Keep it up!

Those of you who can, save yourselves a re-download by copying this over the top of your existing code (copy it over the whole of bool CloseTrade(int ticket):

Also, go to void CountOpenTrades() and copy this to the very end of the function will be the only trade, just above
}//End void CountOpenTrades();

CODE: SELECT ALL
//Reselect the most recent trade. If Recovery/hedging/caterpillar are not being used, this will be the only trade
if (TicketNo > -1) OrderSelect(TicketNo, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_TRADES);

the very end of the function will be the only trade, just above
}//End void CountOpenTrades();

People all over this forum are booking their seats for entertainment. because they know that one (only one, cos there are several) of my pet hates is thickies too dim and dense to read post one in my threads properly.

Now, I am aware that what follows contains the occasional two-syllable word and that you cannot cope with these, and normally try to accommodate people offering your level of stupidity, but not on this occasion.

FROM POST 1 HERE "Visit the thread to read how the system works - this one is very simple. You can download a template to set up the chart and the one custom indi the system needs - the other two are indi's shipped with Empty4."

Which bit of this is causing you difficulty? 'Visit' - that is two syllables? 'system' - another? 'download'?

If you cannot even be arsed to read my OP's properly (and this one is very simple) then refrain from posting in the body of the thread. Insist on continuing along your chosen line of moronic stupidity and I will remove your registration here.

Also, go to void CountOpenTrades() and copy this to the very end of the function will be the only trade, just above
}//End void CountOpenTrades();

CODE: SELECT ALL
//Reselect the most recent trade. If Recovery/hedging/caterpillar are not being used, this will be the only trade
if (TicketNo > -1) OrderSelect(TicketNo, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_TRADES);

the very end of the function will be the only trade, just above
}//End void CountOpenTrades();

   }//for (int cc = OrdersTotal() - 1; cc <= 0; c`c--)
   
   //Detect Recovery and Hedging. Both HedgingInProgress and RecoveryInProgress are reset to false in start(),
   //if the call to this function results in OpenTrades == 0
   //Detect hedging
   if (BuyOpen && SellOpen) HedgingInProgress = true;
   
   //Detect Recovery.   
   if (UseRecovery && OpenTrades >- Start_Recovery_at_trades) RecoveryInProgress = true;
   if (TicketNo > -1) OrderSelect(TicketNo, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_TRADES);
}//End void CountOpenTrades();
