HI im running a trade alert-er and it was working fine until a week ago it just stopped sending notifications went into the terminal and tested it, seems to work but when the ea passes that field nothing happens?

@ambrogio Wow i feel like a real chop, thanks, clearly working late nights on this has made my eyes lazy and missed such a small error.

i tried reversing the group number to 3,2,1 on each trade and Trail and that seemed to have fixed the problem.

Thanks for the reply

CAn anyone help im having this issue and its only started recently.
I have 3 trades opened with different TP and each has its own group number ie 1,2,3

But when these blocks run on mt4 or mt5 it only trails group 1,2 not the third trade can anyone help?

Could anyone show what a simple custom combo box code would look like.

Got it just need to print ATR_multiplier

Comment1=(string)Commentlong_1+",MagicNo"+(string)OrderMagicNumber()+",ATR"+(string)NormalizeDouble(ATR_in_pips,2)+",ATRMultiple"+(string)ATR_Multiplier;

Please help i cant get ATR to print with only 2decimals and ATRMultiple doesnt show at all.

Comment1=(string)Commentlong_1+",MagicNo"+(string)OrderMagicNumber()+",ATR"+(string)ATR_in_pips+",ATRMultiple"+(string)ATR_Multiplier;

This is what it writes in comment RIK,MagicNo131,ATR2.2571428[sl] (needs ATRMultiple)

Does anyone know if its possible to take your old trade history and simulate it in mt4 strategy tester and then apply different stops and tp's,

I would think you would take the history on csv and sort out each currency paid then import that into some sort of file that takes the Buy time and lot size and places the trade on the strategy tester, then you would have SL and TP to test different results.

Does this make sense. So we want to see if we apply different management to our current style would we get better results by only changing money/lot since and SL management.

Any thoughts on how?

Iv been trying to filter by comment or bucket ID (colour) but with no luck.

Also would love to know what goes into filter condition. is it Comment? or code like OrderComment (unknown,20) bla bla.

An answer to this would be great.

tried this but now on the second multi level stop it takes out the rest of the trade.

Please look at this and let me know why its moving the stop from BE +2 to orginal stop once step 14,15,16 are Hit

@fxdreema said in How to make Terminate function reference the current symbol:

ick fxDreema a little bit, and you can write MQL4 code between those. If you can see at the output source code, you can probably better understand what is going on. But why double " and then +, and then + and again ""... it doesn't matter, just accept that it works that way. Use these when you want to put functions and other MQL4 stuff between them, but keep them at the beginning and at the

Thank you for taking your time in answering my question. That was thorough

Thanks this worked but now how do i get it to terminate with a custom message from the other blocks.

should i just create multiple terminate functions with each message? will that work?

Really appreciate the quick response.

Re: Alert Messages

Hi

Im trying to get the Terminate function to reference the current symbol iv tried a string variable but cant get it too work.

i would also like it to reference the alert message in the terminate terminal aswel

USDZAR has terminated due to "1 of 3 custom messages from alert"

Please advise i'm not technical so need it step by step (Sorry)
