Feature: ability to add rules to a list
Hi, right now, I can see I might need to run 8 or so instances of this EA on my terminal, because I'd want rules for:
- for Magic X, close buy trades when they are 50 points in profit (on average and accounting for costs)
- for Magic X, close sell trades when they are 50 points in profit (on average and accounting for costs)
- for Magic Y, close buy trades when they are 100 points in profit (on average and accounting for costs)
- for Magic Y, close sell trades when they are 100 points in profit (on average and accounting for costs)
- for Magic not Z, notify me if an order is created or opened over lot size A (this condition is not yet implemented)
- when Equity <= % of snapshot, notify me (or ideally, when Equity <= % of balance, notify me - but this condition is not yet implemented)
- when Margin Level <= %, notify me (this condition is not yet implemented)
- when H1 bar closes, send me a report of floating profit/loss, floating profit/loss %, total lot size open on any instrument and in either direction, margin %, and free margin (this appears to be another new feature request, but maybe another EA can do this?)
So, I was wondering if it would make sense instead to have an Add rule button, and the rule appears below the checkboxes in a little scrollable panel, or in a pop-up window, and one could Edit or Delete rules from there, and basically have multiple rules running per instance of the EA.
I appreciate this may add quite a lot of complexity to the EA, and therefore may not be something you want to do, but I put it out there in case!
Cheers!
Hello!
I've had a thought on turning this EA into a sort of a programmable environment where conditions, actions, and filters on the platform, account, trades, and symbols could be arbitrarily combined to create systems of any complexity. And I thought that quite doable. However, I'm not sure that it's a good idea to turn the AP into that - it's best to start a new EA for that. And also, that's a lot of coding. So, I don't know when (and if) I'll start on this.
PS: Your condition 6 is already there as 'Equity <= % of balance' is the same as 'Floating loss rises to % of balance'. You just adjust the % by 100 - %. For example, if you want 'Equity <= 10% of balance', you set 'Floating loss rises to 90 % of balance'.
PPS: 'Margin Level <= %' is there.
Hi, OK, do let me know on this issue if you do complete this, even if it's in a new EA (so not in this project)!
Ah, thank you re condition 6! Good to know!
I don't see 'Margin Level <=%'. I see 'Free margin >= % of snapshot ([snapshot of free margin])', which I think is quite different. Unless it's not displaying for me? I put my screenshot on the other issue I created...
You have to enable 'Margin Level <=%' via input parameters. If you set the 'Disable margin level less or equal condition.' input parameter to false, the condition will appear on the Conditions tab.
