Hi

It's a bug in the latest version : Steve I think the code should be this

Code: Select all

bool LookForLongTrend(int tf)
{
   /*
   Returns true if Slope and Woh trend are up, else returns false
   - Slope must be >= 0.4
   - Woh must be green   
   */
   
   if (tf == PERIOD_D1)
   {
      if (D1SlopeVal < 0.4) return(false);
      if (D1WohVal <= 0) return(false);
      if (WeeklyDirection != up) return(false);
   }//if (tf = PERIOD_D1)

   if (tf == LowerTimeFrame)
   {
      if (LtfSlopeVal < 0.4) return(false);
      if (LtfWohVal <= 0) return(false);
      if (WeeklyDirection != up) return(false);
   }//if (tf = LowerTimeFrame)
   
   
   //Got this far without returning false, so must be in trend
   return(true);

}//End bool LookForLongTrend(int tf)


bool LookForShortTrend(int tf)
{
   /*
   Returns true if D1 Slope and Woh trend are down, else returns false
   - Slope must be <= -0.4
   - Woh must be red   
   */
   
   if (tf == PERIOD_D1)
   {
      if (D1SlopeVal > -0.4) return(false);
      if (D1WohVal >= 0) return(false);
      if (WeeklyDirection != down) return(false);
   }//if (tf = PERIOD_D1)
   
   if (tf == LowerTimeFrame)
   {
      if (LtfSlopeVal > -0.4) return(false);
      if (LtfWohVal >= 0) return(false);
      if (WeeklyDirection != down) return(false);
   }//if (tf == LowerTimeFrame)
   
   
   //Got this far without returning false, so must be in trend
   return(true);

}//End bool LookForShortTrend(int tf)

instead of this

Code: Select all

bool LookForLongTrend(int tf)
{
   /*
   Returns true if Slope and Woh trend are up, else returns false
   - Slope must be >= 0.4
   - Woh must be green   
   */
   
   if (tf == PERIOD_D1)
   {
      if (D1SlopeVal < 0.4) return(false);
      if (D1WohVal <= 0) return(false);
      if (WeeklyDirection <= up) return(false);
   }//if (tf = PERIOD_D1)

   if (tf == LowerTimeFrame)
   {
      if (LtfSlopeVal < 0.4) return(false);
      if (LtfWohVal <= 0) return(false);
      if (WeeklyDirection <= up) return(false);
   }//if (tf = LowerTimeFrame)
   
   
   //Got this far without returning false, so must be in trend
   return(true);

}//End bool LookForLongTrend(int tf)


bool LookForShortTrend(int tf)
{
   /*
   Returns true if D1 Slope and Woh trend are down, else returns false
   - Slope must be <= -0.4
   - Woh must be red   
   */
   
   if (tf == PERIOD_D1)
   {
      if (D1SlopeVal > -0.4) return(false);
      if (D1WohVal >= 0) return(false);
      if (WeeklyDirection <= down) return(false);
   }//if (tf = PERIOD_D1)
   
   if (tf == LowerTimeFrame)
   {
      if (LtfSlopeVal > -0.4) return(false);
      if (LtfWohVal >= 0) return(false);
      if (WeeklyDirection <= down) return(false);
   }//if (tf == LowerTimeFrame)
   
   
   //Got this far without returning false, so must be in trend
   return(true);

}//End bool LookForShortTrend(int tf)

It's OK now for me.

Hi Phil

Any chance you could please post with the fix?

Cheers

Steve

Hmmm...It's up to steve to do that ! It's his home here

but you can Cut and paste the code and compile it !

hello Steve, i've tried version 1n, its great cos the stoploss works well..i put 75 in the stoploss field n it works very well..but there's a problem, i had a short eur/usd trade that went to 100pips profit cos it hit the tp of the weekly support...after that...no more short eur/usd trades even though the conditions were met.. so missed out on the continued downward moves. do i have to set "every tick mode" to true? also for version 1t, i put the stoploss of 75 pips..but the ea uses a 7.5pip stop...i tried using 750pips..n same thing..the ea still uses a 7.5pip stop. very weird. appreciate your help as always. thanks.

Steve The last version has always the bug I mentionned in this post : I just saw you took the wrong code just before I edit my post for StopLevel SL/TP calculation it's Bid-take <= Stoplevel*Point) and NOT Bid-take <= Stoplevel/Point) 4 times in calculate SL BUY/SELL and Calculate TP Buy/Sell.

There seems to be an issue with the partial close function somewhere (I am pretty sure this wasn't there prior to version 1s). My orders are for 0.03 lots, close_lots 0.01, preserve_lots 0.01. It seems to close 2 parts of the order very quickly and even at a loss, then can't adjust the SL and continually modifies it between 2 values - see below. I will take a look at the code in the morning (UK time) and hopefully work out what is going on! partial close.JPG order modify.JPG EDIT - it may be that Philippe has just posted the answer above whilst I was writing this - looking at the timing I just didn't refresh.

No it's due to prior Steve's modification on JumpingStopLoss() Steve I have to restore line code for BUY -> if (sl < OrderOpenPrice() ) return;//Not at breakeven yet and for SELL -> if (sl > OrderOpenPrice() ) return;//Not at breakeven yet and this line is quite enigmatic for me - Always return 0 no ? Code: Select all `if (sl == 0) sl = MathMin(sl, OrderOpenPrice());//No hidden stop loss line`

can anyone suggest what to look at for a solution to the problem that my platform has only opened 'WPC range trades'? (no trend trades for 5 days running on several charts.)

FYI, I exerienced the same issue with the partial close... I only noticed because I saw a "half trade" floating in the negative which is impossible if I understand the partial close feature correctly... i.e., you would only ever have your full position size floating in the negative, not a partial one...
