There's not much wrong with your OrderClose syntax. When the broker's trade server rejects the order in fast markets you'll get a 138 error ie a requote. You need to write code to handle a requote error and re-submit the Orderclose requests.

You can create a wide array of error handling code for both execution and exit. I use a an external library file which contains generic order execution and exit functions to cater for these issues.

Google fxalgotrader to see more on this.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jason, Luke and everybody here,

Please I have an EA that I am working on, however, the start() function is being executed at every tick. I want the start() function to be executed at the close of each bar (say if attached to a one hour chart) and not at every tick.

My code snippet to control bar opening time is pasted below but it is not working as expected as new ticks still get processed within bars.

static int pTime=0;
if((pTime==Time[0]) && (CurTime() - pTime) > 3600) {
newBarOpened = false;
} else {
newBarOpened = true;
}

Are you or anybody i this forum able to help me with a snippet to control bar opening time?

Hi!

Want to recommend you the new EA made by a woman and her team - this is Rita Lasker's FishForexRobot. Now it is sold on a lower price than it really costs, because it is pretty new at the market, though worthful. So, do not loose time! By the way, firstly you may visit her free robot site - robot4free.

You need to do this:
When opening trades - do not include the stops
After the order is opened, modify it adding the stops
Some ECNs do not accept partial closing

You can use molanis strategy builder, it creates the ea for you - ready for ecn (Molanis Strategy Builder for MetaTrader)

This is what I use

bool Continue_Processing(int CheckFrequency, int CheckInterval, datetime TimeStamp, int ThisMinute, int TheBarShift)
// not all code in in function is shown
if(CurrentTimeStamp != TimeStamp) //Process once per bar on bar open
{
TheBarShift = 1;
CurrentTimeStamp = TimeStamp;
return(true);
}
else return(false);

....
bool continueprocessing =Continue_Processing( CheckFrequency, CheckInterval, Time[0], TimeMinute(TimeCurrent()), BarShift);

also rather than make pTime static, just make it global as that is what it is, just don't use it in any of your other functions.


Now, I have a problem. I want to place pending orders just above/below the Current BID and I assume I have to add the "stoplevel" to the BID to get a valid pending order. When I execute the following code on FXCM I get a return value of zero for stoplevel.

RefreshRates();
double stoplevel=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL);

I have executed the same code on FXDD and it works fine.

Is it an implementation Bug with FXCM and if so, are there any workarounds to get a good estimate of the stoplevel. I have considered a recursive function that adds a pip to the BID until the pending order is placed.

I also have a second question. I have a high speed quad processor and am testing my EA on several demo accounts simultaneously. The foreground EA seems to work correctly but I have instances where the background EAs are "going to sleep" e.g. not processing on every new bar. Is this due to a lack of cpu cycles for the background processes or is it a MT4 limitation.

Thanks for any information

Hi, noticed there didn't seem to be an answer to your question. The start function will always be run when an incoming tick is received on the MT4 chart your EA or indicator is loaded on.

If you wanted to optimise your EA/Indy to only run when a new bar was created on the chart you would just write a new bar sensing function so that when the number of bars on the chart changed you would allow your routines to execute. You can easily write a little function using the 'Bars' integer function which tells you the number of bars on the current chart. Just call your created function from start() and don't put any code in start() which doesn't need to be executed on each tick. Let me know if you need an example.

Hello guys,

my name is Sarah and I am trading since a few years. Last year I decided to trade with the mt4 because it suits me.

This year I would like to open a mt4 account with FXCM. Unfortunately I have really trouble to run it on the software in the demo account.

For some reason, which I dont know, this ea is opening and closing when he likes to do. Mostly after the 3. position he stops complete.

The funny thing about this ea is, he is running perfect without problems with Alpari (5 digits too) and in any 4 digit broker.

I called a technic guy - he said I have to write it for 5 digits : It is written for 5 digit, but still the same problem.

Has anyone else the same expirience made or could someone help`?

Thanks a lot Sarah
(Sorry for my english, but I am not nativ speaking)

SarahW,

What's the EA? What does it do? Who wrote it? It should be able to handle fractional pricing if it's been written properly

The EA is very simple based on the AO-Filter. The Terms to open and close are very simple. Because when the signal for a buy ist there, the ea will close the open sell and open a buy. If the signal for a sell is given, than the open buy will be closed and the sell will be opened.

In addition are the opportunities run the moneymanagement and the SL/TP manually.

It was written by a guy who programs ea's for the mt4.

Fractional pricing - no, idea ... therefore I am to blond.
I just wonder that this ea is running with Alpari (5 digit) without any problems.And the real funny thing is, in the backtest he shows every single signal - but unfortunately he is not doing this in real.

But in anyway ... here is the code for the ea. May you can see an error.
