You do not need the update if you do not want the extra buttons.

Hi Steve,

When I use the buttons, they don't only send 1 set of orders.

The -Send Buy Stops- also sends Sell Stops.
The -Send Sell Stops- also sends Buy stops.
The -Send Buy Limits- also sends Buy Stops and Sell limits
The -Send Sell Limits- also sends Buy stops and Sell stops

Hi Steve,

I went through all the settings to figure out what might have caused it. I think it's the ADX setting. If you set -UseAdx- to false, it opens the extra grids.

Not on my demo it doesn't, so stop posting about this. When stuff works fine for everybody else and when the code is reused in a variety of EA's without a hitch and someone posts that there is a hitch, then I do not believe them. You are doing something wrong and I do not care what it is. Sort it out for yourself.

Been testing this system for the last week. I think if only send buy grid when pa is above 50SMA H1 and short only below 50SMA H1 at the start of the day. Usually pa obeys 50SMA on the H1. The slope of the MA need to be on good angle instead of being flat to avoid ranging pa.

I'm again testing the original method, after I found that offsetting leaves huge gaps in the grid that don't get filled again. Before I started the offsetting the account made 100% in a few weeks.

I noticed that GBPJPY nearly always closes the same day, and put it on my live account.
You guessed it, didn't close the very 1st day, and in DD now.

Unusual problem keeping popping up now on tester. It used to be working fine.

It keep arguing with me that ButtonCreate failed!

Here is the screenshot.

Any idea what might be the problem?

V 1l is in post 2, in response to this pm from jonny007:

I have been playing around with Greedy wotsit v1k and noticed a bloop in the 'SendIndividualGridsAtExtremes' section of code.

Line 1258, I believe should be sending a new grid of sell stops when there is only one remaining from the original grid. However the code reads
"SendBuyGrid(Symbol(), OP_SELLSTOP, price, Lot);"

Regards,

John.

Thanks John. Nice one.

It possibly explains the gaps we have been experiencing using offsetting. Not sure. Best to have correct code, though.

J and my line numbers are slightly different, so if you want to make your own changes, then line 1254:
SendSellGrid(Symbol(), OP_BUYSTOP, price, Lot);

needs to be:
SendSellGrid(Symbol(), OP_SELLSTOP, price, Lot);

I got a closure yesterday from last week trades. You also had the same TP closure?
