AllPairTradeManager(APTM)

[DigitalCrypto]

Hi Tommaso,

Sometimes I see a broker induced error on an ordermodify ticket. (Broker's fault) I have to chase down the trade by trade history log which is ok. But would a change like this to the notification alert make sense when dealing with a lot of pairs?

Code: Select all

if(result==false)ReportError(" APTM ",slm);

Code: Select all

if(result==false)ReportError(" APTM "+Symbol()+" ",slm);

Your thoughts?

When it works for you, it is for sure a useful addition, that makes sense. I am sure this will to be help for some other users, to facilitate the controlling of the user log.

All this would do is show the chart symbol the manager is loaded onto.

Line 912 makes sure the relevant order is selected, so this should work:

Code: Select all

if(result==false)ReportError(" APTM "+OrderSymbol()+" ",slm);

you are right, I did overlook that, thank you!

It is the sort of thingy that we all overlook all the time. If this stuff were easy, then everyone would do it.

It isn't, so they don't.

Ah right. Thank you gentlemen.

Milanese, I have been thinking a pretty good idea would be to make the trailing stop begin working after the EA deletes the TP. So you enter a trade with whatever SL you want, even no SL if you wish. Then APTM moves the SL to break even and when price approaches TP by x amount of pips the EA removes the TP and the JS begins functioning.Similar to the current way it works but tailored to each situation, as TP can and often does depend on the specific pattern price is making, and in my case is never a set amount of pips.

Do you like this idea Milanese?

it is again a specialization of a special function the APTM has, sure it can make sense no doubt, but I personally find it not so important that I will add it actually.

I waited until Tommaso replied before posting. I knew what he was going to write, but wanted to make sure.

He and I have both learned this thingy from hard-won experience of doing so in the past: never respond to individual request for free coding additions to a well-established piece of software. All it does is bollocks up the initial program.

You want a custom addition? Offer to pay him for doing so privately. He is unwell and has not much energy at the moment and so is unlikely to respond but he is never going to respond to a request for a freebie here until he feels a lot better.

Not sure what I am talking about? http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 13#p164013
