Need help to code EAs for MT4 and MT5

Who wants to code this?

Hey guys! 3 questions to coders:

1. Is it possible to code the next kind of EA
and how much would you want to get for this job:
a. It has to be for mt5 and/or mt4.
b. It has to place market orders (not pending orders)
when a certain time's candle made a certain move.
c. It has to place SL, TP, Break even and trailing
(virtual and/or regular, but preferably it has to be
able to perform both)
d. It has to have maximun spread and maximum slippage
functions.
e. Everything needs to be adjustable of course

2. I'm attaching 2 straddle EAs. One is for mt4
and the other is for mt5. They are pretty similar but
the mt5 version has only about half of the functions of
the mt4's. Can the mt5's be adapted to become identical
to mt4's and how much will this job cost?

3. Can the mt4's EA from the 2nd question be manipulated
(or helped by other EA or whatever) to perform
market orders instead of pending orders? If it can then how
much will it cost.
Thanks

Posted this also on the free coding thread.

I have an EMA cross Expert and I'm willing to put some additional rules into it, the problem is my coding skills are null.

Can you please tell me which mql4 functions should I use/learn to accomplish this:

1: Exit with an opposite EMA cross on the higher timeframe:

Let's say, the EA is taking setups on the 30M or 1H chart:

I want it to close all the trades it has opened before and stop trading if an exit cross signal is given in the 4H or D1 timeframe.

2: Maximum pips distance for new trades.

I want the EA to not take setups that are a 40 pips range from the last trade opened by it.

Let's say the Expert has just taken a buy setup on the EURUSD at 1.0800:

After that price goes up to 1.0820 and the Expert finds a setup, it should take this trade because there's only 20 pips distance between them.

Then If from there, the price goes up to 1.0865 and EA finds a setup, it should avoid it because there's now a 45 pips distance from the last trade.

Except if there's a buy setup below 1.0800 for example 1.0740, I do want it to take it, ignoring the previous 40 pips rule.

3: Pips distance from week open.

Let's say the Expert is taking buy setups on the USDCAD.

Let's imagine, the week open for this pair was 1.2400

I want the EA to take setups while price is between 1.2400-1.2500, then if the EA finds a setup above 1.2500, I want it to ignore it since price would be 100 pips greater than the week open.

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Good luck with your trades.

As I said, I found an EMAx EA and want to put some filters into it.

One is that I don't want the EA to open trades that are x pips above the current weekly open for buys or x pips below for sells.

I came up with an idea but as I know nothing about coding, my skills are very poor,so it didn't work.

Here it is the EMAx no exit EA code:


Inserted Code
 
//main signal
 
double SEma1=iMA(Symbol(),0,ShortEma,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i);
double SEma2=iMA(Symbol(),0,ShortEma,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i+1);
double LEma1=iMA(Symbol(),0,LongEma,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i);
double LEma2=iMA(Symbol(),0,LongEma,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i+1);
 
string SBUY="false";
string SSEL="false";
 
if(SEma1>LEma1 && SEma2<LEma2) SBUY="true";
if(SEma1<LEma1 && SEma2>LEma2)SSEL="true";}

Please tell me, what am I doing wrong, what else should I include, I know with a bit of help, I'll be able to accomplish this.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello Pupsik..
1 - Cost depends on the complexitiy of defining/coding "certain move" and number of platforms (double up the price if both MT4 & MT5)
2 - Both versions can be identical after job is done..
3 - Yes possibly market orders can be used instead of pending orders..
For the cost of each number please contact me on telegram https://t.me/LastSonOfTheSun
Best regards..

Good day,
I have an Indicator that I use that I need a popup & sound alert added to the daily timeframe only; The indicator changes color on reversals and pullbacks and when there's a change of trend...so I need notification of a color change but on daily timeframe only.

Customizing the indicator for daily timeframe alerts sounds feasible. Many platforms like MT4 allow editing indicator code. You could potentially add conditions within the code to trigger pop-up and sound alerts only when the color changes on the daily timeframe chart.
