Thanks for a really helpful contribution.  I have added the fix to 1c in post 1. Remember folks, if you are updating from post 1, to delete the existing .ex4 file to force recompilation when you restart the platform.
I have added a slightly different solution to Fourxxxx's, so the easiest DIY is to copy the entire function over the top of the existing one:
Code: Select all bool UsingHgiToCloseTrade(int ticket)
{
//Returns 'true' if HGI generates an opposite signal, else 'false'
if (!BetterOrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_TRADES))
return(false);
int shift = 0;
if (HgiOnlyConfirmedSignalsC)
shift = 1;
//No need to read the previous candle at every timer event
static datetime OldBarTime = 0;
if (!HgiOnlyConfirmedSignalsC)
OldBarTime = 0;//Force a read at every timer event.
if (OldBarTime == iTime(OrderSymbol(), HgiTimeFrameC, 0) )
return(false);
OldBarTime = iTime(OrderSymbol(), HgiTimeFrameC, 0);
SIGNAL signal = 0;
SLOPE slope = 0;
//HgiStatus = hginosignal;
//The HGI library functionality was added by tomele. Many thanks Thomas.
signal = getHGISignal(OrderSymbol(), HgiTimeFrameC, shift);//This library function looks for arrows.
slope = getHGISlope (OrderSymbol(), HgiTimeFrameC, shift);//This library function looks for wavy lines.
if (OrderType() == OP_BUY)
{
if (signal==TRENDDN && HgiCloseOnLargeArrowsC)
{
//HgiStatus = hgidownarrowtradable;
return(true);
}
else
if (slope==TRENDABOVE && HgiCloseOnBlueWavyC)
{
//HgiStatus = hgibluewavyshort;
return(true);
}
}//if (OrderType() == OP_BUY)
if (OrderType() == OP_SELL)
{
if (signal==TRENDUP && HgiCloseOnLargeArrowsC)
{
//HgiStatus = hgiuparrowtradable;
return(true);
}
else
if (slope==TRENDBELOW && HgiCloseOnBlueWavyC)
{
//HgiStatus = hgibluewavylong;
return(true);
}
}//if (OrderType() == OP_SELL)
//Yellow wavy closure
if (HgiCloseOnYellowWavyC)
if (slope==RANGEABOVE || slope == RANGEBELOW)
return(true);
//Got this far, so no signal
return(false);
}//End bool UsingHgiToCloseTrade(int ticket
