"100 Pips a Day" EA by Metaquotes, Need ECN programming help please. - page 2

2. gdPoint = Point;
   // check if we are on a 5 digit broker
   if(Digits==3||Digits==5){
   gdPoint = gdPoint*10;
   Slippage =Slippage*10;
   lTrailingStop= lTrailingStop*10;

   Each change in pair, TF, Refresh rates, etc, the EA goes through an de-init, init cycle. It does not get reloaded.

   Thus GdPoint is correct, but Slippage and lTrailingstops becomes 10x 100x 1000x...

3. EA's must adjust TP, SL AND slippage

   //++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
   int     pips2points;    // slippage  3 pips    3=points    30=points
   double  pips2dbl;       // Stoploss 15 pips    0.0015      0.00150
   int     Digits.pips;    // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips)
   int     init(){
       if (Digits == 5 || Digits == 3){    // Adjust for five (5) digit brokers.
                   pips2dbl    = Point*10; pips2points = 10;   Digits.pips = 1;
       } else {    pips2dbl    = Point;    pips2points =  1;   Digits.pips = 0; }
       // OrderSend(... Slippage.Pips * pips2points, Bid - StopLossPips * pips2dbl
   //---- These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
       /* On ECN brokers you must open first and THEN set stops
       int ticket = OrderSend(...)
       if (ticket < 0)
          Alert("OrderSend failed: ", GetLastError());
       else if (!OrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_POS))
          Alert("OrderSelect failed: ", GetLastError());
       else if (!OrderModify(OrderTicket()...)
          Alert("OrderModify failed: ", GetLastError());
        */

Is there any point in replying to posts that are almost a year old ? unless, of course, the OP has re-posted more info . . .

that is a really good point

however it was on todays list of topics and i didnt think to check its start date I will be more observant in future

it was fun making it work on my broker

over last 2 months with my mods it make a profit although it does have quite a big drawdown (2 month in tester not live )

You can blame that on Elroch ;-)
