trying to use the "GET" function

Post by traderduke »

Coders
Steve, thank you for the files you provided to assist us in our learning to program our own EAs. I tried to slip the "GET" into my old EA but failed. http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 34#p131734

I’m trying to be able to run this EA on one TF chart and trade on a higher TF, I know it sounds familiar.

I have tried to do the “GET”, using Steve’s buffer & eperiments script but I can’t get it to trade. I have provided my OLD V3 non mtf EA to show it trades.

Try using the V3 EA ootb and the following inputs on the crap tester, GJ-H4- 1-1-15 till today.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank You

Ray

Hi.

You got the icustom call wrong. There must be an "" input after the indi name. And there are only 6 boolean inputs.

Code: Select all

   return(iCustom(symbol, tf, "RK-TDI_mtf_v1.06-forEA", "", rsipd, rsipr, rsiplp, rsiplm, rsislp, rsislm, vbpd, vbma, vbmp,
         false, false, false, false, false, false, buffer, shift));
That reads the buffers and it trades.

Cheers
Happy pippin, Thomas :-BD

Brilliant to see you getting your hands dirty traderduke.

Once you have worked out how to get your head around this stuff, you will never be sorry. I promise.

Every time you work out a problem, with or without help, you will add to your knowledge and experience. Coding will become easier and easier.

Sadly, you will then come hard up against the problem that I have never managed to beat: it is not the how to code a thingy, but the what to code.

Hey ho. If life were easy, then we would have the world ruled by President Amoeba.

It isn't, so we don't.

At least you are learning to make your life slightly easier. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
