Hi All,

Need help, please. I want to add a condition in my EA...it looks for the trend and then it trades in this direction until the trend has changed...but sometimes it trades too much and the last trades (closer to the end of the trend) are always losers...
I would like the EA to only trade 3 times per trend...can anyone help me to write this condition?
Tks e best tradings.

I think you first define how you figure out the trend (e.g. by using what indicator to decide it's up/down trend). And then you can use it for EA.

1. you would want to count the trades
2. you would need to remember the trend of the last trade
3. then if trend and the trend of the last trade are same and also trade count is not above limit, only then you can do another trade in that direction; otherwise, if trend has changed you would reset the trade counter

tks MarcusChin.

I already have the code to find the trend. This is not a problem to me...what i want is a code that limits the number of orders in the same trend....so when the EA is in a new trend it will only send 2 orders for exemple. Then when the trend changes (the EA will know that), this counter will reset and the EA will be able to send 2 orders again.

tks rockit.

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes

How to code it?

Best regards to all

He already told you how to do it.

You can either just remember the last traded direction or look into the history of the client this will guarantee you, that it will also work after a restart of the terminal.


Inserted Code
//feetch direction
for(last orders)
{
if(magic number && Direction = long)
   lastDirection = long
if (magic number && Direction = short)
   lastDirection = short
}
 
if(direction we want to trade in = lastDirection )
   if(orderCount < x)
      OrderSend.
      directionCount++
else
    OrderSend
    directionCount = 1

You mean the chart in FF? Seems js is not possible to be added due to the virus risk of js. Not sure about HTML

It's cool. But I think what fcg237 need is a web browser function that able to parse HTML tag and present into presentable way.
