I have developed an EA to my trading needs . Now I need to develop a strategy that can bring in the pips.EDIT 22 april 2019. not just one strategy but six
I will be posting charts of ideas I come up with. Your ideas are welcome.

Well it is July 21 2019 Here is the last bot I will ever code. I have now downed my tools. I have been chasing for a successful bot for like six years now. TIme to call it quits. Hopefully this bot will have some legs and make us all money or it will be another one to go in the dust bin

I just completed an EA that I hacked and mutilated from steve hopwood. My normal operandi was to code various trading setups like maybe 80 to catch various probabilities presented by the markets. A light bulb came on in my mind to say may be its not about ninty odd setups may be just six well thought setups with a strategy and boom . I can have an EA that is an ATM machine.

Fortunately the EA I have coded allows for many variable to be explored. I am thinking a strategy will be allowed five trades . That is five buys five sells.
So first trade opens . we wait any more confirmations add another buy. Put in safety measures. Maybe hedge or say only add if first trade is riskless.(Stop loss is above Order open price). All things being equal market goes our way and boom laka boom boom bank some dollops.

Hey hope you getting me thinking. Still brain storming. Just trying to get the creative juices flowing

An idea I have for strategy is as follows.
this is an example.
First we get a buy signal telling us Buyers are in control or about to take control.
Second we consider how much am I willing to loose on this trade. Lets say usd 10.
Third. We need a target. Once we have a target that buyers will take the price to we consider
What ways they can take it there. They could I) shoot it up like a rocket or II) slowly wiggle it up.
If they shoot like a rocket we only able to put in one trade. But if the wiggle it well we can milk it for what we can by adding position to every dip in price.

If they shoot it like a rocket then profit is on one trade. Which could be ten usd. But if they wiggle it we could get to add three trades and may may be milk it for usd 25 . This is 0.01 lots. But even if we increase the trades by adding position we not going to increase how much we risk. the risk will remain usd ten. So lets say we add three positions and things go against us we will only loose usd ten. I hope you get the point. we trying to get more by adding more trades but keeping the risk taken the same. so it is important to ensure the added positions are taken at points of high probability

I am going to use https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=759887 for coming up with first strategy. I have filtered the Buy sell signal system given in that thread. Now its time for find ways for milking the market once there is a buy or sell signal.Once we come up with the milking positions then the strategy I believe is complete. Still thinking should a strategy have its own EA or should six strategies be developed in to one EA. Time will tell

Try these resources:

  1. http://disktrading.is99.com/disktrading/#top (not free)
  2. http://www.forexite.com/default.html
  3. http://www.fxdd.com/en/mt1m-data.html
  4. http://ratedata.gaincapital.com/
  5. http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/data_feed/csv_data_export/
  6. https://forextester.com/data/datasources
  7. ..and of course the obligatory "push the Download button in the History Center (F2) from your MetaTrader terminal" to obtain the metaquotes.net price data


The metaquotes "download" data is really to be avoided at all costs in my opinion, loaded with spurious ticks, bad candles, and missing candle gaps all over the place.

The disktrading data goes back the farthest (~1998) but contains a significant percentage of contaminated ticks/candles (spurious ticks as well as your typical "indicative data" averaging artifacts), and will run you ~$135 for entire set of forex pairs.


The FXDD M1 data only goes back to ~2005 but it does come from a single price feed (FXDD's) so the quality is inherently higher.


The Forexite data is some of the best quality and goes back to 2001, except for the NZDJPY pair which only goes back to 2003.


The Gain Capital and Dukascopy datasets are a pain in the ass to retrieve and compile, I gave up on them once I found the disktrading/FXDD/Forexite resources but I included them here for sake of completeness as you may find them to be of value.

Here is first strategy based on simoneg system. SO what takes place is the EA will wait for the market meet simones conditions. ( I have filtered it quite a bit)

Then it will open the trade . This will be called the main trade.So long the main trade is open the bot will be looking for more opportunities to open another trade.

There is three Moving averages 13 EMA 25 EMA 50EMA on the 4 hr chart.
When the 13 is above the 25 and 25 is above the 50 it is a up trend.
Usually it forms a channel, as shown by the red trend lines.
I will try code setups formed around the Red Circles

I have looked at files you attached. Border ligns is a TMA band. posts from google search advise that it is impossible to to do EA from it.
I looked at super arrow. I can work with that. Lets see how it goes

I need help. I have spent the morning trying to code the arrow generated by indicator in to the bot. here is the code in the indicator

if (Gi_132 == TRUE && Gi_136 == TRUE && Gi_144 == TRUE && Gi_140 == TRUE && Gi_148 == TRUE &&
Gi_172 != 1
) {
G_ibuf_76[Li_4] = Low[Li_4] - (Point * Utstup); //1.3 * Ld_132;
if (Li_4 <= 2 && Alerts && (!Gi_176)) {
Alert(Symbol(), " ", Period(), " BUY");
Gi_176 = TRUE;
Gi_180 = FALSE;
}
The code for MA's Bollinger bands and bull power and bear power is easy to code. But how it is putting it all together and generating one arrow is proving difficult.
Basically need help coding the indicator in to the EA. There is another way of doing this were the indicator is called in the EA using iCustom. Problem is it says rewrite the indicator its too slow when back tests are done.

I want EA's to trade on my behalf because when I trade I blow my account. I hope I have understood what you were asking.
