EA which opens and closes positions at same TimeFrame
Hello,
Please use the SRC button when you post code. Thank you.
This time, I edited it for you.
So my first trade is: buy at 00:00 and closes at 03:59. Second one: sell 04:00 closes at 07:59
But there is a problem: it doesnt matter which TF is set in strategy tester, it always testing for H4.
I can manually write code for H1 or for M30 or for any others, but i searching for universal solution, it menas, i will set TF in strategy tester no in code.
Don't write manual code, don't assume a TF.
Just code it to do exactly what you just said, open at the start of a new bar, close one minute before the end of the current bar.
I have already soleved the problem how to open orders based on choosen TF in strategy tester:
oprice = iOpen(Symbol(), PERIOD_CURRENT, 0); ticket = OrderSend( Symbol(), OP_SELL, lot, oprice, 0, 0, 0, NULL, mn, 0, 0);
now when i set in strategy tester any TF it always opens orders at open price of choosen TF, thats works correct.
but now i dont know how to close this order. For example: TF: M30 start at 00:00 and it should closes this order at 00:30 or couple seconds before closing. I tried to use
cprice = iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_CURRENT, 0);
if(OrderType()==OP_SELL) {close=OrderClose(OrderTicket(), lot, cprice, 2, 0);
but it doesnt works. Any solutions?
cprice = iClose(Symbol(), PERIOD_CURRENT, 0); if(OrderType()==OP_SELL) {close=OrderClose(OrderTicket(), lot, cprice, 2, 0);These two lines have nothing to do with when. Post your code where you decide it's a minute till end of the bar.

Hi, Im new in mql coding. Couple days ago i tried do make a simple EA. I wanted open and closes postions at choosen timeframe. For Example: timeframe H4 pair EURUSD: EA will start placing orders at 00:00. So my first trade is: buy at 00:00 and closes at 03:59. Second one: sell 04:00 closes at 07:59 then buy then sell etc. always change buy and sell. There cannot be situations when two trades are in same mode in row.
i wrote a simple code:

Please somebody help me
