Hi guys,

sorry for the absence. We are finishing a project at work that is already overdue so I haven’t had time for anything else these days.

Currently Missing functions from the EA are:

Hi @simplex

Yes, there are several ways to do this, but can not say I really like either of them:

– keeping track of partially closed orders in some kind of list as you suggested. Here I would suggest using out-of-ea storage place so the ea can continue to work even after ea/mt4/windows restart.

– using order comment to store order’s initial…[Read more]

1. Each instance act as a stand-alone and try to fetch the CAL file. If file already exist, the instance returns. File fetching is done on Daily basis.

2. Daily RELEVANT CAL file (only EUR & USD events loaded in case of EURUSD EA) is loaded into memory with unique name (i.e. EURUSD_CAL_DDMMYY).

3. EA instance access that memory file.

That’s…[Read more]

1) will need big space (using many different file name, although we can delete it later, but that is extra work)

2) ==

3) may be can reduce conflict of read⁄write in number 2)

4) i think should be ok … the master process can be changed⁄replace by slave process after master’s job is finish (a slave becomes a master process if nee…[Read more]

That’s great, @Emonts:

Please note that not all of my above remarks are necessarily relevant for our EA.

Re. my remark about symbol prefix / suffix, @VlanFx would better decide what to do before you put together some sort of ‘final version’ for the EA. I just wanted to denote that there’s some redundant logic in your function code and the…[Read more]

@Emonts:

I’ve done a quick and dirty code review now and like to post some remarks for discussion:

EventKillTimer() missing
symbol prefix / suffix is checked inside function getNewsInfoPair(). Better remove this for Penguin EA use (redundant logic!)
panel object is not being deleted while deinitialization
custom enumeration for numeric…[Read more]

Ok, let’s talk about News Calendar Integration a bit.

Since I haven’t seen the code Emonts mentioned in his latest post yet, I continued to work through Derk Wehlers FFCal solution to get a grip on that one.

I found one interesting comment in his code which I’d like to discuss here:

Set AllowWebUpdates to false when using in another EA or Chart,…

@Emonts, I think you can post it here. More people have more time to test it. When they ‘OK’ it, I will add it.

regarding the pre-trading conditions: FFCal -> @Emonts contacted me by PM and sent me a mqh file for this with example on how to call the functions. Now he’s fixing it so it works with prefix/postfix pairs. So this one is covered. Max.
