Thanks Ron, but MT4 is still not doing what it should be doing. I have changed the part as follow: ... }else if (OrderSelect(BuyTicket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES) == FALSE && Ask-Bid <= SpreadPoints){ BuyTicket = ...

Setting closing price for pending orders

One thing I notice is the OrderModify part never got called, and the ea keeps making new stop orders.

Setting closing price for pending orders

This is what I actually got: if (BuyTicket!=0){ OrderSelect(BuyTicket,SELECT_BY_TICKET); if (OrderOpenTime()!=0){ //if buy pending order became open order OrderModify(BuyTicket,OrderOpenPrice(),NewPrice,0,0,Red); }else{ OrderDelete(BuyTicket); ...

Setting closing price for pending orders

Below is what I got: ticket = OrderSend(...); --> This is executed successfully OrderModify(ticket,price,0,0,0,Blue); --> Error 4108 (invalid ticket) I don't see anything wrong here. Perhaps you can enlighten me?

Renko Block Charts

I have a question about renko. I am not sure whether anyone here has discussed it before, but I think some discussion is needed for this issue. The issue is Renko can be subjective. We can have slightly different visual depending on the starting ...

Oanda could still work due to lower spread, but I still prefer ECN. And you may be right about the MQL programming. Just looked at the release notes: seems like MT4 from MBT handles trade in a slightly different way. url

Strategy Automation for the Small Guy

Buying/selling inside the spread means buying/selling with the best bid/ask, which essentially means the trades will be filled, since they are the best price available. Best price gets filled, that is the hallmark of ECN. My trades need to be filled ...

Strategy Automation for the Small Guy

I need an ECN because I need to be able to buy/sell inside the spread. Fix spread dealers are not dependable when they spike up the spread as high as 40pips. I can tell you that I have only tested it once. You have to see it to believe it. It is not ...

Strategy Automation for the Small Guy

Everything you have said can be concluded in one sentence: "You can trade profitably by depending on stats alone" which I have already refuted. More so, your paradigm cannot explain consistency. The market is not irrational all the time. The point ...

How certain can you be that you have an edge?

It depends on what definition you give to the term 'edge'. If I change the definition, then well, I have an edge. My edge is a logical trade. A logical trade naturally has a higher probability of hitting TP compared to that of SL. Sometimes a ...

How certain can you be that you have an edge?

That's a funny question. I dare anyone here to do this: Go to an UFO club and check how many of them claim to have seen UFO before. If you get my point, then it's good. If you don't, doesn't matter then. Anyway, I do not think you need any 'edge'. ...

How certain can you be that you have an edge?

Thanks. It works now. Previously MT had a bug that kept crashing it. Btw, whenever I change the parameters, the changes are not reflected in the chart.
