connection to your broker becomes unreliable (missing ticks, gaps) or even entirely disconnects during very volatile times.

When you’re choosing a broker, finding one that suits you schedule is key. If they are offering you signals when you are sleeping or at work, away from your computer, they may as well be sending you messages in code, as they are useless.
