The spread filter has an average system built into it, you choose seconds and then an offset.

I just want to put the data into variable so I can see it function and tweak it.

So I want to use a long average spread, so keep under a pair volatility during news or close of the day. Say a daily average spread but right now I my variable doesn’t grab the spread so I can see it work. If I have a set spread that needs tweaking for every pair which I don’t want to do.

Spread filter uses seconds.
Ea input I use in minutes so, 1 x60 to convert it for the spread filter.
Offset of 10 for now while testing.

I want to display the average spread on the chart.
The average + offset.

How can I read what the spread filter is putting out in a variable form which I can modify and display?

@l-andorrà ahhh fair enough, thanks for the advice on this. I’ll park it and come back when I have more experience and knowledge.

Hi, hope someone can spare some time to assist.

Just having some issues trying to get variables to work how I want, essentially all I am doing is trying to get the average spread filter to put the average spread value into a variable so I can see it working on the chart, then add that value + the offset and display that on the chart too.

Am a bit slow, can't figure it out. The comments are just displaying information on the chart to test it's all working.

You can turn an indicator on and off visually with those blocks. The trade takes data directly and does not take the data from an indicator being put on the chart, almost like a seperate block really

True I appreciate what you are saying, but hear my out. Some prop firms require a stop loss of a maximun size of say 2%. For every trade that opens I would want to set a max stop loss of 1.9% to comply with the rules (realistically it does not matter the total risk on the account)

Trade 1 = 0.01 lots so in theory 1.9% stop loss the distance in pips is 1000 to make things easy.
Trade 2 = 0.02 lots now the stop loss would be 500 pips away.
Trade 3 = 0.03 lots and stop loss is now 333 pips away.
trade 4 = 0.04 lots with a stop of 250 pips.

My aim is not to change the stops for every trade as a basket, just have a stop distance of 1.9% in this example per trade so the bigger the lot size the shorter the stops. or an overall loss calculation but with hard stops rather than caclulated per tick based on a fraction of the account balance.

Thanks for sharing this @jstap

ohh sorry, let me try again.

Hi

Basically I run a very simple EA on my prop accounts to ensure I always have a stop loss enabled, the issue is i want to calculate that in percent say 1% and set the stop there for each trade.

Would be great if someone had the time to assist me, i know we can set it when an order opens but is there an easy way to modify an existing pips distance SL into a %SL?

Kind regards

This is pretty epic thank you

No problem I will stick to my variable martingale for now building a good base and then adding conditions, news filters and maybe some other stuff

Thank you for the assistance though

Yes, it was going to form part of my overall EA which has several parts involved but I just cannot get this to work.

If it is a lot of work and you believe it's not worth looking into don't worry too much. If you think something else is better in the long run I could research that instead.

Hello

I've been trying to create a hedging strategy as per this PDF but cannot for the life of me figure it out, can someone smart please give me a helping hand.

Basically open a buy, then if -10 pips negative open a sell x3 the lot size and close at 10 pips for profit, if the trade swings back up open another buy when the sell is -10 pips x3 from the previous "sell trade" etc etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Works for me but I use

ENUM_TIMEFRAMES and then PERIOD_H1

Optimisation works though for me

Hi Guys

I am trying to make an EA that uses martingale via the add volume from pips distance, I would like to add an option to use ADX or maybe ADR so the grid distance will be variable depending on the market conditions but cannot get it to work.

One method worked but the ADX value was positive so only added volume on the wrong side of the trade.

Any help is appreciated.

NVM I have figured it out, I was using flags instead of condition true or false

I would like to add trading percent accuracy on my chart but the only options are profit factor, trade count etc

Does anyone know how I could count my losers / winners and create a display on the chart with a percentage ratio from previous trades on that magic number?

I had trading stats on display just no clue how to do a win ratio.

Thanks.
Greatly appreciate anyone's time on this.

Hi Folks,

So basically I have created my first USDCHF 1m scalping EA I wish to further test this theory out and add grid of x amount in pips maybe 0.5 pip spacing with and without averaging profit to test each method out.

I currently do not have knowledge on how to do this properly if anyone can help that would be great, you're more than welcome to test and use my EA though if you so wish.

Scalper v1

Okay thanks for the code and advice, I think I will just stick to creating seperate EA's and not complicate things exponentially
