Capture.PNG

Will Add a custom command “Close all trades”,”Reverse / Hedge your position”,”Close 1/2 of your position” to your right mouse menu. It is limited to chart instrument. Will affect all accounts.

If we use “Close 1/2” and we have an odd number of positions, unbalanced number will be used. Example. If we have 5 positions, 2 will be closed. If we have 3 positions, 1 will be closed. If we have 1 positions, 1 will be closed.

Trading_commands.lua

Trading_commands_all.lua

While Trading_commands.lua is chart instrument only. Trading_commands_all will work for all instrument, will close/hedge/reverse all position regardless of the instrument.

Hi Apprentice,

Thanks for this,

Is it possible to select a different fraction to Close?

For example 1/3 or 1/4 etc.

I can see this to be an extremely helpful feature.

Best, AG

Re: Trading_commands

Apologize.

I did NOT mean to say a new “addCcommand”.

I actually meant to say ONLY MODIFY OpenMarket() to open a new position if no positions already exist.

Re: Trading_commands

APPRENTICE …… YOU ARE AMAZING !!!!!!! AWESOME !!!!!

YES … trading can be done from INDICATORS. For proof of concept, … I just hard coded OpenMarket() and it DID OpenMarket(“B”) on crossingAbove and OpenMarket(“S”) on crossingBelow the trend line.

INCREDIBLE … HARD TO BELIEVE.

Why for so many years INDICORE SDK got me confused under the impression that “STRATEGIES/ALERTS” and “INDICATORS” are 2 different separate animals (you can NOT do in one what is done in the other)?????

Why did INDICORE SDK create the distinction, …. if I can do everything I want in an INDICATOR?????

Re: Trading_commands

Apprentice · Tue Jul 18, 2017 12:08 pm

That was true once. Trade from within indicator was introduced later. Strategies still have some advantages, like, trade simulation.

Hi Greatest Apprentice:

Very much appreciate if can give me a link to a complete documentation of core.valuemap.

In the SDK, I couldn`t find any meaningful complete description of all attributes of valuemap, and ENUMERATED lists of their respective values

local valuemap = core.valuemap(); valuemap.Command = “CreateOrder”, ????? valuemap.OrderType = “OM”, “CM”, ????? valuemap.OfferID = offer_id; valuemap.AcctID = account_id; valuemap.Quantity = amount; valuemap.BuySell = “B”, “S”, ?????? valuemap.NetQtyFlag = “y”, ?????? valuemap.?????? = ??????? ????????

In STRATEGIES local tk, H0 function ExtUpdate(id, source, period) if id==tickSourceID then tk = source[period] end if id==barSourceID then H0 = source.high[period] end

– now every tick we can compare tick price with bar.high price. end

Is there an equivalent way In INDICATORS to compare tick price with bar prices ?

Follow up to my previous enquiry to have one single STRATEGY or INDICATOR applied to MULTIPLE instruments? (To eliminate having multiple instances of the same STRATEGY or INDICATOR applied to each instrument)

For example I can implement a STRATEGY or an INDICATOR to EXIT positions of a specific instrument when its RSI indicator reaches a certain level.

But don`t know how to apply it to ALL instruments without having multiple instances of the same (one for each instrument)

Much appreciated,

Re: Trading_commands

Apprentice · Sat Jan 13, 2018 7:14 am

in Prepare() You have to call the source on different instruments See Two Instrument Strategy Template.lua viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2712 You will have to replace Offer in valuemap.OfferID = Offer; with the appropriate instrument name.

But first U will have to create array will all available instruments, and do this checks for all of them.

Re: Trading_commands

7000306337 · Sat Feb 10, 2018 8:27 am

I can not thank you enough for your valuable coaching and mentor.

Is there a way to find out the time a STOP or a LIMIT was executed? (or any other way to same effect)

The reason being: Once a STOP or LIMIT is executed, I want to wait for the rest of the candle to complete and close before I enter() a new position. To prevent an endless ping-pong enter()-exit() for the rest of the candle.

For example if Im on an H1 time frame and: an enter() was executed at 11:xx oclock and exit() was executed at 12:xx oclock I do NOT want to enter() any new positions till the 13:00 oclock candle starts. Otherwise Ill have the ping-pong situation since both the enter() and exit() conditions do exist simultaneously till the end of the 12:00 oclock candle.

Sincerest Gratitude,

Re: Trading_commands

Apprentice · Sun Feb 11, 2018 5:19 am

Unfortunately Closed Trades table it does not provide information about the order type. Close time is provided, so we can use this as a reference point. With which indicator/strategy this will be used.

Re: Trading_commands

7000306337 · Sun Feb 11, 2018 9:34 pm

Cordial thanks for your valuable time and reply. Much appreciated.

I`m not using any STANDARD INDICATOR or STRATEGY.

Im struggling with a STRATEGY that Im trying to create. I got it working to enter() correctly and exit() correctly on a PegPriceOffsetPipsStop STOP or a PegPriceOffsetPipsLimit LIMIT.

The only problem left now is how to prevent entering() again till end of current candle. Because for the rest of the current candle both enter() and exit() conditions are still simultaneously valid till end of current candle which results in thousands of enter() and exactly the same number of thousands of exit().

Wish there was a way (or a work around) to limit number of enter() per candle to ONLY ONE(1) trade.

Re: Trading_commands

7000306337 · Sun Feb 11, 2018 10:05 pm

Thank you thank you ….

That is it … I will set a flag=true if enter() is executed once, to prevent entering() again. And reset flag=false on each new candle. That should work. I`ll try it.

Re: Trading_commands

7000306337 · Mon Feb 12, 2018 7:20 am

Sincerest Gratitude … can`t thank you enough for your valuable time and mentor.

Just wanted to mention that the flag on …………………………….. enter() …. worked just fine. I was trying to solve the wrong problem by trying to set a flag on ……. exit(). (there are many exits() and the STOP and LIMIT exits() are hard to track)

As always much much appreciated, Thanks again.

Thanks you very much for this indicator !

But in order to have more results, Is it possible to add these functions :

By this behaviour we secure trades with an automatic way with the breakeaven, as the same time as we have closed 75% of the position, with 25% is running if we have a market acceleration.

Hello Apprentice,

I am new here and first off, let me express my appreciation for the work you do. Thanks so much.

I see that you created this EA Trailing stop limit. It is exactly what I am looking for. My question to you is, can I disable the function to turn the stop into a trailing stop? I do not want my stop to trail.

Essentially, all I want are TWO options to:

Set SL at ‘X1’ when market reaches ‘Y1’ Close ‘X1 amount of lots’ when market reaches ‘Y1’

and

Set SL at ‘X2’ when market reaches ‘Y2’ Close ‘X2 amount of lots’ when market reaches ‘Y2’.

That’s it. This is for the Trading Station II on FXCM

Cheers!
