Hi eggzactly,

 

I have insert your codes inside the EA. Just want to check with you if I am correct in the EA variables declaration and the function

 

int pmode;

 

double Pips = TotalProfit(pmode,Magic);

if (Pips >= MinProfit){

CloseAllTrades(0,Magic);

DeletePendingOrders(Magic);

}

 

 

Do I need to put

 

CloseAllTrades(1, Magic);

CloseAllTrades(2, Magic);

 

Since this is declare on top inside the init start()

 

What does CloseAllTrades(1, Magic); , CloseAllTrades(2, Magic); and CloseAllTrades(0, Magic); means?

 

Hi,

 

int pmode; = i put int pmode = 2 ; - for totalpips profit

 

I just use this to close all my trades,

 

// --- Close Orders

int CloseOrders(int magic) {

int numords;

numords = OrdersTotal();

 

for (int cnt = numords - 1; cnt >= 0; cnt--) {

OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if (OrderMagicNumber() == magic && OrderSymbol() == Symbol()) {

if (OrderType() == OP_BUY) OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Bid, Slippage);

if (OrderType() == OP_SELL) OrderClose(OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), Ask, Slippage);

}

}

return (0);

}

 

regards,

Eggzactly, thank you.

I meant I'm confused of the coding shown in the timing strings as below (azam's EA):

 

// Suggested Active 5am until 4pm at GMT +8

string CableRunStartTime = "0:00"; // 1:00=6.00am myfxbook 7am onwards is good !!!!

string CableRunEndTime = "9:30"; // 9:00=2.00pm

string CableRunNOTtoTradesTime1 = "20:00"; //<-- this is your pc local time (=NY 8am)

string CableRunNOTtoTradesTime2 = "01:30"; //(=NY 1.30pm)

 

How come "suggested active 5am= 0:00 and 4pm=9:30" at GMT+8 ; what's the base time to take, broker's server time or local time? I'm really confused...

 

Best regards,

 

Metin

Global variable for below ... these are fx server time

int EntryHourFrom = 1; // 5am

int EntryHourTo = 13; // 6pm still can trade

int ExitHour = 14; // Stop trade

 

if(!TelagaEmas && !IsTradeTime()) { DeletePendingOrders(Magic); return (0);}

 

The sub.

bool IsTradeTime()

{

bool Result=false;

if((EntryHourFrom<=EntryHourTo && Hour()>=EntryHourFrom && Hour()<=EntryHourTo) ||

(EntryHourFrom>EntryHourTo && (Hour()>=EntryHourFrom || Hour()<=EntryHourTo)))

{

Result=true;

if(Hour()>=ExitHour)

if((EntryHourFrom<=EntryHourTo && ExitHour>=EntryHourFrom) ||

(EntryHourFrom>EntryHourTo && ExitHour>=EntryHourFrom) ||

(EntryHourFrom>EntryHourTo && ExitHour<=EntryHourTo))

Result=false;

}

return(Result);

}

 

 

 

 

 

 

Discard this logic below

 

 

Anyone, please explain me how the EA run with 2 this function

"string CableRunNOTtoTradesTime1 =

string CableRunNOTtoTradesTime2 = " ?

 

Thanks alot

i see your problem that i had before..

just tweak this logic will make the world happy, so you had to be creative & analytical to know what the problem you had, what resources you had to solve it

 

if (Pips >= MinProfit){

while(MyOrdersTotal(Magic) != 0) {

CloseAllTrades(0,Magic);

DeletePendingOrders(Magic);

}

}

 

 

 

Hi muruku,

 

I have tried your function

 

double Pips = TotalProfit(Magic);

if (Pips >= MinProfit){

CloseAllTrades(0,Magic);

DeletePendingOrders(Magic);

}

 

which called the function below.

 

int TotalProfit(int Magic)

{

int total=OrdersTotal();

int totalPips = 0;

for (int cnt=0;cnt<total;cnt++)

{

OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS);

int mode=OrderType();

bool condition = false;

if (OrderMagicNumber()== Magic)condition = true;

if (condition)

{

switch (mode)

{

case OP_BUY:

totalPips += MathRound((MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_BID)-OrderOpenPrice())/MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_POINT));

break;

 

case OP_SELL:

totalPips += MathRound((OrderOpenPrice()-MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_ASK))/MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_POINT));

break;

}

}

}

return(totalPips);

}

 

I observe my account which is floating more than $30 in profits, but the EA still did not closed all the trades?

 

By the way, my broker is a 5 digit no, hence, I change the value for step and MinProfit to be 170 and 150

 

int Step = 170; // org 17 .. still stick to 17

extern double FirstLot = 0.01; // org 0.10 .. risky .. so just put 0.1

double IncLot = 0.0; // org 0.0

double MinProfit = 150; // org 15

 

Would that be the cause to all orders not closed?

Who's got the happy PIPS this week ?

I got 612 ...

 

i am live with cable EA version #171 (azam575) with necessary indicator at #187 (muruku) for around 72hours.

 

manage to get +6.5% profit (default setting, 2 pairs, GU EJ, instaforex cent from USD460 to USD490, now still float +USD11)

 

Hope this EA will be a long term constant profitable EA :)

 

Thank you to muruku (and fellow indo-investasi friends) :)

Hi muruku, I saw there is a buystop, sellstop in coding, does it works?. What is the function of his pending order in coding. Thanks. It seem when all the total floating profit reach MinProfit = 1.5 or 1.5 t/p reach it wont close all the position including the pending order. I'm testing the code by Azam.
