MT5 EA for market watch and multiple timeframes ?

[DroidM]

Is it possible to have an EA attached on a single chatt and have it trade across all the pairs on the market watch and across multiple timeframes ?

 

[Enivid]

Yes, it is possible.

 

[DroidM]

Yes, it is possible.

In MQL5 ? If yes, could you please share how ?

To open a trade in another currency pair you just substitute _Symbol with something else in the CTrade's PositionOpen method. E.g.:

Trade.PositionOpen(_Symbol, ORDER_TYPE_BUY, Lots, Ask, SL, TP);

becomes:

Trade.PositionOpen("AUDUSD", ORDER_TYPE_BUY, Lots, Ask, SL, TP);

To analyze data from other currency pairs and timeframes, you just use iOpen(), iHigh(), iLow(), iClose() with whatever parameters (symbol/timeframe) you want.

Can i create a function called symbols1 in which i can create an infinite loop of all the market watch symbols and have it return a string ? Same with timeframes ? So with every tick the EA is watching all pairs and all timeframes for my setup

Yes, you can loop through all symbols (either only those in Market Watch or ALL symbols present in your broker's server) and do whatever you want with them.

Reading a help file on SymbolsTotal() function will guide you.

I've been trying to code my strategy into an EA and i use all symbols and all timeframes when using my scalping strategy, i've been trying to do the same with the EA and end up with some error, i am still a little new to coding and my code may be completely wrong but someone help me out. If im using iRSI for example, i want to enter sym for symbol and and TF for period in the parameters.

int symbol= SymbolsTotal(1);
  for(int sym=0;sym<symbol;sym++)
 
  ENUM_TIMEFRAMES period[10]={PERIOD_M1,PERIOD_M2,PERIOD_M3,PERIOD_M4,PERIOD_M5,PERIOD_M6,PERIOD_M10,PERIOD_M12,PERIOD_M15,PERIOD_M20};
  for(int TF=0;TF<10;TF++)

The general idea seems to be correct. So what's the problem?
