Looking for help on programming SIMPLE EA

I am looking for a simple EA to have programmed. Below are the requirements:

I'm not a programmer at all, so some direction would be very helpful to find a resource to have this coded.

Thanks



Long entry order:

1 - Check if 1D CCI(50) is above 50.
If true, check if current CCI(50) 1D is higher than yesterdays 1D CCI(50)
If true, proceed, if False, no trade

2 - Check 5M CCI(50)
If 5M CCI(50) is below -50, place entry order at upper Doncian (30) range.
Set TP to 20.

Short Entry Order:

1 - Check if 1D CCI(50) is below -50.
If true, check if current CCI(50) 1D is lower than yesterdays 1D CCI(50)
If true, proceed, if False, no trade

2 - Check 5M CCI(50)
If 5M CCI(50) is above 50, place entry order at lower Doncian (30) range.
Set TP to 20.

Order size should be manually set

This EA building tool is handy for simple EA's:

Okay, I went ahead and wrote it. I did a quick visual backtest, appears to be in order.

JM8985,

Thank you SO MUCH for putting that EA together. It works well however, I see that I left out by mistake the last criteria needed.


3 - Upon creating a new 5M bar, if entry order placed is still valid, but the order has not been executed, and the Doncian (30) changes it's value, then change the existing entry order to match the new value of the Douncian (30).

If you would be able to add this piece into the code I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

You're welcome. I was also curious about the strategy, as I've been trading ForexHard's stairstep breakouts. Donchian channel breakouts sound like an avenue to automate that.

I was trying to speed it up by reducing the number of bars it calculates, and I noticed that I also neglected the issue of canceling old pending orders.

What are the criteria for canceling pending orders?

As for your 3rd criteria, that appears to cause the entry to jump away from it ever getting triggered. In the screenshot I posted earlier, that would have resulted in a loss, as the entry moved just far away that it triggered on the tail end of the move.
Am I understanding correctly?

OK, I think I figured out what you meant.

Attached EA will move the pending orders. There may still be an issue of orders being left open, and thus not taking trades when the market changes directions.

I'm working on that

JM,

I checked the code, but it does not adjust the order whenever there is a change in the Duncian value.

Also, I sent you an e-mail via FF.

Thanks

It moves the order when the conditions become true again.

I can change it to move whenever the donchian value changes, but I think it would run away from itself. Each time price moves, the pending order would move further away, never quite getting there. I think perhaps I don't understand.

I didn't see any emails on FF.

Attached is a more aggressive version.

There is also an extra input to specify order expiration.

It's still suffering from mysterious MT4 order bugs, sending multiple orders when clearly the code does not, as if it's looping on its own.

I may take a look at how others have solved this problem.

Next version, using Steve Hopwood's template. It appears to move buystops now, but still rife with order errors.
