{quote} But like an EA, you would still need to have your MT4 terminal running on your PC for it to place the trade or use a VPS, right?
Yes sir. I guess I should also say that I don't trade manually per se. I will be there when orders are placed, and I might load a script to do math quickly, check conditions and if good then place the order but I do not manually place orders, so scripts work well for my style.

Well, thank you for sharing that information with me.

By the way, it would be of benefit to you to add a maximum allowed spread setting to the script. That way, you can protect yourself against the shady practice of brokers who surprise traders with an excessive spread amount at certain times of the day or when volatility is strong. This was a problem I ran into with my EA.
Learn from your mistakes and march on.

Of course, thank you for the discourse. Been missing conversation here lately with all that's going on.
Yes a max spread is a good idea. I guess just haven't because I am there when the script is working. I use it to help control impulses, no trading without the script and no touching once opened. If i see a setup, do the analysis and decide its good, I load the script and wait, check other symbols. The pc can respond faster than me and perform more actions so this is one drag onto chart click, one okay click (if needed, can circumvent this), then Im done with my part, script can handle placing the order and SL/TP. And if I'm only allowing one open trade at a time, because I'm no amazing trader haha, then I can feel better knowing the script can unload itself after placing the order.

Yes the changing timeframes can reload a program. In or before deinit() you can GetLastError() to check the uninit code https://docs.mql4.com/constants/namedconstants/uninit and then have your code not re-initialize itself: if(GetLastError()==3){prevent deinit/init}

If you're using the program on the same chart symbol that you need the info, you can replace the symbol name with NULL.

Talking about your script, does it have the feature that enables one to place trade few pips either above or below current market price and if it does, will your share it with us.

I just need a script or Ea that will enable me to place buy or sell order above or below current market price, without doing individual calculation on each pair manually

It places an order by price input. Input the price and if it reaches it then it will trigger a market order. The download is few posts back now, also in other thread last year.

actualy I use WHOLE_ARRAY so in any case it should get highest of beginning...why it dosen't do this?
_symbol==NULL? this is not working cause I want to do something like this if(symbol==eurusd){a=b;} if(symbol==gbpusd){a=b*2;}

Sure thing buddy, give me some time though, I have some errands to run. But it would help if you can report any errors you see in the experts tab of your terminal.

I'm sorry, I assumed you were using the program on the same chart you needed the info, in that case you would use NULL. So if on a EU chart and you only need EU info then you can:
if(_Symbol==NULL){do something}

Otherwise you can save your broker's symbol suffix in a string variable and add that to the symbol. Something like:
string suffix="-ECN";
if(_Symbol=="GBPUSD"+suffix){do something}

To make it more flexible, you can make the suffix an input variable and input the suffix when you load the indicator. Something like:
input string suffix;
Leave it blank and then if there is no suffix you do not need to input anything.

Really nice of you, thanks
That's the thing, I compile it and it says 0 errors, so I think it works per se correct, just doesn't close any position.

If I should explain something more detailed - just let me know. appreciate it, take all the time you need.

Try adding print statements anywhere you think there is an logic error, a simple form of debugging. Perhaps the values are different than what you are expecting and that is causing it to not close positions. But I am looking now.

Thanks,
Do you change the magic number when placing multiple trades?
And how is your experience so far using those settings

{quote} Thanks, Do you change the magic number when placing multiple trades? And how is your experience so far using those settings
You can change the magic number if you want but its purpose is to serve as an arbitrary trade filter. So usually when I separate my longs and shorts based on one program, I give longs magic number of 101 and shorts magic number of 99. If using another program to also trade at the same time I give different numbers, longs=1001, shorts=999.
Or you can input the magic number of existing trades you already have to limit the script to those tagged trades.

Honestly the settings were just for quick testing but they seem to work enough for scalping.

You are damn right. It looks like the line values are never getting updated... What could be causing it?

Or maybe I get it wrong?

P.S my bad, looks like they arebeing updatet bar-by-bar. Then something else is not correct... hmmm

Okay so the biggest part of the problem is that the iCustom calls are declared globally and the values not updated during run-time. Meaning that they are only given 1 value when they are initialized and it never changes after that. So if the conditions to close the order do not exist when you load the ea then they will almost never trigger. It's like a broken clock is right twice a day kind of thing.

Try this and see what happens. I just cleaned it up a bit and moved the iCustom declarations into start.

Edit: lol i see you found this out same time

Yup, now I get why the values got updated. I restarted the EA, that's why xD.
Brilliant mind, thank You. I really-really appreciated it
