I'm a programmer, but not done MT4 in years, plan is....... Leave my PC running MT4 when it sees a trade which I'll place manually but sometimes there, sometimes a tablet far far away, it'll set a SL and trail via my SL rules. Stops me being lazy, removes some fear and time to enter SL on the tablet is slow. Anyone ?? I can modify to suite!! Thanks
Just need to nick some code to get me started, been about 10years since I messed with MT4. I need Syntax for .................... What Contract ( DAX, GBPUSD, US500, US30, AUS200 ) so I can use the right Decimals. Value Low and High of Envelope 20ema 0.03% for SL placement ( Max 10 away, Min 6 ) ( just EMA +/- 0.03% if no envelope available ) If no SL set, then Set SL. Move SL up as Envelope goes up. Working this week, Coding at clients, get on it Monday next week, 1 way of stopping me, let trades run against me and force good trades, bad trades SL 6 when made. 20min task
These things are pretty basic. Sample codes are available online. You should try to come up with some codes. If it's not working then I will be able to help.
Found most of the commands in a quick google yesterday, knock it up sunday night when markets are open, make sure it moves the SL right on a demo account. 30ema based, unless 10ema is X above / below for fast markets, then it’ll track that. As long as PC is on, instant ass protection
Basic Version written, Just SL 10pts but works on all markets, test then improve Sunday night when things start moving, need demo account 15mins so far, likely another hour to put some brains behind it maybe 2.
