AutoTrading Scheduler
- Thread starter Enivid
- Start date
- Watchers 35
Version 1.01 of the AutoTrading Scheduler has been released. It implements multiple important changes:
- Added optional alerts when AutoTrading is toggled. (@jaypebe74)
- Added non-enforced schedule mode to only toggle AutoTrading when a new period stats or ends. (@hinde.usr)
- Added input parameters with default values for all panel fields. This will simplify setup and copying the panel settings from one platform to another.
- Optimized processing of chart timeframe/symbol change.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the panel from maximizing after minimization. (@Tylergibson)
- Fixed a bug that could cause multiple triggers when the scheduler was set to close trades.
- Fixed a bug with deletion of leftover chart objects from a previously crashed ATS panel.
- Removed the PanelOnTopOfChart parameter. This should be handled by chart settings.
Excellent work!
I have two suggestions:
1. To give the option to only disable auto trading if there are no open trades (it should wait until trades have closed then disable auto trading, as long as it's still within the specified time to disable auto trading)
2. To give the option to disable auto trading by specific date, not just days of the week
Thanks!!!!

Hi there - using Account Protector as well. I have noticed in the past when using an "equity protector" if the auto scheduler is set, equity is hit, the terminal will disable auto trading but enable again because auto scheduler says run during the time. Is there a way around this?

Yes, in the new version of the AutoTrading Scheduler, you can untick the Always enforce schedule checkbox and the Scheduler will only enable/disable during the border time.
hello, I drag the EA to the chart but, nothing happen, the import External DLL is check, what can I do?
Please check the output in the Experts tab when you try to attach the EA to the chart. However, the likeliest reason is that you have to re-compile the EA's source code.
I just tested the EA and it closed all trades (as I configured it that way) when reaching the local time I configured it to stop the trading, but other EA's opened trades again immediately. How to disable ALL trading after the EA closing the trades (automatically by the EA I mean). There is no configuration option for this? No possibility to disable the Automated Trading button or even close the whole terminal? Can somebody maybe implement that functionality? Thx - Johan

Did it fail to disable Autotrading?
However, the schedule you have there means that it will re-enable Autotrading in 1 minute (disable at 23:59, enable at 00:00).
I tested yesterday (Tuesday) and I configured it to disable trading (and close trades) in a few minutes time.
The other days I had indeed set to 0:00-23:59 (although it's better to set it to: 0:00-0:00 if you want it to trade continually
without interference or trades closed.
What I noticed was that the EA tries to close trades FIRST and THEN disable Automated Trading (the button).
But when it closed the trades, some EA's immediately opened trades again before the Automated trading was disabled.
I checked the code and found the problem in one of the the .mqh files. I changed the order. I will try to attach my changed version
here. Replace this file with my changed version in the directory where it is now or before copying it to the right directory
(in the Experts folder).

How do you think the Scheduler will be able to close the trades if you disable auto-trading first?
hello, one question. how can i schedule the trades so that it trades with different lot sizes?
for example, during NY session i want to trade with 0.10 lot size but during US session with 0.01 on the same account with the option to close all trades before disabling it, is that possible?
i opened two instances of MT4 on the same account and placed Autotraindg Scheduler for 2 different trading hours but as it closed all open trades disabling it obviously cant run properly. any idea?

AutoTrading Scheduler doesn't trade at all, so I'm not sure what you mean by different lot sizes. If you are using a second EA that trades, you should modify its code to change the position size it uses.
It looks like there is some problem with the WinUser32.mqh library in your MT4 installation. That's where the SendMessageW function is declared and imported.
For Monday: 00:30-00:00.
For Tuesday through Thursday: 00:00-00:00.
For Friday: 00:00-18:00.
Empty for Saturday and Sunday.
