Thanks!
For "stupid" questions, you can to to the Dummies thread here:

If fact, if you scroll through the Dummies thread you might just find the answer.

Can "multi trader" be used as a "single trader" EA? I mean, just working on the attached chart and not showing the dashboard. Sorry if it was already asked.

@zentauro yes it can. If, for example, you just wanted to trade EURUSD you could reduce the currency list in the code to "EUR" "USD", and then when you run the EA set showDisplay to false in its options.

Which reminds me - Andy in my scalp basket EA I've moved the currency list into the external options (as a string that's parsed into the list) rather than the user having to change it in the code & recompile. Is that a change you'd be interested in with this EA? If so I'll implement it & send you a patch...

Thanks, i´ll try it. A 'current pair only' option would be great. EA could work as a great easy order utility once you spot a setup. I know, a humble task, far below its ambition, but very practical and comfortable for " almost manual" trading.

No pending orders after the weekend

if you leave Empty4 running 24x7 and on Monday you are wondering why there are no fresh pending orders, it might be to do with 'canTrade' - I don't see it getting set to true except on loading the EA.

I've made a small change to my copy so that changing TF should be sufficient
(didn't want do this in start() as I am experimenting during weekends and need false ticks and have isMarketClosed() to help set canTrade to false to prevent lots of warnings

Code: Select all

int init() {
	canTrade = true;

I have noticed several open positions that I would not have entered based on Bob's 10.4 template, for example today a sell for EURAUD at 1.2426.

It looks like this may have been a left over scale-in position from an earlier trade that was closed in a basket. We may have to add some cleaning up of pending positions, instead of only deleting at the end of the week.
