"Babysitter" EA?

Does anyone know of an EA that you can switch on to "babysit" a position when you have to leave your computer? Basically you would place an order manually, then switch on this EA and it closes your position for you when a certain set of criteria are met such as one MA crossing back over another.

It seems like everytime I open a postion I am forced to set a fixed TP level because I'm not home enough to sit in front of my computer every single minute waiting for an exit signal. I usually only end up cashing in on half of a move because I am forced to set very conservative TP levels to make sure that I actually get some profit instead of riding the movement out like I would ideally like to.

I think I can make one myself, but it seems like it would be such an obvious EA that I figured I'd ask before trying to re-invent the wheel.

Loki,

That's the very purpose of any EA. But, everyone has their own "babysitter" criteria. So, it's doubtful that someone will have the same criteria you have and would have made an EA for it. The best thing to do is to learn how to work with MQL4 and then you can write your own EA's. Or, you might be able to ask someone to do it for you or even offer to pay someone.

I don't think we're on the same page here. I was talking about a generic EA. Basically the EA would have a "hollow" function. You would hardcode your exit parameters into this function (to be re-evaluated each bar) such that it returns a "true" is the position is to be exited and "false" if it is to remain in place.

The rest of the EA is totally re-useable as it just involves locating the existing order, grabbing control of it, and exiting when the "hollow" function returns "true". You would have to recompile the EA for each set of exit parameters you want to use, but that's not that big of a deal. It's not like trying to recompile a Linux kernel using a 266mHz processor.

I believe that what we need is stop script. I was looking for one that close my open trades when 14EMA and the 50 EMA cross.

I have other criteria for open my trade, but I need to close my trade when EMA cross.

do any have a script just for close my open position based on EMA cross?

thank you very much

good luck to everyone
