Well I knew it would come to this, so might as well get this started.
First off let me say ANY help is greatly appreciated. I am not a coder, I modify just about every indicator and ea that I have. Keeps me busy so I am not watching every damn tick of the charts. I am more of a cut and paste coder, I do occasionally get a working indy or ea that works how I want. But My pile of trashed code is growing.
I do look at the codesguru lessons for hints, but these is no help guide in it to specifcally solve errors, and google search will come up with 50 posible fixes but none of them seem to work ..... grrrrrrrRight now I am working on a ea that will implement my thoughts into real live trading results, yep the holy grail. Probably grow old and die before I get it right, but I'll die tryin.
Anyway first up is a simple (yea right) piece of code from a ea that you have to set the digits of the broker manually. I thought with all the samples out there how hard could it be? Well after screwing around with 50 variations ( ok slight exageration), but 5 hrs worth, it still wont work or even come out error free.
I submit for you humor, my attempt along with the original code for some help before I take the keyboard and kill the dog.
Then the wife would come home and kill me. So to prevent mutiple homicides ...... help.........Original code
Code: Select all
extern int AccDigits = 5;
int fpc()
{
if (AccDigits == 5) return (10);
if (AccDigits == 6) return (100);
return (1);
}
double PointEx()
{
if (AccDigits == 5) return (10*Point);
if (AccDigits == 6) return (100*Point);
return (Point);
}Code: Select all
// need to auto adjust for digits // ---------------------- s01
//extern int AccDigits = 5; // see above ^^^^^^^^^^^
//+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Auto Adjust for different digit criminals - put in after int section |
//+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
//Adapt to x digit criminals
//------------- orig code was at bottom ----------------------------------
void init() // copied this from below to get rid of MarketInfo - initialization expected error
{
int AccDigits = MarketInfo, chart, digits; // added chart, digits; to get rid of error
int DIGITS = MarketInfo (chart, MODE_DIGITS); // changed symbol to chart to get rid of error
// will have to test to see if it works
int fpc() // used later down
{
if (AccDigits == 4) return (1); // added a01
if (AccDigits == 5) return (10);
if (AccDigits == 6) return (100); // for future criminal adjustments
if (AccDigits == 7) return (1000); // added s01 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
return (1);
}
double PointEx()
{
if (AccDigits == 4) return (1*Point); // added s01
if (AccDigits == 5) return (10*Point);
if (AccDigits == 6) return (100*Point); // for future criminal adjustments
if (AccDigits == 7) return (1000*Point); // added s01 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
return (Point);
}
}But I get a 'AcctDigits' - variable not defined error on only the lower section of the code, below the double PointEx(). and a unbalanced parentheses errror at the end, But that does not show up in the Empty4 editor or the SciTE editor as a problem?
Again help save a few lives, help a suffering soul out ...
Thanks again in advance ..... so1 / Steve
