The probability depends on the input parameters chosen, see my post over here and the following posts. You can achieve 97 % under any market condition if you’re willing to wait long enough.

I would consider that statement as rather trivial, at least when taken literally. What’s its value?

Why take the open price of a certain candle into account? We already discussed that somewhere. It’s just an arbitrary choice because we need some point in time to start an analytic interval. And if it’s arbitrary, it might be discussed to choose…[Read more]

I fully agree to your doubts.

Using analogies between price dynamics and mechanical dynamics of physical bodies is always dangerous. It’s ok to use a certain word, e.g. ‘momentum’, to describe some effects in both worlds. But it’s dangerous nonsense to believe that if you use one word for two different things the math behind is the same in both…[Read more]

Have a good trip, @VlanFx!

Ok then, give me two days or so. Will call for assistance by @andymack aka fuzzy for the implementation. Don’t have much experience with the OOP approach.

@VlanFx:

Thanks for your faith in me! As you can easily see from the code I sent you recently, my coding style is quite different from yours. I would feel more confident basing my further work on the version I sent you for review, not on yours. But I’m afraid that might introduce a major break in our overall workflow. Please do not take this a…[Read more]

Yep:

This works – thanks for it!

Ok:

… and do you like this kind of work? I for myself try to avoid it.

Quite a good explanation of CrapT4 crappy price feed can be found over here:

Just a quick note about links to be studied and possibly used for coding later:

Yep:

Since structures were introduced to MQL I can’t imagine how I ever got along without them!

I think that in one EA there should be only one function that manipulates the SL. And if there’s a good reason for two different functions doing so (one trailing stop function and one break even function) we’ve got two possibilities: either implement some sort of communication protocol between those functions so they can’t work against each…[Read more]

Great work:

I tested it, and after activating DLL import it displayed a line, except for timeframe M1. When placed on an M1 chart, every second indicator buffer ImpactBuffer is empty, so no line is displayed. I failed to find the reason in 5 minutes, so I’ll just report.

One basic question: why do you exclude bar zero in your main loop in…[Read more]

One more thing: for a more elaborate example of how to use structures in practice, just study the latest news calendar version fuzzy posted lately.

Great!

As I posted somewhere else in this forum, I made the first steps of my ‘coding career’ using IBM punchcards and a language named FORTRAN 77 (now it’s up to you to make a guess about my physical age ) Anyway, OOP was not yet invented in those times.

Until now, I failed to get a good grip on the OOP approach. An experienced OOP tutor…[Read more]

One additional remark for those who are not familiar with the concept of complex data types: in my above example, I only used structure members of type double. Please note that this could be any data type:
struct trailingStopParameters {
double trailingDistance;             // trailing distance
double trailingStep;                 // tra…[Read more]

@smallcat and everybody else interested:

Maybe try to change your view on our community project for a short while: consider we’re not only coding one EA, but a collection of flexible and exchangeable trading software modules instead. The overall goal of these modules should be to facilitate coding an EA, and the EAs which are the result of our…[Read more]
