Reversi: a dynamically calculated x-candle reversal EA by Steve Hopwood
Ah, Steve, any clue on how i can implement that parameter easily ?
Nothing definitive, but I have been thinking about it.
How about this: assuming you are using balance and only-trade-a-currency-twice filters, this limits the number of pairs that can be traded at once.
Perhaps working out what this maximum is likely to be would supply the missing variable? Those old trader101 baskets contained 12 pairs that were supposed to be 'balanced' as I recall, so maybe this number would do the trick?
But, what about i have the EA running on 26 charts/symbols but only ever want it to trade one pair/symbol at a time.
And dont forget, now I am using my own money and not the banks so I maybe being over careful.
Add a function that returns a value that reflects the fact that there is a different pair trade already open, add a call to it before calling LookForTradingOpportunities() and abort the trade if the returned value demands this.
Sounds like An Excellent Plan to me.
Yes I see but doesnt LookForTradingOpportunites() also handle recovery for a partifcular pair, so it still needs to be processed ?
Scoobs.
If there is already a different-pair trade open, then you do not want a trade opening on this chart. Your filter will not stop the ea taking Recovery trades for the pair with the open trade.
i.e. the function is:
bool IsAnotherChartAlreadyTrading()
{
some code that returns 'true' if this is so, else returns 'false'
}
Then the call becomes:
if (!IsAnotherChartAlreadyTrading() ) LookForTradingOpportunities();
Thanks Steve.
You're welcome. I only did not do the entire code for you because I know you can and did not want to insult you.
Sing out if you are feeling lazy.
I shall do it today Steve and send you the entire Scoobs - Reversi code. Feel free to post it for others or put it in the bin.
Scoobs.
Cheers. I shall post it - we all value your help.
I had a heavy night Steve, you reckon this will do the trick ?

Steve,
Apart from the LOT problem do you think the following will work then ?

bool IsAnotherChartAlreadyTrading()
{
string Pair[];
bool OtherTradesExist = false;
if(OrdersTotal() == 0) return(false);
for(int cc = 0; cc <= OrdersTotal(); cc++)
{
if(!OrderSelect(cc, SELECT_BY_POS) ) continue;
if(OrderMagicNumber()...
Hi Steve,
Please find attached.
You can search for Scoobs - 20/08/2011 to see the changes I have made. I think it should work fine but I will test this week.
Cheers

and one DD over $600 in GBPCHF pair that did not last long. But when this trade went into full recovery the bot did not redraw the BE line to account for the last trade. The chart with these trades is attached.
