Help with Visual Order Editor

Hayseed worked his magic again and here is the modified visual order editor with partial TP.
He send it to me over PM so I would like to share it with the rest of you.
Thanks again man!


EDIT: I removed the EA since I was too happy and posted it earlier that I should. Hay will put some finishing touches and if he gives me permission, I will post again.
Kostas,

I would like to know how I can obtain the final Hayseed version of this EA. It looks like a great solution to many money management methods and I wanted to give it a spin. Was it ever posted on the Choros thread?

+1. I was looking for similar EA. The MM strategy can be saved in the settings file, I would also love to see the final version. Please post it...

you may find, if IBFX is like my broker, that when you close a partial order the broker changes the order number on you. You need to check the comment feild of the orders to find the new order number so it can close that part later.

The comment on the old order will state the new number and the new order will state the old number. so you need to cross referance the comment fields of closed verses open orders to find the new order number.

I beleive when you close a partial order the broker actually closes the compleate order and reopens a new order for the remaining lots.

hey kostas.... ok.... got it fixed....

but......

first, no two of us code alike....... luktom has done an excellent job when it comes to ingenuity and i'm sure that his code is clear to him..... and it's clear to us.....


however, it's not at all how i would have coded it..... deeply nested if statements and clutering the start function is not my style.... nor is long repetitive code that can be reduced to a single line....



//--- some important questions......

second, what are the steps to take when using this........

hey cc.... yes ibfx does something similar which is quite handy.... they change the original orders comment to reflect the new orders ticket number.... as in, "to #44575675" .... the new tickets comment will be reflect the original orders ticket number..... as in, "from #44575671"..... if the original order is totally closed out prior to the partial close trigger, the original comment stays intact......

so when CountComment(string comment) == 0, the ea knows the first step has closed and to look for the remaining.....

btw, have much enjoyed your posts and work on many forums for many years..... thanks.....h

hey rd..... Łukasz Tomaszkiewicz is the orignal writer..... his version should work.....

all i did was take his idea and code it in my manner for kostas..... never got around to puting in the proper safety precautions needed when something is made public.....h

Hayseed,

Thanks for the reply; I used the version you are referring to all last week on demo and am happy with it's performance. I used to use Steve Hopewood's trade management EA but, it is far too complex for this simple strategy. Simple is always better.

most people dont like me, hell I can hardly look at myself in the mirror to shave in the moring.

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't know I was messing up here. Will have to do something to change that.

Guys, I agree with Hay. I ended up using the original editor:

Guys, I agree with Hay. I ended up using the original editor:
I'll try the one you've uploaded. So far the one i have from the original programmers site does not work. Well it works for SL and TP but not the close partial settings. And once its loaded I can't even open its properties to tweak settings.

The script is even worse, again if you just turn on sl and tp it works, add any other settings and it won't do anything but sit there. So the script vs is out the door.

Thx again though.

hey tom..... will make the needed safety changes and upload my version if time permits.....

one thing to keep in mind is ea's can fight each other for order control..... if your using one and only one ea, there should be no problem..... but if several ea's have order modify capability it can result in a never ending switch back and forth of the order values.....

a rough idea is if one ea sets stoploss and profit targets at 500 pips but the visual order ea set's it at a particular line and a third sets it using the average price of several orders and a fourth ea runs a trailing stop.... unless special provisions are coded into all ea's , they can wreak havoc....

additionally, if the visual order ea is placed on multiple eurusd charts it can cause problems unless properly coded.....


there are several more concerns that must be cared for..... the obscure types of concerns that few would ever know could exist.....h

I'm not using any EA's

Just trying to take 50 pips off the table go to BE and let the rest ride to second TP 100pip and go home. I'm not greedy
If you can post or PM me I'd appreciate it.
Much respect,

Hello

I am hoping someone can help me with the setting of this luktom visual order editor EA
See image below
My broker is 5 digits

Stop loss = 25 pips
take profit = 20 pips

I would like to be able to trade one lot and have the EA take 50% profit at 20 pips and then move the stop to break even and have the second half go for 40 pips

Can someone please tell me what settings I need to set?

Many thanks!

thanks!

Do I need to have anything in where it says cp_lots?

The manual says
cp_lots - number of lots to close after reaching cp_level

my goal is to have 50% profit taken at 20 pips and 50% profit taken at 40 pips

You had it correctly on the first image which is why I didn't mention it. (i.e. 0.5)

Hi everyone

I was looking for an EA that opens a buy or sell trade trade immediately that price action touches or penetrates a SMA or EMA. I found a very nice EA called "price cross MA" (I've attached it) but it does not open a trade immediately when price line touches the moving average. Nor can you set it to either open a sell trade or a buy trade (depending whether you are expecting price to "bounce" off or whether you expect it to penetrate through). Does anyone perhaps know how to edit it to do those things?

THANKS SO MUCH IF ANYONE CAN HELP!!!

Jerry
