Would just like to mention...if you are looking at this...you would need to consider that the signal candle is 2 candles AFTER the last fractal of the sequence.
My recommendation is to set the pending based on this candle at either the high or the low with a bit of filter, or even at the next 00 level.
Currently, i have a modified version of Fbob running with pending and expiry set as 1 hour.
Will see what happens.

Cheers

for those of you who want to use the RiskPercent as the way to calculate the lot size, perhaps this modification will be useful:

Code: Select all

double CalculateLotSize(double price1, double price2)
{
   //Calculate the lot size by risk. Code kindly supplied by jmw1970. Nice one jmw.
   
//   if (price1 == 0 || price2 == 0) return(Lot);//Just in case
   
   double FreeMargin = AccountFreeMargin();
//   double TickValue = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_TICKVALUE) ;
//   double LotStep = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_LOTSTEP);


//   double SLPts = MathAbs(price1 - price2);
//   SLPts/= Point;//No idea why *= factor does not work here, but it doesn't
   
//   double Exposure = SLPts * TickValue; // Exposure based on 1 full lot

//   double AllowedExposure = (FreeMargin * RiskPercent) / 100;
   
//   int TotalSteps = ((AllowedExposure / Exposure) / LotStep);
//   double LotSize = TotalSteps * LotStep;


   double lotstep = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_LOTSTEP);
   int lotPrecision;
   if (lotstep >= 1) lotPrecision = 0;
   else if (lotstep >= 0.1) lotPrecision = 1;
   else if (lotstep >= 0.01) lotPrecision = 2;
   else lotPrecision = 3;
   
   double LotSize = NormalizeDouble(FreeMargin / 10000 * RiskPercent, lotPrecision);
   

   double MinLots = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_MINLOT);
   double MaxLots = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_MAXLOT);
   
   if (LotSize < MinLots) LotSize = MinLots;
   if (LotSize > MaxLots) LotSize = MaxLots;
   return(LotSize);

}//double CalculateLotSize(double price1, double price1)
