increase lot after get stoplose..

Sounds a bit Martingale to me, which to me is a BAD IDEA. It's a bit tricky, but an EA could do it.

The pseudo-code I would adopt would be (no, I won't code it all for you)

// this code is uncompiled, untested, and not necessarily correct
int start()
{
...
static datetime LastClosedTrade = 0;
static bool NeedToBoostNextTrade = false;
...
ScanClosedTradesAndSelectMostRecentToClose();
datetime  MostRecentClosedTrade = OrderCloseTime();
if(MostRecentClosedTrade > LastClosedTrade)
{
   if(SelectedTradeClosedAtALoss())
   {
      NeedToBoostNextTrade=true;
   }
   LastClosedTrade=MostRecentClosedTrade;
} 
...
ConsiderGeneratingNewOrder()
...
}
void GenerateANewOrder()
{
...
   double orderLots = SomeNumber;
   if(NeedToBoostNextTrade)
   {
      orderLots=orderLots * 3;
      NeedToBoostNextTrade=false;
   }
...
}

thx brewmanz..

ya, the martiangle is dangerous and using full margin to win a little.. i don't like it too..

but i want using the method increament lot after get sl, maybe is good idea.. for signal that have percentance winner/lose = 50:50, is good using increament lot.. maybe enough need max 4 times increament ..

so i want to test it..

this is my code:

extern double TakeProfit = 50;
extern double StopLose = 50;
extern double Lots = 0.1;

extern double range=20;
double dBuyEntry;
double Pip;
extern int Magic = 100; //use this magic for your main position, use Magic + 1 for 1-st buy-stop, use Magic + 2 for last sell-stop
static datetime LastClosedTrade = 0;
static bool NeedToBoostNextTrade = false;

int m_100_order_ticket = 0;
int m_101_order_ticket = 0;
int m_101_order_type   = -1;
double m_101_order_op  = 0;
double m_102_order_op = 0;
int m_102_order_ticket = 0;
double m_100_order_op  = 0;
int m_103_order_ticket=0;

int init(){
Pip = Point;
if(Digits==3||Digits==5)Pip*=10;
TakeProfit *= Pip;
StopLose *= Pip;
          }

int start()
{ 
int ticket, range =20;
int i;
int total = OrdersTotal() - 1;
for ( i = total; i >= 0; i -- )
   {
   if ( !OrderSelect( i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES ) ) { Print( "OrderSelect error #", GetLastError() ); continue; }
   if ( OrderSymbol() != Symbol() ) { continue; }
   if ( OrderMagicNumber() == Magic ) {  m_100_order_ticket = OrderTicket(); continue; }
   if ( OrderMagicNumber() == Magic + 1 )
      {
      m_101_order_ticket = OrderTicket();
      m_101_order_type = OrderType();
      m_101_order_op = OrderOpenPrice();
      continue;
      }
   if ( OrderMagicNumber() == Magic + 2 ) { m_102_order_ticket = OrderTicket(); m_102_order_op = OrderOpenPrice(); continue; }

   }




 if(New_Bar()){
if (OrdersTotal()<1){
   if ( m_101_order_ticket < 1)//if second doesn't exist - open it!
                         {
     if (High[1]>High[0])

{ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,NormalizeDouble(Ask,4),3,NormalizeDouble(Ask-StopLose,Digits),NormalizeDouble(Ask+TakeProfit,Digits),0,Green) ;}
   GenerateANewOrder()
                         }



//ScanClosedTradesAndSelectMostRecentToClose();
datetime  MostRecentClosedTrade = OrderCloseTime();
if(MostRecentClosedTrade > LastClosedTrade)
              {
   if(SelectedTradeClosedAtALoss())
                   {
      NeedToBoostNextTrade=true;
                   }
   LastClosedTrade=MostRecentClosedTrade;
              } 

//ConsiderGeneratingNewOrder()



                    }
                  }
return(0);

