EA to email new orders... like a signal EA

Any thoughts about how to implement partial closes in this?

Right now it only reports the full closure correctly or only the last portion of the order.

e.g. I sell 30 lots, then I take off half at 20 pips and set stop to breakeven +1. The 20 pip close and that profit isn't reported. Then price moves back to breakeven and the order is reported closed for 1 pip with 15 lots with the profit for 15 lots that were still open.

Any thoughts?

It's quite confusing to see a sell for 30 and then a close of 15. Makes me think that there are 15 still open somewhere. If it were open 30, close 15, close 15 I could follow it a lot better.

Any help would be appreciated, but if it's not possible, thanks anyways for the work you've already put into this.

Ah, looking at the code I understand that you are checking for numbers of orders. Any chance you can check for volume size on each order and if it changes, report the # of lots reduced by as a closed trade? That should work, right?

Also, just a wishlist. A field to add hashtags would be great as well since I would be using this to post to twitter and relay posts to facebook and linkedin. The ability to filter the feeds going into facebook and linkedin (#fb and #in) would be great. Not everything I post on Twitter I want going to the other sites.

Sorry if I'm coming up with a lot of stuff. I'm just excited about possibly getting this working again.

Hi there,

Ok, gimme a couple of days and I'll see what I can do about the partial close.

You gonna have to explain to me how the hashtags works as I don't know anything about them. Would that be part of the email heading?

It's just text at the end of the email string. You could leave it blank and have the user add it. What it is is just text at the end of whatever email string you're sending out.

eg extern bool UseHashTags = true;
extern string HashTag = "";

And the user could type whatever in the field for that string to add a hash tag.

On twitter it's like a searchable term or it allows you to filter feeds. so #forex at the end would result in my tweet showing up on a search for forex.

Also regarding the partial close. Lets say I have an order # of 111 for 10 lots. When I close 5 order #111 goes to the history as a closed order of 5 lots. The remaining open 5 have a new order #. So on the open side I'd see a different order # (say 112) with 5 lots and in the history I'd see #111 closed for 5 (or how ever many you closed) lots.

And thanks in advance. While I can code a bit I was unable to get this to work, and I look at your code and realize that I'm dealing with a pro. I can tell because it's clean and I get lost trying to follow it

Hi profxtrader,

Sorry man, no progress so far.......There are several projects that I am working on(trailing stop being one of them) and this one is in the queue.

I don't expect any problems with the hashtags as that looks pretty simple(assuming my understanding is correct), but the partial closing of orders is going to be considerably more challenging.

Yeah, hashtags are singly a string added to the end of the email body.

And regarding the partial closes, yeah, if it were easy I would have done it myself

Hi - I have applied this ea and did receive an email when the trade was opened and then modified:

2011.06.08 14:41:15Mail: 'ThinkForex.com Trade Alert : Acc No 123456 Fred Blogs LTD' has been sent

But then when the trade was closed I saw this message in my journal and I did not receive the email:

2011.06.08 14:41:17Mail: 451 Invalid Smtp line - Should end with CRLF
2011.06.08 14:41:18Mail: 'ThinkForex.com Trade Alert : Acc No 123456 Fred Blogs LTD' failed

Anyone know what that means and why it failed?

This would be incredibly useful.

I would love an email update if stop is moved or take profit moved, as I use an automatic EA to trail and move stops.

Hi Kenny,
The pending order seems not working all the time? do you know why?

Quoting kennyhubbard
Herewith the latest.......

I have fixed the incorrect pips on trade close, as well as the incorrect symbol on trade deletion.

I have implemented the ordermodify detection......use this with caution if you use a trailing stop EA. It has a bool setting Show_Modified which can be turned off, if desired.

profxtrader, I have tested a bit and it seems to be working fine. Please try this version and let me know if you are able to duplicate the failures of the previous version. There is bound to be some permutation of orders that may cause errors,...
