Hello.
I need to know if there is a way to check longs exceed shorts but only for the pair the EA is active on.
As you can see, 15 is condition checking if longs exceed shorts, but it checks all longs and shorts, of all pairs, when I only want it to check the pair of the chart it is on.
I do not need to check the number of longs or shorts, only that longs exceed shorts, and there doesn't seem to be a way to do this other than for all open trades.
Can anyone suggest how this can be done?
@xfire Your suggestion uses martingale but only when the "once per bar" condition is met. I need it to open a martingale position as soon as the previous trade is closed at stop loss, and not at the next bar.
So, a buy trade hits stoploss and a sell trade is opened immediately.
@l-andorrà I have removed completely but it doesn't address the OCO issue apparent in blocks 4 and 19.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this OCO instruction please?
The pending Buy is correct at 2 pips above the previous 2 bars, but the sell is 12.4 pips below the previous 2 bars.
@l-andorrà The stop loss remains fixed, with no breakeven.
I will be running this on multiple pairs with a separate basket close EA on another chart (so a losing trade with be offset by winning ones).
@xfire I believe the martingale function in menu only opens the martingale trade at the next open condition. I need it to open as soon as the previous trade is closes at stop loss.
Hello
I'd like to open a martingale position not when the next open condition is met, but immediately when the original position is closed at stop loss. I've tried with a loop checking the last closed position to confirm it;s stop loss (see below link) but this doesn't work correctly. Can anyone help with this?

FYI the strategy is to have pending opposite positions above and below the last candle with stop loss at the opposite position's price. Basket close at x pips. The martingale would only be used if stop loss triggered.
@l-andorrà There is no limit to the number of open positions, other than free margin.
It continues to add a position (opposite direction to last) at a higher volume if the close condition isn't met at the PSAR cross.
All positions are closed if collectively in profit at the PSAR cross, or the equity exceeds the balance by x amount, otherwise an additional position is opened.
Anything that would add additional positions as follows would be valid:
0.01 buy
0.02 sell
0.03 buy
0.04 sell
Close condition met, then new positions (following No Trade) is 0.01, and so on.
They work fine if I remove the add volume section and replace with a simple buy now / sell now. Something about the add volume is messing things up.
I suspect it's because add volume looks to the last position and decides what to do based on that rather than the buy/sell conditions. For example, if the last position was buy then the next open position (when PSAR reverses) should be sell, but add volume looks at the most recent (a buy) and adds volume to that so there are two consecutive buy positions.
Basically, I think I need the correct way to increase volume that doesn't use add volume.
Add volume causing buy/sell sequence issues
At every PSAR cross there should be either:
or
0.01 - BUY
0.02 - SELL
0.03 - BUY
0.04 - SELL
0.05 - BUY
This continues until one of the close conditions are met.
When I include 'For Each Trade' -> 'Add To Volume' it is opening a BUY when it should be a SELL, so I have two consecutive BUYS.
I removed the 'For Each Trade' -> 'Add To Volume' and replaced with a 'Sell Now' and it works OK, so the issue is with the add volume part.
So basically, if the last trade was a buy then I need to open a sell at a higher volume, not add another buy at a higher volume.
Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong please?
