orders with the broker have to be sperate, they will not let you send order+SL+TP with one command
you send order first and then modify order, at least I think that is what the problem is here.

      CloseOrdersByMagicNumber (MagicNumber); 
      ExistOrderFlag = 0;

About trading hours (TradeCandle = 2) problems may need to be adjusted.
According to the original post:http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread. ... ost7614364
London opening: 9:00 (London time, GMT)
1st Candle 9: 00-10: 00 (We do not trade here, it's the breakout)
2st Candle 10: 00-11: 00 (At the beginning of the candle we close the trade of yesterday)
At the end of the candle we open the new trade.
Buy if the candle is bullish
Sell ​​if the candle is bearish
3th Candle 11: 00-12: 00 (Here we do nothing), in fact, it can be said that at the beginning of this candle, open transactions.
So:
EA program first 141-145 lines:

Code: Select all

   if (TimeHour (TimeCurrent ()) ==TimeHour (LOTinBroker) + TradeCandle && ExistOrderFlag) 
   {
      CloseOrdersByMagicNumber (MagicNumber); 
      ExistOrderFlag = 0; 
   } 

If LOTinBroker = 9, then close the transaction time (LOTinBroker + TradeCandle) at 11:00 (3rd candle started);

EA program 152 line:
  

Code: Select all

 if (TimeHour (TimeCurrent ()) == TimeHour (LOTinBroker) + (TradeCandle + 1))

Open orders And later conditions:
   LOTinBroker) + (TradeCandle + 1) = 12: 00, then open the transaction time is set to start in the 4th candle.

   These two issues inconsistent with the original post. If there is something wrong, please correct me.
Trade luck.

Yep, I am right their with you brother! It took a little bit of thought to understand the original poster's idea. The main reason for adding the input TradeCandle was so users can set their own trading time, for example Spyderman is using the Asian session. So if u set the TradeCandle to 1 then the EA will perform according to the original post.

With TradeCandle =1 then the following will close an Order when when LOTinBroker+TradeCandle (9+1) or 10th hour is reached.

if (TimeHour (TimeCurrent ()) ==TimeHour (LOTinBroker) + (TradeCandle-1) && ExistOrderFlag) {
      CloseOrdersByMagicNumber (MagicNumber);
      ExistOrderFlag = 0;
   }

if (TimeHour (TimeCurrent ()) == TimeHour (LOTinBroker) + TradeCandle ))

Hi,Xmess7.
Your explanation is right, but I think setting of the variable should be a relative position (eg, the offset of the behind London session open candle)
In fact, I have the variable "TradeCandle" was renamed "TradeAfterOpenOffset", and still set it to 2. Means placed trade at the start of 2nd candle behind London (or other market) opened candle. Similarly, if you set it to 1, meaning that orders placed in 1st candle after the market open candle.
This is more consistent with the original post ideas, also more intuitive, and does not confuse.

Meanwhile, I will change the program as follows:

Code: Select all

if (TimeHour (TimeCurrent ()) ==TimeHour (LOTinBroker) + (TradeCandle-1) && ExistOrderFlag) {
      CloseOrdersByMagicNumber (MagicNumber);
      ExistOrderFlag = 0;
   }

Code: Select all

if (TimeHour (TimeCurrent ()) == TimeHour (LOTinBroker) + TradeCandle ))

Of course, you can not change, as long as you can remember where you are.

thanks all

trade happy
