Hi - can we get a bit more context? What's the name of the EA that you got these from?

Hi,

I have attached the EA that I was looking for the meanings. I got this EA from http://www.tradingsystemforex.com as a elite member.

Thanks

Your best bet would be to go back to http://www.tradingsystemforex.com/ and ask them for some documentation of their EA. There's no way for us to decipher a closed/compiled ex4 file. (It's possible to decompile the ex4, but that will be uncommented gibberish code, and won't tell us anything without painstaking and difficult interpretation of the gibberish.)

Hi

I got the PM that http://www.tradingsystemforex.com/ mod has died and that forum is also about die too.
Sorry for the ex4. I have now attached the mq4 version and pls tell us the parameters meanings. I find it this forum is active and looks everyone is professional. If this is not okay to ask the question here then pls let me know where to ask the question?

Thanks!

As you might expect, trailingstart is the pips required to activate the trailing stop, trailingstop is the trailing stop (# pips behind max favorable price), etc.

Code: Select all

extern double trailingstart=0; // profit in pips required to enable the trailing stop
extern double trailingstop=0;  // trailing stop
extern double trailingstep=1;  // margin allowed to the market to enable the trailing stop
extern double breakevengain=0; // gain in pips required to enable the break even
extern double breakeven=0;     // break even
But it looks like it has several modes of operation -- basket stops, ATR-scaled stops, stops based on the H-L range, etc. These are specified by setting params like tstfactor, tsfactor, begfactor, and befactor, etc.

It would take a fair amount of time to dig into this thing and reverse-engineer what it's doing, even though it is fairly cleanly written. I suspect somewhere on the forum there is a description of it, probably better than I would come up with from reading the code. Especially since I don't have time to read the code.
