Hmmmmm....... just thinking, out loud, here.

What about the buy script first attempts to place a BUYLIMIT at the value of the previous HIGH (no spread included) and if that fails goes ahead and makes a Market Buy.....? One script to get the best price on a Green Rat buy.

Or even,
1) try BUYLIMIT w/o spread included
2) try BUYSTOP w/o spread included
3) if all else fails, buy at market

I guess if #2 is successful, we would have gotten a better price at Market thus been better off with #3.

I'm not asking you write all of this, I'm just asking your opinion on whether this would be a better take..

I changed the code to make a BUYLIMIT order and tested that. The buy was finally made a couple of 5min candles later and I did make a couple of pips off of it.

I always assumed a green rat would go long when the bid touches the high price. Not the ask. But since the rules don't mention that, it does not matter, I guess. ;)

But if you like, I could implement this:

p = High[1]

p < Bid: buy limit at p
Bid <= p <= Ask: buy at market (at Ask)
p > Ask: buy stop at p

and similar for the short.

I think that's what I'm thinking!! :lol:

I'm just a green rat apprentice. I may be envisioning incorrectly.
Thanks, blubbb

I just made another 6.9 pips using your SL script, inching up the sl to follow a green rat!!!

Great. :D

But I think you also had a great idea with these scripts.
I just did not have the time to implement the newest change. Here you go.

Pretty cool. Are those ea's based on Rat breakouts?

Update on Blubbb_Ticks. The indi shows you one line of text for every new tick that comes in (price, time and the change in pips).
New feature: Set PeriodSeconds to a value x other than 0. This will give you a new line of text every x seconds. Just as if you had an x second period chart in MT4.

This (experimental) version does not reset anymore when changing timeframes.

BLUBB...

I have a question about your short on low EA. Which low does it short at? The low on which time frame??

You mean the script?
The low of the previous candle in the current time frame: Low[1]. Not the low of the current candle!
So if you watch M15 and execute the script it places the order at the low of the last closed M15 candle.
