Easy EA code help...I think

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked already...I have searched the forum but with no luck. Anyhow, what I am looking to do is quite simple I think but I just don't have the coding brain to do it. I feel like I have some sort of mental block when it comes to the coding for some reason . Simply, I would like to have an RSI trigger at a certain level. What I'm having trouble with is specifying that in order to place a buy, the RSI must be rising and vice versa for a sell order. I have a version working from the EA builder site but don't know how to add the rising and falling RSI input for a buy or sell. Below is an EA alert that I found on www.forexmt4.com that is basically what I'm trying to do. I am just too daft to know how to code in the buy and sell instead of an alert in this case. Any help would be appreciated.

RSIPREV=iRSI(NULL,0,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
if (RSICURR>RSIPREV && RSICURR>70)
{
{Alert(" CrossUP",Symbol());
}
if (RSIPREV>RSICURR && RSICURR<30)
{
{Alert("CrossDOWN",Symbol());
}
   }
  }
 }
return (0);


Thanks again,

Hi, you use OrderSend() to buy/sell, something like:

ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, tradeVolume, Ask, 1, stopLoss, takeProfit , NULL , 456456);

You can read about it here; http://docs.mql4.com/trading/OrderSend

Have a play with it, and then ask lots more questions.


Dave.

instead of:
RSIPREV=iRSI(NULL,0,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
shouldn't there be:
RSIPREV=iRSI(NULL,0,14,PRICE_CLOSE,1);
?

anyway, simple rsi is not the answer to successful trading
