Hi
There were many other functions I expected to be included in this EA .There is room for improvement and additional coding
ea saves and maintains a file on the
>> computer which will contain instructions /do's and don't for all slaves.
>> I will code the slave to consult this file before making any trade.
>>> 1)The master will be created with maximum emphasis on safety and
>>> security.The master will monitor all orders sent and prevent duplicate
>>> orders and multiple orders created by ordersend functions.The master
>>> will log all orders sent and wait 10 mins before resending order. And
>>> before resending it will check orders filled and open positions , it
>>> will do the same everytime the metatrader programme reboots and will
>>> never allow orders above the maximum to be sent.
>>>
>>> 2)Sometimes, when several EAs start trading at the same time, trading
>>> functions may fail because the trading context is busy and only one EA
>>> is allowed to trade at the moment. So, other EAs will not open
>>> positions/modify orders etc. and the signal will be missed. To avoid
>>> this, you can either use WaitUntilTradingIsAllowed() function or
>>> StartTrading()/StopTrading() functions.We only had one EA.Please take
>>> care of this.
>>>
>>> 3)Your code will ensure the EA performs robustly and EA is coded to
>>> deal with situations where MT > feed is interrupted in some way. For
>>> instance, many/most EA's take no > account of MT simply being closed
>>> down and restarted - one of the most > basic requirements - and lose
>>> all their trade stats....The master will also not allow duplicate
>>> trades created by requotes in times of high volatility
>>>
>>> 4)A lot of EAS are not able to deal with requotes and platforms
>>> freezing during high volatility.The order send functions often send
>>> multiiple orders whilst the platforms are frozen.Please advise how you
>>> will code this.
>>>
>>> 5)The master will override the functions of the slave on the following
>>> commands.
>>> extern int RangeDeviation = 1; // Allowable pips +/- offset for entries
>>>> b)If EA incurs losses of more than 1% of account size in a 24 hour
>>>>
>>>> period ,disable E A. If EA incurs losses of more than 3% of account
>>>>
>>>> size in a 72 hour period ,disable E A
