thanks a lot.

so basicly i can come to the conclusion. whenever i test an indicator in an EA and the log shows me an arrow had been given, but not shown on chart. then that indicator repaints?

thank you

Maybe? The arrow would be shown on the chart and then erased at a later time. I would prefer to do some analysis/debugging before drawing conclusions.

hi Xaphod,

here is my updated EA.

i included a timer in it. so now i can have the Ea open and close at times.
however 1 thing i still cant manage. when EA close a specific time, i also like to have it close all open trades.

what happens now. is that EA stops, but trades are still kept open.
if possible when you have time could you help me and and explain to me how i could add code in the Ea that will end all the open trades when time closes.

thanks

I see you've put a lot of time in learning to code.

I have one improvement you may want to consider and that is the way you are imputing the date time variables with the use of four extern int.

It would be more natural for the user to input these as one input in a string format, as in; '00:00' HH:MM assuming of course the date is todays date.

I have attached a couple of code blocks to do this, they are from a library I wrote a few years back. Can't post the library as its writen as an active library, which means the library has to be activated before it can be used. Which would take to long to explain.

One code function checkes to see if the string is a viable time input, that is, if it meets all the requiriments of being time. the second one converts that string into that of a datetime variable format. again, assuming todays date.

You will have to study the code and rewrite it to work out side of the library, I have no time to do this. May be Hangover or someone else can help you here.

This was writen for my needs and contains things that may not meet your requirements. One is I always trade and keep records based on GMT not broker nor local which means most time conversions will be to GMT.

XapHod,

as always thanks for the input.

the whole saturday i spend learning on code samples i made last week and inputting time cycles. order close.

also at last i understand now if there is an indicator line on a chart. and i want to do a buy or sell when a chart crosses a line i can simply do.

if ( line < Bid )

open buy order

if ( line > Bid )

open sell order.

it was so bloody simple now that i understand it.

sometimes stuff can be so easy while i think way to difficult.

CockeyedCowboy

thank you for your input and sample code.
however your time code is way to complicated for me at the moment.
i checked it, but i understand only 10% of it yet.
i know my piece of timecode is far from perfect, but it is my first piece ever written. it is the only logic behind it i understand for this moment.

once i understand coding more better. i will defintly try to rewrite your sample or input it.

best wishes

Here is an example of closing trades compatible with the basketEA code. Your code does not keep track of the orders it opens so it has to loop through all open orders and close them all. Which is probably not that great.

PHP Code

 // Close all open orders
for (int i=0; i<MAX_TICKETS;i++) {
  if (giTicket[i]>-1) {
    Refreshrates();
    if (OrderClose(giTicket[i],Lots,Bid,3) 
      giTicket[i]=-1;
    else
      Alert("Error closing order: ",giTicket[i],". Error Nr: ", GetLastError());
  }
}

Here is a simple example of how to control the time of a session if it is within the current day:

PHP Code

extern string    SessionBegin="08:00";      
extern string    SessionEnd="17:00";      
...

start() {
  datetime tSessionBegin;
  datetime tSessionEnd;
  bool bSessionActive=False;
  
  tSessionBegin=StrToTime(TimeToStr(Time[0],TIME_DATE )+" "+SessionBegin);
  tSessionEnd=StrToTime(TimeToStr(Time[0],TIME_DATE )+" "+SessionEnd);
  if (Time[0]>=tSessionBegin && Time[0]<=tSessionEnd))
    bSessionActive=True;
  ...
  ...
}

On can also add some code to validate/format the time input parameters to make it more error proof.

Hi Xaphod,

thanks a lot for helping out with the code.

i am really struggling on that part with the timecode. i understand only like 30% of it.

but with your example i understand it now better. i will replace your code with my timeblock step by step and check out the difference in operation. once it works i will post updated Ea on here.

another part i am struglling with is. is closing orders under certain conditions, but that is for later.

i am going to dive in the timecode again. thanks!

