I finally created an EA (with the help of a 3rd party compiler:))
There are just a few modifications I need here please:
1) Must only open trades on the close of a bar (ecxept TP and SL obviously). On backtesting it seems if it only opens a trade on a bar close, but I just need a pro to make sure please
2) I have the function to open multiple trades, with a max nr set, but it opens all the max trades on the same bar, where it should open 1 only, and when it gets a new signal for the same direction (eg, EURUSD sell 1 at 1.1630, it should only open a new sell when it gets a new signal at EURUSD>1.1630+at least 10pips, now it takes the max trades within 1 pip)
3) Partial close, close 50% of the position at x amount of pips, and the balance close at an opposite signal.

Thanks again for the help

PS.
is it possible to write a "standard" function for the above requirements which I can include in all the EA's?

I ran a quick back test on the H1 and it opened it's first trade at 18:01. So it didn't open the trade at the bar close. I also didn't see anything in the code to suggest it must do this.

Yes, but implementing the functions in your EA(s) later is another issue. Also, sometimes functions need changed a little bit to work with a particular EA.

To be honest, with this EA you posted, it would be better to not even modify it. It is bloated with code that isn't used and it would be easier to just code a new EA from scratch.

that's right what you say, you have to try it right away ... maybe you have to wait until the market is off at the end of this week
