Hiya Gnat, Good to hear from you ! Don't let the 1x results fool you. I suppose a monkey with a typewriter "could" have written War and Peace (or some other huge book I've never read), but that doesn't make him a writer. I'm still a programming ...

Correct code for Limit Entry

What if we planned a big party and nobody showed up??? Even so, I did want to provide some closure for this topic. I am very happy to report that the change identified in the second post DOES Work I know the programmers in the group already knew ...

Correct code for Limit Entry

Change is good so long as it's good change. Not sure what the new administration will bring but I DO know a number of people who are not at all happy about the change that Obama represents. Unfortunately, I think McCain is about as anti-republician ...

I think I found it ... — I think I figured this one out ... Originally I was using: NormalizeDouble(Ask-LimitEntry,Digits) I've just run a single entry test with this code NormalizeDouble(Ask - LimitEntry*Point,Digits) and a Limit order DID ...

Correct code for Limit Entry

It seems to be like the Real Estate Seminar group. If your program really IS so great, why WOULD you want to mess with a room full of clamoring customers. What I DO understand is sharing the process and results when called for. That's one of the ...

Best Metatrader Robot?

I've run into this also. What I've found is that the grey ones won't drag BUT they will right click. So, I suggest you open the chart & window you want to attach it to. Then right click on the EA. The top option will be "Attach to a chart". Click on ...

Report from the field. Tried to revise from glbOrderTicket to simply OrderTicket ... didn't work New pair still opens fine but the previous one will not close ... Again, this is only when I change the lot size and reconnect the EA. Soultrader's ...

Change an EA and change your life

Hi Nv, I agree that another thread/location would be better to explore the various settings he has ... not my interest at this time. Looking to the specifics of the EA tools, I was curious about the process of changing the time. Some EA's have it ...

Different types of EA's - trying to learn

Thank you Nv... If you're familiar with his EA's, would you know how one moves to the higher time frame? Is this simply a case of the EA working off the time frame we're looking at or would that be one of the changable options in the EA? If it's the ...

Different types of EA's - trying to learn

Magnum & NVWine, Thank you both for your quick responses. I appreciate that. The lightly shaded also doesn't "drag and drop" like the other. I've still managed to attach it but have done so thru mouse control and playing through those commands. The ...

Different types of EA's - trying to learn

Hello Akuma, Thank you for your input. Yes, I am increasing the lot size and perhaps that is what the MetaTrader does not like. My hope with this is to be able to increase the size of the "next" trade, as the account grows (in theory). Ultimate ...

Change an EA and change your life

Hi Chandra, Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. I'll test your suggestion. Not being enough of a programmer myself (beginner here) I don't yet understand the impact of the global functions. This particular EA has 4 main "steps". Open long, ...

Change an EA and change your life

I think I first mis-read your quote Henry and having re-read it I think we agree within your illustration. If I were considering a doctor to handle the birth of my child I would seek one who has a history of birthing them ... not aborting them. ...
