I have added the option to use ATR to calculate MaxMovementAllowedPips. This will override any value that you input into the variable. The default inputs calculate ATR on the D1 using a 20 period that equates to one month of trading. The updated version is in the post 1 zip and I attach it here as well.
It is a simple DIY. Do a search for:
extern int MaxMovementAllowedPips=50;
Insert this underneath:
Code: Select all //Using ATR to calculate MaxMovementAllowedPips
extern bool UseMmaAtr=true;
extern int MmaAtrPeriod=20;
extern ENUM_TIMEFRAMES MmaAtrTimeFrame=PERIOD_D1;
extern int MmaPercentOfAtrToUse=100;
Go to this function: bool confirmMaxPipsMovementIsOk(string symbol, int pairIndex, int type)
Scroll down to below the 'getBasics(symbol);' command and add this code block:
Code: Select all //Using ATR to calculate MaxMovementAllowedPips.
//This overrides any user input to MaxMovementAllowedPips
if (UseMmaAtr)
{
double atrVal = getAtr(symbol, MmaAtrTimeFrame, MmaAtrPeriod, 0) * factor;
atrVal= (atrVal * MmaPercentOfAtrToUse) / 100;
MaxMovementAllowedPips = (int) atrVal;
}//if (UseMmaAtr)
for (int pairIndex = 0; pairIndex <= ArraySize(tradePair) - 1; pairIndex++)
Replace the code block with this:
Code: Select all for (int pairIndex = 0; pairIndex <= ArraySize(tradePair) - 1; pairIndex++)
{
string symbol = tradePair[pairIndex];//Makes typing easier
text = tradePair[pairIndex] + " " + hgiStatus[pairIndex];
if (UseMmaAtr)
{
getBasics(symbol);
double atrVal = getAtr(symbol, MmaAtrTimeFrame, MmaAtrPeriod, 0) * factor;
atrVal = (atrVal * MmaPercentOfAtrToUse) / 100;
MaxMovementAllowedPips = (int) atrVal;
text = text + ": MaxMovementAllowedPips = " + IntegerToString(MaxMovementAllowedPips);
//text = text + ": ATR = " + DoubleToStr(atrVal, digits);
}//if (UseMmaAtr)
SM(text + NL);
}//for (int pairIndex = 0; pairIndex <= ArraySize(tradePair) - 1; pairIndex++)
