Topic: Open additional position

Good day

Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to change the MQL code so that the EA will open a second order on open of the next candle after the entry candle. Eg my EA opens a buy at 01:00. At 01:05 the EA opens another buy, regardless of whether the trade is in profit or loss. PLEASE. PLEASE.

Re: Open additional position

Yip. Can do that. Would be interesting to know if a strategy opening a 2nd position at a different level will make more pips etc?

Re: Open additional position

You can do that in Forex Strategy Builder by setting Signal Shift = 1 for all entry indicators. It will delay the entry signals with one bar (if you are on an M5 chart). You can compare the initial strategy performance with teh 'shfted' ones.
