Small EA Fix Request

**I will pay $15 through paypal if someone can fix this EA for me, it is a fairly small request.**

I need this EA to have an option to turn on once a price has reached.

There should be a setting that says: Normal, meaning that the EA runs normally, the EA is turned on.

AND

An option that says, "Start EA At Specified Price."
This option when turned on, will only start the EA once price has reached a certain point. The EA should not take trades until this price has been reached.
Below the option should have 5 spaces where I can enter the prices I want the EA to turn on.

For example with this option, I would only want to have the EA to start trading when EURUSD has reached a price like 1.12 or 1.13, areas where I know a lot of orders will be placed. If price has not reached either of those numbers yet then the EA should not take trades.

I should be able to enter multiple prices so that the EA will start trading when one of them has been hit.

Some background info: This EA simply buys and sells based on the 'Non-Lag Dot Indicator.' Buys when blue, sells when red. The purpose of this fix is so that the EA only buys or sells once it has reached a price that I have entered. This price is what I determine a key support or resistance area therefore reversals from this point are usually strong. However, the EA works so that I do not have have to wait for the confirmation to enter the reversal, the EA will do it for me. Attached are the source files (mq4 and ex4)

You are a little missing on termino;ogy, EA starts and runs after it is linked to chart.
What means setting "Normal"
>>>There should be a setting that says: Normal, meaning that the EA runs normally, the EA is turned on.
But EA is turned on after startup immediately.

2. "Start EA At Specified Price." what you consider as specified price? Bid or Ask ?

Normal setting means the EA runs normally without needing to reach a special price. If this is too complicated simply add the specified price feature and I can use the original EA if I don't want thr additional feature.

And yes for the specified price I would like a Bid/Ask field to enter the ptice.

It is not so complicated, but
1) you need 2 specified prices: specified Ask and specified Bid. You dont know what type of order will open EA.

2) More important as for me.. You are able to specify prices once, on EA's startup.
What actions after opening order? You are not able to open other orders on other prices.. without restart EA.

I want it so that the EA starts running once one of the prices are hit. For example if price is in between two areas of support and resistance, I don't care which one it hits, I just want it to start trading when one of the prices are hit.

Ex: If 1.12 is hit before 1.11, then the 1.11 price is now useless. I just want it to start trading once ONE of the prices has been hit.

Hello rnsfrd!
Maybe i didnt understand you exactly, but as far i see if you choose when to do an order (in specific price) that you have mentioned, you can do it with pending order , buy at this price and sell in this price. EA are that they work automatically not by your request. Sorry if i am wrong

No, pending is not a solution. Decision about Opening is based on various checkups and conditions.

Check it. I have not indicator file
2016.05.21 20:18:37.531 2016.05.02 20:52 cannot open file 'C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4 at FOREX.com\MQL4\indicators\DoublecciWoody.ex4' [2]
so I am able to test changes.
You have specify extern bool OpenOnSpecifiedPrice = true;
extern double SpecifiedBid=0.0;
extern double SpecifiedAsk=0.0;
on startup. If you set OpenOnSpecifiedPrice to false , it means "normal" functioning.
Other way, we check hitting of the specified ask or bid in
bool SpecifiedPriceTargeted(int type, double price){
and take decision about opening.
I dont sure, how it functions OK without testing, but check.

OK
Be sure to enter valid data for SpecifiedBid, SpecifiedAsk on EA's startup.
