Hello,

I hope some one can help me to do EA with the following rules:

________________________
*- open trade when EMA 5 cross with random horizontal line value set by user.

1- Trade not be open before the candle close so EMA 5 crossing is confirmed.

2- stop lose option + trialing stop.

3- Take profit :
-|- take profit 1 - take off half profit and leave the other half of the lot running.
-|- take profit 2 - close the rest of the position.

4- inverse the position with next cross + increasing lot size:
mean if my current position now is 1 lot buy so the next trade when the cross happen is to close the buy and be sell 1 lots then when its inverse on next cross= close sell & open buy 3 lots (1,2,3,4,5)
____________________________


I hope some one can help me to do this EA

Kind regards,
Alaa

hey alaa.... i'm assuming this has something to do with the e/u daily correction system....

step 4.... when does the lot cycle reset.... such as in the picture, the first order is a sell and closed ok, then the next is a buy closed ok.... at what point do we revert back to the original minimum lot size....

also, how long is the horizontal line meant to be active.... all day, or a session, set nuber of hours....???

i have the ea programed to place a magenta line at the time, 18 gmt in this example..... it also plots the open price which sets the horizontal blue line....

when the ma crosses below the blue line it sells, if crosses up it buys.....

it also plots the dashed lines on each hour for reference....

as it's currently written, the next day at 18gmt, my example, everything moves to that time and price..... and it starts over....

summing up,

how long is the current horizontal line to be used....

and when do the lots reset to first size.....h

Mannawi,

If you Actually get a working version coded (I'd be amazed) would you mind posting it on here or emailing it to me. I've been trying to get something of this sort programmed for like 2.5 months without success (I've paid and have been ripped of 2 times) so Im having to learn to code on my own.

Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik

Some one coded this for me but seem not working when i tried it on strategy tester, I hope if some one kindly fix it and add another TP so we have TP1 & TP2.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How its work:

*save the maanawi.mq4 at expert folder
*open it manually with text editor via windows
*change the value of double Var1 = 1.50000;to the price of the horizontal line you want. for example to double Var1 = 1.48321;
*save the file
*open meta trader and apply the EA on the chart you want.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Regards,
Alaa

How do you mean it doesn't work exactly? The horizontal line is fixed so you can't backtest it anyway.

Now, if the horizontal line were somehow calculated dynamically based on an automated analysis of support/resistance then I'd expect to be able to backtest it.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Hi Erik,

I do use something else for horizontal line EA, its moving average crossover EA include all types of MAs so simply I try to find the value near to the horzintal line and leave this EA to work I will attach picture so you understand what I mean.

but again its need follow up betwen time to adjust the values, also you can turn macd to false so trade open on MA CO only.

there is two EAs attached one is to increase lot size by adding one after one (1,2,3,4,5... , other one is to double 1,2,4,8,16...

I dont follow what your saying, what value?. Also I dont know the system you use but both of those progressions dont seem suitable IMO.

Im waiting to see if hayseed will accept the project (not holding my breath, no pun intended) , If he does we can incorporate support and resistance probabilites with limited martin to sharpen the blade. lol
