Help - MA 5 EA code

Hi,

How to create a EA code , like after cross above or cross below MA 5 with continues 3 candle bar close than only entry buy or sell.

Find Universal Moving Average Ea by Firedavid, that's what you are looking for.

(1) You write a custom Moving Average indicator with an additional trend buffer. In this buffer you count the side of the MA you are on as an integer.
Whenever the last closed bar was above you count up (1, 2, 3, ...) with a minimum start value of 1 (plus one). Whenever the last closed bar was below you count down (-1, -2, -3, ...) with a maximum start value of -1 (minus one).

For a signal you don't look at the MA itself but only at the trend buffer. If it shows "1" the last bar just crossed from below to above. If it shows "3" the last bar was the third bar above the MA. Analogous for the down side.

(2) Same goes when you want to detect the turning point of an MA:
Whenever the MA of the last closed bar was above its previous value you count up (1, 2, 3, ...) with a minimum start value of 1 (plus one). Whenever the MA of the last closed bar was below its previous value you count down (-1, -2, -3, ...) with a maximum start value of -1 (minus one).

For a signal you don't look at the MA itself but only at the trend buffer. If it shows "1" the MA turned up at the last bar. If it shows "3" the last bar is the third bar with a continues MA uptrend. Analogous for down trends.

What does the trend buffer look like for the second case (detecting MA turning points):

An example implementation is available here: Moving Average.mq4
Read the MA header. That indicator signals MA turning points (the second case). It does not what you want: detecting price bars above/below the MA. But as explained above the logic is very similar.

If there is interest I can upload a compiled version of the linked indicator. Again, it does not match your request.

EA logic:


Simple as that. In your case you would have an indicator signaling price bars above/below the MA. So you would replace the "1" by "3" (or how many consecutive bars you want).

I had a look at it: https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=299565

It doesn't do what the OP wants. It features a lookback period and will open a trade anywhen between the current and the Nth bar if the other conditions are met. It will not wait until the Nth bar.

Here's another method that can be inserted into existing framework:


================================ MaBars3 ================================

void BuyOpen()
{
//Buy Setup


if((iLow(NULL,PERIOD_M1,3 < iMA(NULL,0,13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0))

{

ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,0,Ask+TakeProfit*Point,"MaBars3",12345,0,Green);
if(ticket>0)
{
if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES)) Print("BUY order opened : ",OrderOpenPrice());
}
else Print("Error opening BUY order : ",GetLastError());
return(0);
}
}


void SellOpen()
{
//Sell Setup

if((iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_H1,3 > iMA(NULL,0,13,8,MODE_SMMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0))

{

ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,Bid,3,0,Bid-TakeProfit*Point,"MaBars3",12345,0,Red);
if(ticket>0)
{
if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES)) Print("SELL order opened : ",OrderOpenPrice());
}
else Print("Error opening SELL order : ",GetLastError());
return(0);
}
}

my current one is like this .
is very simple. cause started how to create a EA. i hope that i can write a follow MA trend up 1,2,3 bar only entry 3 and below MA trend after 3 candle only sell. another code is stop trading if capital less thant (amount) 30% stop trade

int start()
{
double MyPoint=Point;
if(Digits==3 || Digits==5) MyPoint=Point*10;

double TheStopLoss=0;
double TheTakeProfit=0;
if( TotalOrdersCount()==0 )
{
int result=0;
if((iMA(NULL,0,5,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0)>Bid)) // Here is your open buy rule
{
result=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,Slippage,0,0,"
if(result>0)
{
TheStopLoss=0;
TheTakeProfit=0;
if(TakeProfit>0) TheTakeProfit=Ask+TakeProfit*MyPoint;
if(StopLoss>0) TheStopLoss=Ask-StopLoss*MyPoint;
OrderSelect(result,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(TheStopLoss,Digits),NormalizeDouble(TheTakeProfit,Digits),0,Green);
}
return(0);
}
if((iMA(NULL,0,5,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0)<Ask)) // Here is your open Sell rule
{
result=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,Bid,Slippage,0,0,
if(result>0)
{
TheStopLoss=0;
TheTakeProfit=0;
if(TakeProfit>0) TheTakeProfit=Bid-TakeProfit*MyPoint;
if(StopLoss>0) TheStopLoss=Bid+StopLoss*MyPoint;
OrderSelect(result,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(TheStopLoss,Digits),NormalizeDouble(TheTakeProfit,Digits),0,Green);
}
return(0);
}
}

for(int cnt=0;cnt<OrdersTotal();cnt++)
{
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if(OrderType()<=OP_SELL &&
OrderSymbol()==Symbol() &&
OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber
)
{
if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)
{
if(TrailingStop>0)
{
if(Bid-OrderOpenPrice()>MyPoint*TrailingStop)
{
if(OrderStopLoss()<Bid-MyPoint*TrailingStop)
{
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-TrailingStop*MyPoint,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Green);
return(0);
}
}
}
}
else
{
if(TrailingStop>0)
{
if((OrderOpenPrice()-Ask)>(MyPoint*TrailingStop))
{
if((OrderStopLoss()>(Ask+MyPoint*TrailingStop)) || (OrderStopLoss()==0))
{
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+MyPoint*TrailingStop,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);
return(0);
}
}
}
}
}
}
return(0);
}
int TotalOrdersCount()
{
int result=0;
for(int i=0;i<OrdersTotal();i++)
{
OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS ,MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber) result++;
}
return (result);
}

Hello, I have to measure the maximum and the minimum of an interval between 5 and 6 am. Following the advice of the forum I used this function:



Can you tell me how the hell fits the time in this function ??
Thanks a lot!!!
