The code is working fine. Thanks again for your help. Can I impose one more time? I have an EA I am developing with a entry based on the first four candles of the trading day (candle 0:00 GMT - 4:00 GMT). What is the code I can use to determine the highest high and lowest low for that specific period each trading day? Essentially, I am trying to make a breakout tunnel. Thanks for your help again. |

I tried for a LONG time on several brokers(demo accounts) to get an EA to open 2 ORDERS, 1 with a TP and one without ..and ONLY 2 orders at a time. WHen conditions reverse, CLOSE any open positions and open 2 in opposite direction. NEVER fully successful...as it opened 2 orders sometimes, then only 1 order, then sometimes 4 orders and I have no idea why. I did try some of the code tips in this thread before. Seems like there should be an easy way to have this work 100% of the time. I basically had this to check for 0,1 or 2 orders open int start() { int total,ord,i; string symbol; total = OrdersTotal(); for(i=0;i<total;i++) { OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS); if(OrderSymbol() = Symbol())ord++; |

Can you also chime in on the determing the Highest and Lowest for a specified time period? I need to determine those prices for the period 0:00 GMT - 4:00 GMT each day. But it seems to be a moving target. Any thoughts? |

datetime newbar; int start() { if(newbar==Time[0])return(0); else newbar=Time[0]; //your program } I see the posts about checking for open positions BUT what if your position had a Take Profit and it closed but you do NOT want another position opened in the same direction? I don't want another 'BUY' to execute if i had a buy open and it hit the TP. I want it to wait until the MA's cross down and open a SELL and repeat the whole thing over again. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Can anyone provide the code to make sure only one trade per pair is opened at time? I have an EA that places market orders, but it places multiple trades as long as the conditions are met. I only want one trade per pair opened at a time. For example, once a short GBPUSD is opened, then as long as that trade is opened, there are no other GBPUSD trades opened (Long or Short) even if the conditions to open a trade are still valid. Can anyone provide the code for this? I have changed my int ticket = -1; to int ticket; and this has not worked. I also have used the OrderSelect() and if (ticket != -1) functions, but the EA continues to try to (and sometimes successfully) open new trades. Please help!!!! Thank you. I use magicnumbers for this process, especially when trading multiple pairs simultaneously, each pair (or trade condition) uses a unique magicnumber. this code can be stripped down if you only use one condition and pair. if (OrderExist(magicnumber) == false) ..test for trade conditions.. obviously if an open position exists the code never checks for a new trade possibiliy if you use code to close/modify an order please note that the OrderExist function selects your order. and the code i use looks something like this if (OrderExist(magicnumber)) ModifyTrade(); // function checks if trade needs modifying or closing bool OrderExist(int m) |
