Have strategy -- Need EA programmed

I am constantly impressed at how helpful and friendly this community is. The phrase "traders helping traders" rings true.

I would appreciate your coding help. Here is my strategy that I want coded into an EA:

Setup #1 -- Retracement Buy
--find swing low and swing high to measure Fib retracement level (for example on 4HR chart)
--wait for inside bar (high and low fall within high and low of previous bar) to form at Fib level
--look for stochastic(8,3,3) cross to upside to confirm
--enter 1 pip above high of inside bar
--if no stochastic confirmation, look for confirmation on next faster time frame (for example on 1HR chart)
--if stochastic confirms, enter 1 pip above high of inside bar (on 4HR chart)
--when buy order is filled, place sell-stop-limit order 1 pip below outside bar (bar before inside bar)
--opposite instructions for Retracement Sell

Setup #2 -- Support/Resistance Buy
-- look for market to make new swing high above a level that used to be resistance and then look for it to retrace back to previous resistance level
--wait for inside bar
--look for stochastic(8,3,3) cross to upside to confirm
--enter 1 pip above high of inside bar
--if no stochastic confirmation, look for confirmation on next faster time frame
--if stochastic confirms, enter 1 pip above high of inside bar
--when buy order is filled, place sell stop limit order 1 pip below outside bar (bar before inside bar)
--opposite instructions for Support/Resistance Sell

Setup #3 -- Double-Bottom Buy
--look for market to test a previous swing low
--wait for inside bar
--look for stochastic(8,3,3) cross to upside to confirm
--enter 1 pip above high of inside bar
--if no stochastic confirmation, look for confirmation on next faster time frame
--if stochastic confirms, enter 1 pip above high of inside bar
--when buy order is filled, place sell stop limit order 1 pip below outside bar (bar before inside bar)
--opposite instructions for Double-Top Sell

Setup #4 -- Convergence Buy
--look for market to make a lower low and for stochastics to make a higher low
--wait for inside bar
--look for stochastic(8,3,3) cross to upside to confirm
--enter 1 pip above high of inside bar
--if no stochastic confirmation, look for confirmation on next faster time frame
--if stochastic confirms, enter 1 pip above high of inside bar
--when buy order is filled, place sell stop limit order 1 pip below outside bar (bar before inside bar)
--opposite instructions for Divergence Sell

Setup #5 -- Momentum Buy
--look at 1, 5, 20 SMA plus stochastics
--want 1 SMA above 5 SMA above 20 SMA, and stochastic going up
--wait for inside bar
--enter 1 pip above high of inside bar
--when buy order is filled, place sell stop limit order 1 pip below outside bar (bar before inside bar)
--opposite instructions for Momentum Sell
--look at intraday and multiday Fib levels, if near 62% retracement level, do not trade

As soon as market moves up, implement 20 pip trailing stop.

If setup is one of top 4, make sure stochastic on next faster timeframe has crossed to upside and 1 SMA is above 5 SMA.

If get inside bar that does not fit into one of these setups, ignore it.

Thanks.

post snapshots

Yes, please post some example trades from this system with entry and exit. Also, furnish us potential programmers with some other information abou the system such as win/loss ratio, how long you have backtested, and anything else that you think would be pertinent.

With the possible exception of #5, none of your setups has enough information to be coded.

Let's look at #1 as an example.

1. How do you quantify swing high/low points?
2. What does it mean for an inside bar to "form at fib level"? Above the fib level, but within 'X' pips? Touching the fib level? Penetrating the fib level but closing above/below?
3. Does the stochastic cross have to occur on same bar? End of bar? Previous Bar? Last 'X' bars?

You've got to think these things through prior to asking for programmer help. I personally feel that anything less is disrespectful in that it's insinuating that our time is less valuable than yours.


Edit: Okay, I read my post and it was worded a bit harsher than I had intended. I still hope that you read it and get an idea of what kind of detail is required for coding up a system. Basically, you have to remove any "fuzziness" and give details for each of the rules. And, if you're looking for someone to step up and code it for free, you should provide some backtest results and screenshots to pique interest.

I appreciate it. I will get back to you.

Is this system still working good for you?

Actually, I have not been using this system. I wanted to see if I could get an EA programmed but it would take a lot of time to get snapshots of all the actual parts of this system and I have not devoted the time to it. I have been focusing on other things and, if they are not successful, I will get back to this sooner or later.

Non-programmers don't understand. A buddy wanted an EA that would "go long when ADX went up, get out when it goes down". I had him fill out a detailed form that asked all the questions, to try to get a definition. All I still got was "goes up" "goes down" in the blanks!

But, it wasn't too hard and I like the guy and worked with him.

Now, I was going to say "give the guy a break", but after reading the above, I dunno.....

He must think you can whip this thing out in 5 or 10 minutes. You might be the best, but you're still not that good!

What is annoying is when someone says they are too busy to post "snap shots" for a system they are just thinking about... Indeed it is very insulting...

I suggest he goes over to the Metatrader forum and take the course and learn to program for him self. After the year or so of applied application, he can just "whip the EA" out him self...

I really hope no one does this for him without being paid.

I have someone that would build the EA for you. but it is not free. If you want more info, please PM me.

Along with that, he's not even using the system!

Rub salt in it!

Ok, fellas, to start with I started my request with:

"I am constantly impressed at how helpful and friendly this community is. The phrase "traders helping traders" rings true."

Your bashing and insults and general bad-mouthing do not go along with this helpful and friendly spirit. That is a shame. If you do not want to help, don't even post a reply. There is no reason to bash someone else because they ask for help. I have tried to learn programming and it escapes me so I asked for help.

When I found out what someone needed to help me, I stated:

"I appreciate it. I will get back to you."

I did not post a further request because I did not have the info that person requested. That should have been the end of that. In response to another person, I stated:

"I have been focusing on other things and, if they are not successful, I will get back to this sooner or later."

Again, that should have been the end of that. But, instead, some chose to bash me for not giving more info. Like I said, I WAS FOCUSING ON SOMETHING ELSE! You know, life outside of FF and even trading in general? Well, maybe you don't. I am not a full-time trader. I want to be and I am trying learn and gain all the experience I can. But there is my other full-time job and there is my children that I want to spend as much time with as possible and there is my wife that I spend time with and there is housework, yardwork, work on my cars, playing with my kids, taking them to the park, helping them with homework and activities, etc., etc., etc. In otherwords, things that are more important than spending all my time posting on FF. I left this thread with "I will get back to you." If I never did, then no one else should have spent any time on this at all, either.

blueruby, you should have seen my name in the Skunny thread. I have been there since he started it. And if I was trying to learn what Skunny was trying to teach, why would I continue to devote any time to this thread? The answer is I would not.

smjones, what a friendly person you must be...NOT! What is your problem? I did not insult you in any way, shape or form. I have never even conversed with you or made a request of you, ever! For you to say I insulted you...your ego needs to be checked at the door. I requested help of the general public, from anyone who saw what I was trying to do and thought they could help. You're insulted? LOL...whatever!

blueruby, you said: "Along with that, he's not even using the system! Rub salt in it!"

As I already stated, I was in Skunny's thread and you, blueruby, should know what that means. And when I said that "I would get back to you" and "I have been focusing on other things and, if they are not successful, I will get back to this sooner or later," I meant exactly that. If you did not understand, then...well, I cannot help you.