XapHod,

thanks for your reply,

however i think i spotted a bug. when i enter takeprofit and stoploss at 30 and 20. it will close the trades at 2 pips and 3 pips.

to check if it will do a buy or sell at every arrow i changed the take profit from 10 to 1000 on take profit and changed from 10 to 1000 on stoploss. however then it only opens like 5 trades.

also i cant set the take profit and stoploss on...

Ignored

use this code:

PHP Code

double dXPoint=1;


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| expert initialization function                                   |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int init()
  {

      if (Digits==3||Digits==5)
         {
            dXPoint=10;
         }

      if (Digits==3||Digits==5)
         {
            dXPoint=10;
            int SLIPPAGE=SLIPPAGE*dXPoint;
         } 
   
      return(0);
  }

thanks for the answers, i tried to input the code of Xaphod, but it didnt work me. gave lot of errors. i add this though Print("ArrowUp: "+ArrowUp+", ArrowDown: "+ArrowDown+" Time: "+TimeToStr(Time[1])); however it gave me only empty value signals when i run it in backtester. i added in here the EA and the indicator. very simple code with very simple indicator. both is just for learning purpose only. all i like to know is how can i read the value in my EA and how would i add a buy trigger or sell trigger. when a line crosses from red to green...

Ignored

You might want to try this instead.
Change: Print("ArrowUp: "+ArrowUp+", ArrowDown: "+ArrowDown+" Time: "+TimeToStr(Time[1]));
To: Print("ArrowUp: " + ArrowUp + "ArrowDown: " + ArrowDown + " Time: "+TimeToStr(Time[1]));
or you might be able to move the third quotation mark to the right of the comma.

Hi guys,
First of all - i'm really really sorry for my English ;-)

I'm a newbie in mql4 programming and i'm wondering why my EA wan't work. What i wanted to do is, to take the EA from the first page, so the supersignalEA, and add to it another EA - the "close all positions at profit target"

The first one (supersignalsEA):

Inserted Code

 
 
#property copyright "Copyright 2011, MetaQuotes Software Corp."
#property link "http://www.metaquotes.net"
extern double Lots = 0.1;
extern string Symbol_1 = "EURUSD";
extern bool S1_Buy = true;
extern double S1_Lots = 0.1;
extern string Symbol_2 = "EURUSD";
extern bool S2_Buy = false;
extern double S2_Lots = 0.1;
 
int magic=9502; return(0);
 
int deinit()
{
return(0);
}
 
int start()
{
double ArrowUp = iCustom(NULL,0,"supersignals",0,1);
double ArrowDown = iCustom(NULL,0,"supersignals",1,1);
 
if (ArrowDown != EMPTY_VALUE)
{
OrderSend(Symbol_1,OP_BUY, S1_Lots, MarketInfo(Symbol_1,MODE_ASK), 2, NULL, NULL, "RapidFire", magic, NULL, LimeGreen);
}
if (ArrowUp != EMPTY_VALUE)
{
OrderSend(Symbol_2,OP_SELL, S2_Lots, MarketInfo(Symbol_1,MODE_BID), 2, NULL, NULL, "RapidFire", magic, NULL, FireBrick);
}
return(0);
}

And the second one (close all positions at profit target):

My EA works but only with the first two opened orders,.... I'm wondering if someone could explain me why only the first two positions are open and close with the function "CloseWithProfit()", and after that nothing happens ?!
Thanks a lot,
and one more time - sorry for my English

Cheers.

I have read through all the posts here, but they all seem to deal with how iCustom doesn't work when trying to access data from Arrow Buffers in an indicator.
I took a look at it, and I now successfully use the arrow data from indicators using iCustom.
The reasoning is simple enough.
The solution is simple enough.
I have written an article describing the method, and it is a little lengthy, just to clarify some of the details.
I note that this was started in 2011.
If there is still enough interest, I will post the article, or, if you would like a copy, I will email it to you upon request.

I'm also looking forward to use my arrow indicator to use in an EA. Can you create buffers/icustom in my indicator please?