 }

bool New_Bar()
{
static datetime New_Time=0;
if(New_Time!=Time[0]){
New_Time=Time[0];
return(true);
}
return(false);
}



void GenerateANewOrder()
   {

   double orderLots =  SomeNumber;
   if(NeedToBoostNextTrade)
      {
      orderLots=orderLots * 3;
      NeedToBoostNextTrade=false;
      }
 
return (0);
}

your code have not complete..

please help...

thx..

help..

extern double TakeProfit = 50;
extern double StopLoss = 50;
extern double Lots = 0.1;
int OT;
double OL;
string _symbol;

int init()
   {
   Pip = Point;
   //----
   if(Digits==3||Digits==5)
      {

      }
   }

int start()
  {

      {                                     
      OT = OrderType();
      OL = OrderLots();
      _symbol = OrderSymbol();
      double OP = OrderProfit();
      if (OrderMagicNumber() == Magic)
         {
         if (OrderProfit() < 0)
            {
            Lots = NormalizeDouble(Lots*2, 2); 
            }
         else
            {
            Lots = 0.1;
            }
         }
      }
   }

something like this

hi gjol..

it's error

2010.11.15 17:40:11 2010.10.11 10:06 addlot EURUSD,H1: OrderSend() error - 4106

2010.11.15 17:40:11 2010.10.11 10:06 addlot EURUSD,H1: unknown symbol name for OrderSend function

so i change the code :

 int ticket=OrderSend(_symbol,OT,Lots,Ask,3,0,0,"",Magic,0,Green);

to:

int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OT,Lots,NormalizeDouble(Ask,4),3,Ask-StopLoss*Point,Ask+TakeProfit*Point,"",Magic,Green) ;

so can open some position, but error:

2010.11.15 17:45:11 2010.11.12 23:00 addlot EURUSD,H1: OrderSend error 4051
2010.11.15 17:45:11 2010.11.12 23:00 addlot EURUSD,H1: invalid lots amount for OrderSend function

the problem is Lots, so i change the Lots to OL, can not open position..

so what the code for changing the Lots?

thx..

i'm so sorry but i didn't check the code (& of course didn't debug it), i only wrote the this code to give you the idea how to do this

I checked it now and the only change needs to be done is:

Lots = NormalizeDouble(OL*2, 2); 

Instead of:

Lots = NormalizeDouble(Lots*2, 2); 

& working perfect

thx very much gjol...

it can work perfect...

great..

o ya, how about limit it?

i want the increament only to 3 times..

so i add the code like this:

void CheckIfOrderEarned()
   {
   int i=OrdersHistoryTotal()-1;
   //----
   OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY);
      {                                     
      OT = OrderType();
      OL = OrderLots();
      _symbol = OrderSymbol();
      double OP = OrderProfit();
      
      if (OrderMagicNumber() == Magic)
         {
         for (i=1; i<4; i++){
         if (OrderProfit() < 0)
            {
            
            Lots = NormalizeDouble(OL*2, 2); 
                                
            }
         else
            {
            Lots = 0.1;
            }
                           }
         }
      }
   }

but still increment lot until profit...

it should increment until 3 times, but unlimited untill profit..

what is the wrong...

and this code :

if (ticket > -1)
      {
      OrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET);
      bool retrn = OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), Ask - StopLoss, Ask + TakeProfit , 0, Red);
      if (retrn == false)
      Print("OrderModify() error - ", GetLastError());
      }
   else
      {
      Print("OrderSend() error - ", GetLastError());
      }

what is this code for? it that for changing the stop lose and takeprofit value when first tp and sl=0 ?

i am testing not include it to ea, can increment lots too..

and why do u using OT?

OT only open buy position, so i still using Op_BUY or Op_SELL..

thx..

Lots = 0.1;
if (OrderProfit() < 0 &&  OL < NormalizeDouble(Lots*3,2))

that's right

I took it, from a ready function that i have (some times it comes to use)

gjol..

it can not limit the 3 level increment lot.. it still unlimited increment untill profit..

so i change to like this:

if (OrderProfit() < 0 &&  OrderLots() < 0.4)

but it's not good because only limit based of lot when increment until 0.4 from 0.1-->0.2-->0.4, then can not increment again if have get sl..

i want it based of 3 level increment only..
