//+------+ //|BollTrade //+------+ #property copyright "Ron Thompson" #property link "http://www.lightpatch.com/forex" // This EA is NEVER TO BE SOLD! //3g - added refreshrates in order close sections matching the order open sections //3g - changed CurrTime in logwrite() to gregorian format //3g - changed TradeComment and MagicNumber //3g - changed logging and logerrs default to true //3g - added logwrite of blank line when opening orders to create visual seperation in log //3g - added logwrite of data excursions outside upper and lower bollinger bands //3g - cleaned up some blank line spacing //3g - added halfPip variable, but not using it just yet //3h - changed LossLimit to 39(+1) and BDistance to 14(-1) //3h - added 500mS delay after order errors //3h - added Compounding to increase orders as peak rises. (Wow!) //3h - no longer using TradeAllowed on a per-bar basis //3h - no longer using OnlyOneOrder //3h - removed halfpip //3h - added Comment to tell the EA is alive //3i1 - added OrdersPerSymbol to break out of close loops // (use Symbol() and MagicNumber so it'll play nice with other EAs) //3i1 - added CloseEverything and associated BasketProfit/Loss code //3i1 - added breakeven and trailingstop //3i1 - added 'if' to logging during BUYme and SELLme calculations //3i1 - added equity check as well as user input for equity level //3i1 - changed Deviation to a double in prep for floating point bollinger //3i1 - added a loop counter while closing trades, out in 25 seconds //3i2 - changed AccountEquity and it's minimum to AccountFreeMargin and MinFreeMargin //3i3 - Added Ben's volume for bar0 and bar1 //3i3 - changed magicnumber and tradecomment //3i3 - changed Bollinger to MA + StdDev (to the penny - same as Bollinger) //3i3 - restored StartingBalance calculation instead of the fixed 1402$ entry //3i4 - added LL2SL to remove embedded constant (LossLimit to StopLoss server spread) //3i4 - fixed trailing stop. It's been broken a loooooong Time //3i4 - added Trade on Friday to stay out of much news and NFP //3j - released 3i4 with one change to closeall //3j1 - using CloseBuy and CloseSell so that CloseAll had same loops as profit and loss //3j2 - added IsTesting() and KillLogging to logwrite. Too many full disk drives //3j2 - added MAXLOT when calaculating lot size //3j2 - added ExtraComment string for user, appends to TradeComment // WARNING! This affects the file name that is generated for logging //3j2 - added CompoundStep to allow Compounding in >1pip steps //3k - changed MinEquity to a percent of account balance // makes it more correct as account grows with compounding //3k1 - removed VolumeMin //3k2 - removed min and max orderequity as compounding causes it to report erronously //3k2 - finally got minEquity working correctly //3k2 - every new bar resets CompoundTrack to zero //3k2 - reworked CompoundTrack as an increment to bup/bdn instead of a Bid price // MaxOpenOrders went from 152 to 12 - MUCH better //3k2 - CloseAll now uses Symbol() and MagicNumber //3k2 - Added HELP to the EXTERNs - lets see how people like it. //3m - release //3m3 - added avoidance times //3m3 - removed TradeOnFriday, as it is redundant with avoidance times //3m2 - Proved TimeSinceOpen has no benificial effect, distribution after open too even //3m2 - removed Equity pos neg and zero as statistics were bad for compounding //3m2 - removed OrdersBuy and OrdersSell as they are unused // user input // "12345678901234567890123456789012345678901";
