Enclosed - I presume you need opened orders closed as well as pending orders deleted.

Hey Dave

Even though I did not request this originally. I would like to take you for this EA. It is exactly what I have been looking for

Merry Christmas!

Hey Dave, I take that back. I tested this tonight and it doesn't seem to close all trades and (leaving 2 or 3 trades open), the auto trade button is still showing enabled and I see one trade was made a few minutes after after the scheduled new time.

See if Rene's code at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =99&t=4304 can help. Getting to grips with the code is something on my todo list. Rene is one of the coding stars at SHF so you cannot do better than to hack his code.

Yes the NewsEA.mq4 would be a good place to start. Alternatively, you can wait until I'm back in January when I can provide you the code.

Aloha!

I promised to provide some code for this EA, so here it is.

The OP requested the following and I quote:

This by itself is a vague, inaccurate specification for an EA. What news (ie. for which currencies) should trigger the close of some trades. Which trades should be closed, if it is determined that some news will be released. In the attached CloseOnNewsEA, this can all be configured with the following parameters:

UseNews: Overall On/Off switch for News Filter

CurrenciesToClose: Comma-separated list of currencies to watch/close. Leave blank for all.
If this parameter is left blank, (High/Medium/Low-impact) news for any currency, will trigger the closure of all trades, at the specified number of seconds before the news release. If the parameter is set to eg. EUR,USD, it will only check for news items for these two currencies and if found, it will only close currency pairs that have either 'EUR' or 'USD' in their name.

CloseOnHighImpactNews: If true, act on HIGH impact news
CloseOnMediumImpactNews: If true, act on MEDIUM impact news
CloseOnLowImpactNews: If true, act on LOW impact news

CloseOpenTrades: If true, and there is upcoming news (as specified by previous parameters), close open trades. Again, the trades it will close will depend on the CurrenciesToClose parameter.
ClosePendingTrades: If true, and there is upcoming news, delete pending trades.

SecondsBeforeHighImpact: Specifies the time-window before the HIGH Impact news event, in which the EA must close trades. Only relevant if CloseOnHighImpactNews is true.
SecondsBeforeMediumImpact: Specifies the time-window before the MEDIUM Impact news event, in which the EA must close trades. Only relevant if CloseOnMediumImpactNews is true.
SecondsBeforeLowImpact: : Specifies the time-window before the LOW Impact news event, in which the EA must close trades. Only relevant if CloseOnLowImpactNews is true.

SecondsAfterHighImpact: Specifies the time-window after the HIGH Impact news event, in which the EA must close trades.
SecondsAfterMediumImpact: Specifies the time-window after the MEDIUM Impact news event, in which the EA must close trades.
SecondsAfterLowImpact: Specifies the time-window after the LOW Impact news event, in which the EA must close trades.

MagicNumberToClose: Specifies the MagicNumber of the trades to close. -1 means all magic numbers

DisableTradingOnNews: If true and it has been determined that there is upcoming news, disable "AutoTrading".
ReenableTradingAfterNews: If true and there is no upcoming news, make sure that "AutoTrading" is enabled.

BrokerGMTOffSet: GMT Offset in hours of the trade server. This is needed to convert the FFCal scheduled news times (which are listed in GMT) to trade server times.

If haven't tested the attached EA exhaustively, so beware.

Have fun!.

Fantastic stuff again Rene. Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks again.

I shall copy the contents of this post into a new thread in your own forum later on - we need it where it will not get lost in the mists of time.

I have opened a new thread for Rene at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 30#p150930. so please report any bugs that surface there. I am locking this thread to prevent having to duplicate anything.
