{quote} for exemple: nfp usd, tp =80 since you set pointsaway=80, we expect the price to go 88 pips from the moment of the release. let's say the price in the release moment is 1.08500 so we set the pending order in 1.08580 and the tp is 1.09380 but, oops there is a slipage and the order opens in 1.08700, the ea recalculate the tp 80 pips from the new opening price witch is 1.09500 but we dont expect that the price will get over 1.09380
My trades doesn't have to hit TP. I just manage it the usual way I manage my trades. Sometimes even w/o slippage I may close a trade which later gets to continue to TP level, or a trade may close early due to trailing stop, and I may also get lucky and hit TP.

For example, today's AUD news slipped me 11pips and the move was almost close to my TP level of 52 but later retraced and hit my trailing stop.

Hey fellow News Straddlers, is anybody aware of a 1Click-close-all-Trades-Button-EA? I'd like to combine Alans EA with some Autoclick tool (Forex News Gun) that instantly closes all trades when the deviation of the news doesn't justify the entry, hopefully get protection against reversals.

Like this one: http://www.fxseal.com/blog/close-positions-mt4-button/

Unfortunately it crashes my MT4 when the Close All Button is clicked.
There is no Broker SL hunting, if your broker is non-dealing-desk.

That's a good question.
Maybe better to keep out of the market...

I use scripts to
(1) close all trades for low deviations
(2) close opposite trades, leaving only the trade in required direction

(1) can be applied to any chart
(2) is specific to the chart's pair it's being applied

I set up 3 FNG clicks per script
[[with the exception of (1) which I use 6 clicks, on the 4th click I input a 2-sec interval. i.e FNG performs 3 clicks, waits 2-sec interval, then clicks 3ce again. I do this because a straddle may be a stop order while FNG clicks, but becomes a live order by the time the broker server wants to perform the task, thereby popping up an error. So the next 3 clicks is there to close the live order]. But make sure your scripts are positioned kinda lower on your screen cos the error box pops up around the top left corner and doesn't get to be an obstacle to the next 3 clicks.]]

Sometimes FNG may be too fast and the platform reads 2 clicks as a single click which is why i use 3 clicks. Also, if I'm to use say 2 charts, I have to include an extra click in FNG which clicks on the chart I wanna run (2) on

BTW I have to open 2 FNG applications to do all these, on one FNG I run 6 clicks to close all trades, 1 click to spike in FOR direction and 3 clicks to close straddle in AGAINST direction. On the other FNG I run 1 click to spike in AGAINST direction and clicks to close straddle in FOR direction

An example is today's GBP Core Retail Sales with a 0.5 forecast. My straddle deviation is +/- 0.3 and my spike deviation is +/- 0.5 & I'm running on GU only

-The 1st set of 6 clicks closes all trades with a 2-sec interval input on the 4th click
-The next click is for my spike trade in FOR direction
-The next set of 3 clicks closes straddle trade in AGAINST direction, leaving FOR

-The 1st click is for my spike trade in AGAINST direction
-The next set of clicks closes straddle trade in FOR direction, leaving AGAINST
-Usually when my straddle deviation doesn't equal that of my spike, FNG won't let me use from -infinity to 0.2, it pops up an error, so I had to break it into 2 sets, one set takes from 0.1 - 0.2 i.e 'close to spike deviation 0.1' till straddle deviation 0.2, then from -infinity to spike deviation 0
-I don't have the issue described above with the FNG dedicated to FOR directions, just AGAINST

depends on how you trade your reversals though... I leave OCO as false and do my reversals manually

I've seen this happen before. Although I no longer live in the UK, I hear a rumour that it's fairly easy for the Big Boys to get advance information about good Retail Sales figures. Maybe it's just the fact that a lot of them live in London and can get the 'feeling' that Retail will be good or maybe it's something more sinister. Apparently, there was a large spike just before the data release.

Anyway, the large slippage is exacerbated by a lack of selling liquidity.

Hey Wakeel

Great job mate and thank you very much for your help. I will be trying out the idea of using FNG to close Amazing orders if deviations don't meet my requirements. Very good idea, I always find FNG to be much slower than amazing EA but to utilize it like this is great thinking.

Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year.

Good morning Alan, I just wanted to ask you that because the resolution of the metatrader now changed and the text is larger to accommodate the high resolution screen, if there is any way to hide the text of the EA in order to not disturb when the news since I operate with two brokers and reduce it to the maximum 2 metatrader.

Thanks, greetings and hope you have a good start of the year.

Can any of the coders here help code an EA/script that displays broker info on a chart which includes the following info:

- Broker's name
- Broker's server
- Account owner's name
- Account currency
- Broker's GMT
- Spread
- Commission
- Stop level
- Max lot
- Min lot
- Lot step
- Leverage
- Stop out level

As many of the ones I've been using have seized to function since the latest mt4 builds came out

thanks

wakeel, This is possible but do have an example of a script that does this and used to work but no longer functions? It would be easier to fix an existing one...
