This is part of a PM I received from Thomas earlier.

Hi Steve.

Three of my 4 tests still didnt close their trades on Friday. Holy did, while Griddy, Peaky and Crossy refused.

Anyone else experience the failures?

I have made the changes suggested by radar http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 49#p161249 to the entire family apart from Moving, which was a failure from the start. I have also made the changes to the shell.

There is no hurry to re-download as these changes only affect the Friday/Saturday closure functions.

It is easy to DIY. Do a search for, "void ShutDownForTheWeekend()" and copy this over the top of the entire function:

Code: Select all

void ShutDownForTheWeekend()
{

   //Close/delete all trades to be flat for the weekend.
   
   int day = TimeDayOfWeek(TimeLocal() );
   int hour = TimeHour(TimeLocal() );
   bool CloseDelete = false;
   
   //Friday
   if (day == 5)
   {
      if (hour >= FridayCloseAllHour)
         if (TotalCashUpl < 0)
         {
      	   if (TotalCashUpl >= MaxAllowableCashLoss)//MaxAllowableCashLoss is a negative number
               CloseDelete = true;
         } //if (TotalCashUpl < 0)
   }//if (day == 5)
 
   //Saturday
   if (day == 6)
   {
      if (hour >= SaturdayCloseAllHour)
         if (TotalCashUpl < 0)
         {
      	   if (TotalCashUpl >= MaxAllowableCashLoss)//MaxAllowableCashLoss is a negative number
               CloseDelete = true;
         } //if (TotalCashUpl < 0)
   }//if (day == 6)
   
   if (CloseDelete)
   {
      CloseAllTrades(AllSymbols, AllTrades);
      if (ForceTradeClosure)
         CloseAllTrades(AllSymbols, AllTrades);
      if (ForceTradeClosure)
         CloseAllTrades(AllSymbols, AllTrades);
   }//if (CloseDelete)
      

}//End void ShutDownForTheWeekend()

Hey Steve,

The gears in my noggin were slowly grinding, and I realised that,

Code: Select all

if (TotalCashUpl < 0)
{
...
}

would only allow baskets with a floating loss to close... Baskets with floating profit will stay open over the weekend.

Ahh, the joys of of sporadic coding

My memory is like one of them round things with holes in it...
It starts with "S"...

Swiss cheese! My memory's like a wheel of Swiss cheese!

Take care,
&
Have fun! =8^)

I had completely forgotten radar's post just above this one - or maybe missed it. Sorry radar. Thomas just sent me a pm pointing out the same thingy.

This bloody function is starting to seriously annoy me. We are talking pre-infant school level coding. Morons banned for life from SHF could have coded it, yet I have fucked it up at ever stage of the way.

I have made the required changes to the entire family apart from Moving, which was a failure from the start. I have also made the changes to the shell.

Ever heard the phrase, "Don't shoot the messenger?"

The next messenger about this bloody function had better be wearing Gracie as body armour.
