Do we have this type of script available?

Post by HannesJoubert »

Hi Team, I hope everyone is well? Been a long year of trying to *still* crack the FX algorithm.

I have been looking through the forum for a script to help me in my scalping efforts. Specifically a "close and reverse current order script"

I use a drag and drop entry script that Steve coded for me, that has a fixed SL for all trades with % equity as trade size, for simplicity, so, I was hoping to find a script that would mirror those settings, but in the opposite direction, for the sake of speed of execution.

Hang on, brain fart, :smile: @SteveHopwood, Steve, what do you think, I think it may actually be a better bet to take the buy & sell scripts that you have coded for me and to add a line in the code that would close any open trades on the chart at the time of initiation? That way, if I find a need to go in an opposite direction, I can have the script close the current open order, and open the new order in the other direction. Better solution than creating a brand new script, which is what I am asking for, or no?

I hope I am clear in what I am saying, it is a party in my head, but you are invited.. :xm:

The opinion of the Team would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry Hannes. I have only just seen this.

This would be easy to adapt but I cannot find the scripts I coded for you. Post them here and I will do the relevant coding.

Read the effing manual, ok?

Afterprime is the official SHF broker. Read about them at https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=175790#p175790.

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. pianodoodler@hotmail.com is the account.

Hi Steve, thank you for your message.

You are very kind. I will PM you so that we do not clutter up the board with nonsense.

Talk soon.
