ManualTrader EA

Hi Igorad,

I like your EA, but I noticed one thing: this EA does not see any of the positions which were opened by another EA, but it does see positions which I opened by myself. Why?

I am not sure exactly but mau be - magic number? I mean: when you/I open any trader by ourselcves so we are openning this trade without Magic (this Ea is having Magic parameter in the settings). But if the trade is opened by some other EA so other EA may place the magic number but our EA is having Magic = 0 by default ...

But I am not sure sorry ...

Hi aim1966,

ManualTrader works with orders opened manually(Magic=0) or with orders opened by another EA(script) with the same Magic Number and the same symbol.

Hi Igorad,

Thank you for your response. I have changed the Magic Number in my EA to 0 before EA opened a short position. Unfortunately, ManualTrader did not react. At the same time it reacted on 2 other positions which I opened manually. Any ideas?

Hey Igor, Just a quick question, Will there ever be a Manual Trader EA that uses some of your indicators for trade exits?
Thanks

Hi steam1,

Please give me an idea which indicator you want to use for the trade exits.

Igor

Hey Igor, If I had to choose it would be AllTrendEnvelopes , It follows price the best when set to the next higher time frame and will resist false exits
or you could use two simultaneously for more confirmation, like AllAbsoluteStrengthTrend _v1 or AdvancedParabolic_v2, when both indicators confirm you bailout
In any case it would save a lot of on screen time and allow you to at-lest grab some of those late-nite trades.
Igor I'd like to take this moment and Thank you for all the great work you've done here, Well Done!
Thanks Steam1

Hi steam1,

Please check out the ManualTrader_v1.4 with ability to close trades by AllTrendEnvelopes_v2(ExMode = 1) and to trail stop(TrailingMode = 2).

Code:

//---- input parameters
extern string     Expert_Name          = "ManualTrader_v1.4";

extern int        Magic                =     0;    // Magic Number

extern string     tpInputs             = "===== TakeProfit settings: =====";

extern int        exBandMethod         =     0;    // Band MAs Method = 0...26 (see List of MAs) 
extern double     exBandDeviation      =   0.0;    // Bands Deviation in %
extern int        exShift              =     1;    // 0-current bar,1-previous closed bar
