Simple EA for breakout strategy

Hello all,

would there be any one on these boards who would be prepared to create an ea for the breakout strategies in the attached word document? I dont mind paying for the ea as i realise you on forums you get alot of people after somthing for nothing and im not one of those individuals!

The main purpose for the ea is to backtest the strategies over the past few years, they have been profitable since xmas but i only want to actively start trading the strategies if they are going to be profitable in 2 years time not simply in 2 months time!

Regards,

Rick.

hey rick....
Would it be possible to code 1 ea that could be used for the 3 different strategies? I.e. by having the option to alter the variables that change; time frame, and profit and stop targets.

yes that would be the prefered method......

couple thoughts.......

you need an expiration time for the orders.......

and it's possible for both the buystop and sellstop entry prices to be hit.... so both a buy and sell would be open at the same time..... hedging must not be an issue with you, correct ?.......h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

thanks for the reply hayseed,

i forgot to include the expiration times of the orders. the morning trades would be cancelled at 11.00am gmt if they were not hit, the afternoon trade would be cancelled at 18.00 gmt if the entries were not hit.

No your right that hedging is not an issue for me.

Regards,

Rick.

i've almost finished my own breakout ea, so i can help you, if no one else is doing this, though i'm just a beginner. i'll see if i can start it tomorrow, if you want to keep up with the progress, just send me a private message.

sorry to tell you that i'll have to further work on my own EA so I won't be able to be of help.

There are some good EAs already developed for breakout strategies in the following forum. These guys are good and don't mind sharing their discoveries with us:

how much you are willing to pay? for me to write your ea takes ~2hrs.

Could probably do that in 45min - 1hr.

Just take my generic breakout EAs and run three of them in parallel.
