it's okay to do that but you have to make sure you are 'calling' the different positions with either a different magic number , or ticket number etc. Also take into consideration that when MPTM takes a hedge, it automatically gives it a magic of '1'. you can check this by hovering over the open position and the magic number should display. Sometimes it doesnt work, just try again.

I ran a similar setup with Baluda's EA , actually FOR Baludas EA, and ran into some issues, dont know if it was MPTM or Baluda's EA.
I had MPTM on two different charts using 2 different magic numbers that were issued by the Initial EA (v1e) and then MPTM would recognise the magic and assume the next stage with it's own magic. Dont know if you follow this, i'm not the best at explaining. I am now trying Paul's version of MBTM. Seems to be handling the baskets a lot better this way.

Hope this info helps with what you're trying to do.

Hey cuz, thanks for the help

I had to go to work and when I got home it was displaying...I think there was a trade that BE wasn't set on, so maybe it wasn't working properly until the screen comments came up.
In any case, I will make sure I set a Magic Number for each chart in future.

Cheers

Shelley

being a hack coder, I tracked down the issue for commodities and Indices on MPTM.

The PFactor factor subroutine did not cater for them, and my criminal doesn't use the same code for Gold for example.

To address this I have added 3 external strings:

Code: Select all

extern string  BetPer1Pairs                  ="UK100,WS30,DAX30,NAS100,CAC40";
extern string  BetPer10thsPairs              ="GOLD,SP500";
extern string  BetPer100thsPairs             ="WTI,BRENT,SILVER,JPY";

Now I have been through my pairs and pressed F9 to open a trade. If it said "bet per 1" the pair stub went in my "BetPer1Pairs", and so on. I have done this so folks whose criminals use different names (WTI is crude for me, but it could by CL or Nymex, etc) can adapt MPTM to their platform.

I then adapted PairsQty() to return the Pairs in the 3 strings:

Code: Select all

int BetPerQty(string betper)
{
   int i = 0;
   int j;
   int qty=0;
   
   while(i > -1)
      {
         i = StringFind(betper, ",",j);
         if (i > -1)
         {
            qty ++;
            j = i+1;            
         }
      }
      return(qty);
}

Finally adapted PFactor to cycle through these pairs, and set and return the correct factor

Code: Select all

double PFactor(string pair)
{
   double Pipfactor=10000;         // correct factor for most pairs

   string betper;
   int i = 0;int j = 0; int betperqty; int k; int pf = 0;

   for(int cycle = 0; cycle <3; cycle ++){
      switch(cycle){
         case 0: betper = BetPer1Pairs; pf = 1; break;
         case 1: betper = BetPer10thsPairs; pf = 10; break;
         case 2: betper = BetPer100thsPairs; pf = 100; break;
         default: break;
      }

      if (StringSubstr(betper, StringLen(betper)-1) != ",") betper = StringConcatenate(betper,",");

      betperqty = BetPerQty(betper);
      string pairs[]; 
      ArrayResize(pairs, betperqty - 1);
      
      i=0; j=0;

      for (k = 0; k < betperqty; k ++)
      {
         i = StringFind(betper, ",",j);
         if (i > -1)
         {
            pairs[k] = StringSubstr(betper, j,i-j);
            pairs[k] = StringTrimLeft(pairs[k]);
            pairs[k] = StringTrimRight(pairs[k]);
            j = i+1;         
         }
      }


      for (k = 0; k <= ArraySize(pairs); k ++)
      {
	     if (StringFind(pair,pairs[k],0) > -1){ 
		         Pipfactor = pf ;
               Print(Pipfactor);
               return (Pipfactor);
        }
      }
   }

   return (Pipfactor);
}

No doubt you'll be able to tidy up my diseased coding, but I need something like this to get MPTM to work correctly.
