Yes. Please wait until I resolve the problem with the Close Trades as discussed in Post #386. Use the TradersGift EA from Post #1. The strategies will work with that but some existing pending orders may be left with the close trades EA as discussed below.

quote:
I'm still having some issues with the close trades EA and have to wait until start of trade on Monday for test further. The problem I have relates to deleting all pending stop buys and stop sells. The microsecond I delete all pendings, TradersGift steps back in and creates new ones (because the dummy buy limit takes about 3 microseconds to get into place). I am going to have to introduce a delay loop after the dummy buy limit to allow it to be placed and allow TradersGift to become aware of it and then delete all pending trades.

I will fix it after I can test when trading begins tomorrow and post a new zip file in about 18 hours.

Hello Dave, can you tell if there is the possibility of the EA open position only when the price is above the 200 EMA for example?
If there is that you can indicate where thank once again explain that I have to translate everything and sometimes there words that can not translate and the phrase is meaningless.
Thank U

Yes that is possible. Just add it into your filters. Some homework is required to fully understand what I am saying!

Dave is correct so for 15 minutes graphics

Se eu colocar trailing stop onde coloco o valor do intervalo dos pips?

I know that you will shortly be angry with such silly question, but for example I can not translate Straddle and so do not know what to say, shame not know English.

I feel compelled to withdraw because I am so my angry, my spirit is broken by dumb posters which we all have to deal with because of lack of homework. Also the people who have used me without any input!

Notwithstanding the invaluable support of (I will name them) kleybenny, nobby911, drfowc and last but not least Alex who have put their heart into my concept. let all the other downloaders hang their head in shame for being users and not contributing.

I'm sorry if I have omitted anyone and I will go back and edit this post if necessary!

Nothing important, but actually you can shorten line 393-395 into a single line:
Inserted Code
EAMode = ((TradingMode==0)?("Automatic"):(((TradingMode==1)?("Advisory"):("Discretionary"))));
And line 411-413 into:
Inserted Code
ClosureMode = ((TradeClosureMode==0)?("Stop Loss or Take Profit"):(((TradeClosureMode==1)?("Signal Reversal"):("Traders Dynamic Index"))));
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,10,Ask,30,SL,TP,"",0,0,clrGreen);

That is the sort of intellect which helps me to improve my programming skills. Thank You!

People If you want to use my EA, if after 500+ downloads why don't you have some principles and post constructively rather than just being users. Most of you need to self examine yourselves. No wonder if any thread does not continue if the majority are all users.

Please Dave don't get angry for many people that have not contribute to your work, you are really doing a great work. I have seen EA where that everybody brought their own ideas, at the end of the day the EA was mess up. Please don't give up.

Yep Dave_C, and if you look into my previous message about putting your script into GitHub, it will be a lot easier to keep track of what you have changed on the script and also it's easier to update for the people too.
To be honest I don't really understand what people say on the requests, but I can clearly understand of what your .mq4 says just by reading on it

Btw, on line 535:
Inserted Code
if (DisableTrading == 0) { CheckForClose(); CheckForModify(); }
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,10,Ask,30,SL,TP,"",0,0,clrGreen);

Not everyone has the same capabilities you Dave.
I regret not having capacity to contribute to your EA, had just asked him a question, if you think you do not owe me help on this question, all right is on your right, please excuse.

Guys
I am very grateful for your input. It's just that I get despondant!
The people who post, I feed off!

To all of you who are active contributors, I appreciate that a single overlook in trying to pander to a specific requirement can open up a potential can of worms. With close to 1300 hundred lines of code no wonder I get fiesty, I get really pissed off from the people who appear from nowhere and expect the earth to move for them.

Please excuse me for I have been monitored this thread for 20 + hours and I am astounded by the number of users v's the number of active contributors.

I think I am right now, once again want to apologize, I have noticed that you should not sleep since Friday that keeps online.
I had help from another topic member, whom I thank for now.

Well, maybe someone here could write us a FAQ on how to set up the EA, and also configuring it?
So every time someone asks something like: "How do I set this X to do Y?" or "I want the gap to be X pips from the Y line", we can point them to the FAQ instead of answering them one by one, because it'll take so much time to reply the questions one by one...

Btw, line 444,459,466,503:
Inserted Code
ObjectCount += 1;
or
Inserted Code
ObjectCount++;

Line 452:
Inserted Code
ObjectCount += 3;

And I can see that you're using a hardcoded PointValue in this EA to calculate the TP, SL and some other things, but actually it's not a good idea, since other broker's setting might differs.
Alternatively you can change them using:
Inserted Code
NormalizeDouble(xxx*Point,Digits);
By using above command, you can safely use this EA with any broker and any currency without worrying about the value again

Hey guys

I have been using histdata.com for my historical forex data for a couple years and have recently downloaded data from Oanda.

The CSV file is the real time bid/ask with the date and time down to the second.

I usually import OHLC data with the date into MT4 no problem, but this new format is making a big road block for me.

Any of you kind folks have any suggestions as to how I might convert this data into something MT4 can use?

{quote} Alex has raised quite a significant issue. If the StopLossMultiplier is being used and the the TakeProfit multiplier is also being used, ie. for Risk:Reward, at what point do we allow the wager to be increased. He suggested BreakEven should be treated the same as a loss and my back testing appears to support that issue. Just for fun, I took the $5 buffer that I suggested in Post #389 out to $100 (an arbitary figure). BreakEven is programmed to give you a couple...
Dear Dave ,

As i had mentioned in my previous PM i have my child at hospital and have little minutes for PC. Please understand me. I will come back as soon as possible. With a brief look your are correct we need at least the price to move in our favor by stoploss 50 pips if there was less move it should be considered as a loss . It is my first thought but give me some time i will be back with more detailed answered after some testing. Believe me that maybe i am not in front of my PC but my thoughts are here.

Sorry for any delay. See you soon.

Alex

I appreciate all your input and I will not give up in spite of the overwhelming users out there.

Please if you have issues relating to the current EA, I will address them all but give me a break when it comes to your own personal needs. Just remember, this is all voluntary and if any of you have your own agenda, start your own thread but realise you have to perform.

I have worked long and hard at this because this is a passion so please bear with me if occasionally I get despondent because of all the users.

This morning I'm going to address the CloseTrades EA and will post shortly relating to that

The Point calculation in MQ4 is not reliable and that is why I created the variable PointValue.
