Looking for EA for Correlation Strategy

I am looking for someone to assist me with developing or creating a very simple EA that I can use for my correlation trading. I will try to briefly explain the strategy and what I am looking for. I am not sure how much information I can post or what a potential programmer needs to know because one of the moderators (smjones) has removed my original post after falsely accusing me of violating a forum rule of self promoting and spamming.

My correlation strategy is simply trading more than one pair at a time and viewing all the pairs being traded as one collective unit or trade. Each pair in the correlation trade plays an integral part as the trade utilizes correlations in a manner that allows you to profit no matter what direction the market moves. It is a way to profit from the random nature of forex by capitalizing on the random swings and algorithms between correlating currencies. Periodic attention to the trade is required and that is why I am here is to seek out assistance for an EA. I trade this currency correlation strategy full time for a living and am looking for someone who can assist me with the development of a very simple EA strictly for managing trades once the trades are open. The EA has nothing to do with opening trades as the entry strategy is not mechanical.

As stated earlier, multiple currency pairs are traded simultaneously and all open trades are viewed collectively as one trade. As a result, typical stops, tp’s and trailing stops that are standard in MT4 are of no use. Therefore I need an EA that will allow stops, tp’s and trailing stops to be based on the accumulative total of all open trades, not each individual currency pair.

I assume those interested will respond to this thread as I am forbidden from posting my email address although I see others are able to use theirs. I have never posted in forums until now so hopefully I will get the hang of this as my experience at forex factory has certainly not been pleasant so far. Hopefully that will change with some positive interaction with actual members.

Cheers!!

I didn't quite get what you need. So you open the trades manually and need an EA to control them based on an "overview"?

Thank you for your response Piccolo. Yes, I enter the trades manually when I see two or more correlating pairs cycling in a manner that allows me to profit from either the positive or negative correlation (whichever applies at the time). I am hoping for an ea that will allow the open trades to be managed collectively. For example, most of my trades are intraday trades that are only open for a few hours and usually target the cash equivalent of 20-30 pips. I use the term cash equivalent because often one of the currency pairs that make up part of the correlation trade will have a negative value but the accumulative total of all open trades will be profitable. So if I am trading one standard lot per currency pair and am targeting the cash equivalent of 30 pips that would be $300. I would like all positions closed when that target is achieved. In the alternative, I would like the ability to trail the profit and also have a feature to close all positions if a specified draw down is hit. Hopefully this helps clarify what I am looking for

Cheers!!!

I originally posted here seeking help with the development of an EA but received several requests for information on the strategy itself. I posted in a few forums seeking help but have decided to post some information on the actual strategy in one forum for convenience. It can be viewed here:

I have been unable to post my strategy here and unable to post a link to a forum that allows me to post my strategy..... all after refusing the request of a moderator who wanted me to hire him for programming and wanted full disclosure of my strategy.

Interesting......

Coding your strategy sounds like it could be fun. What's your strategy, man? A good strategy gets a free EA...
