Adjusting an EA from 4 digit to 5 digit broker

And I thouhgt you meant "what the f*ck are you running this in
Sorry to missunderstand you.
This EA is designed to run on 4H timeframe in the EURGBP chart.
It will not open a trade immediately. I´m still waiting for a trade in 5digit broker and had trades after 30-60mins on the 4digits broker. That´s why I came down to that this EA is not 5digit compatible

Thank you for your patience!

Haha, now thats a logical translation, even if its wrong

Any chance of an old screen shot from the 4 digit broker.
I see the ea traded a basket of 3 pairs and adjusted for m suffix, like on ibfx mini accounts.

Sure, I re-set it up on a 4digits demo account.

Got it to work on an ibfx 5 digit demo.

After seeing it on the chart, needs some changes. Looks like the code wasn't finished. Numbers messed up for the objlabel.

Give this a try on both 4 & 5, should work but may be some other tweeks needed.

Had to clear a little hidden code from the front of the text and play with saving as a uni code, not as the normal ansii. Hope that doesnt cause any probs.

Thank you so much for your work and time, really!!
But the mq4 you attatechd has no content and is not runable in MT4. Perhaps you just picked the wrong file as attatchment?

Greetings!

Think that was saving as uni code that caused that. The text is there if you open it with an editer like notepad, but not via MetaEditor.
I earlier had to copy out the whole text I wanted into another notepad file to get away from the hidden characters that only showed in MetaEditor & wouldnt compile of course.

Here is another copy saved as ansi code. Not sure how those characters in the triangle shape work. Cant follow the logic on how it shows on your screen, but I only get X's in a box.

Also had to play around with the chart background color to see some of the lighter objects on the screen.


cheers scalpz

edit: the blue alf line in this earlier screen shot has nothing to do with this ea.

Wow, great work scalpz!! I also get it work on ibfx, but not an fxcm for example, eventhough the have the same symbolnames. Don´t know what can be different there.
Anyway I will give it a try on ibfx on demoaccount and see which way it goes. Again: Many many thanks goes out to you!

i have a question now about this 4 digit and 5 digit please anyone kindly help me。

code below

Digits_Info = StrToDouble(DoubleToStr(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS),80));
Point_Info = StrToDouble(DoubleToStr(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_POINT),80));
or

Digits_Info = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS);
Point_Info = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_POINT);

reslut is always ，

2012.06.08 23:14:33UniversalMACrossEAV1.3.1 - Breakeven (2) GBPUSD,Daily: Point_Info0
2012.06.08 23:14:33UniversalMACrossEAV1.3.1 - Breakeven (2) GBPUSD,Daily: digits_info5

code this：
Ask_Norm = NormalizeDouble(Ask,Digits_Info);
Bid_Norm = NormalizeDouble(Bid,Digits_Info);

answer always

2012.06.08 23:14:33UniversalMACrossEAV1.3.1 - Breakeven (2) GBPUSD,Daily: bid_norm1.5431
2012.06.08 23:14:33UniversalMACrossEAV1.3.1 - Breakeven (2) GBPUSD,Daily: ask_norm1.5433

i wants 5 digit really。


if imodify it to

string wPoint_Info = DoubleToStr(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_POINT),8);Print("wPoint_Info",wPoint_Info);
Point_Info= StrToDouble(wPoint_Info);Print("Point_Info",Point_Info);

it print.
2012.06.08 23:40:56UniversalMACrossEAV1.3.1 - Breakeven (2) GBPUSD,M30: Point_Info0
2012.06.08 23:40:56UniversalMACrossEAV1.3.1 - Breakeven (2) GBPUSD,M30: wPoint_Info0.00001000

excuse me ,i got it .it it only because print() only print 4 digit.

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone can help me with the code for converting this EA to 3 digit (77.000) compatible with USD/JPY.

I know people might dislike this EA but any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks!!

So you're saying you don't have $99 to buy the up to date version?

I do but hell no I ain't spending money on an EA I'm not sure even works hahaha....

Backtests with 0ms are good on EU version however 500ms Oanda mt4 may think otherwise...

You don't want to help me ole CodeMeister??

I would charge much more than $99

Ahahaha no problem money man...

Can you suggest a scalping EA that is worthy of use?

ajsky I have same problem, I want to run stoch power EA_5g.mq4 in 5 Digit broker, can you give me stoch power EA_5g.mq4 working with 5 digit broker ?

thanks a lot ajsky...

Guys, who has time to take away from coding and trading to re-code an EA for someone that was sourced "dubiously".

I really don't mean to be harsh but it seems like some people expect to get a free EA that someone else paid for, with money or sweat equity, and then when it doesn't work they want to fix it but don't know how to code. So they hop on here n try and get some free consulting. Instead of learning to code or PAYing for the EA.

Most people are willing to help when possible, but there are limits. If you're really that keen to get some code working, HIRE a coder! Or ask a coder to do it for you but offer something at least. I noticed that once one bloke helped someone the thread just exploded with folks going "I can't get this to work, can you help me as well?" Do you see the issue?

If you are in need of some code to get your EA to work on 3 digit or 5 digit charts, I will help. However, I'm not about to download 25 EAs and debug or modify them. Just a reality of time management ;o)

*Note you must know a LITTLE about coding to do this.

1. Add global variables (local will work but just use global)
define variables vPoint as double , and vSlippage as int,
i.e
int vSlippage;
double vPoint;

2. Paste this into your init routine:
//----------------------------------------------------------
if (Point == 0.00001)
{ vPoint = 0.0001; vSlippage = slippage *10;}
else {
if (Point == 0.001)
{ vPoint = 0.01; vSlippage = slippage *10;}
else vPoint = Point; vSlippage = slippage;
}
//----------------------------------------------------------

3. Replace any instance of *Point with *vPoint, and any instance of slippage with vSlippage

You can use find/replace to do this quickly and pretty easily.


That's it! Its basically what the the other guys have said, I just said it a bit differently in case someone didn't understand the previous postings.
Also I included slippage, because myself, I used to forget that all the time and kept getting 138 requote errors.

I hope this helps someone. I'd even be willing to answer a few questions or private messages, but please understand I respect my time and hope you do too.

Hi i have a problem like this. i have an ea which made by codes guru in 2006. it work very profitable at backtests (with my own parameters).

But at live trading it is not working. no trades, nothing... at a website i had red it is because of it is an old script so it used for 4 digit markets. Any body may look at it and tell me what is the problem? i will be glad to use this ea on live trading because with my parameter of moving averages , this ea makes %70 profit in a month with %50 lever used.

I will share the parameters for sure .but first please help me.
