Simple EA Request based on this Trading Rush video

Hello everyone, I'm in search of anyone who could possibly be willing to code this videos strategy into an EA. This video shows a MACD strategy tested 100 times bearing around 60% win. The video is this one and the strategy is explained at 1:05 :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmffSjdZbWQ


And here's another video of another guy testing this strategy on his own and also doing some live testing, he's comparing trading rush's strategy against MACD Crossover, 0 line cross and MACD Divergence and Trading Rush's beared the best results. It's already linked at the 6:18 minute mark in case you just want to go to the results but the whole video is quite interesting:
https://youtu.be/LvVSZq71pRU?t=378


The rules are very simple:

Buy Set-up:
-Market above 200 EMA
-MACD line must cross signal line upward when is BELOW 0 line.

Sell Set-up:
-Market below 200 EMA
-MACD signal must cross downward when is ABOVE 0 line.

General rules:
-Stop is above/below last fractal (could be last high/low i think, to make it more simple)
-Target is 1.5x risk
-Stop Loss at BE when 1:1 reached.
(The guy on the video says he takes 25 percent off the trade when the trade reaches 1 times the risk and will move the stop loss to break even but I don't know if this is easy to code or not, I don't wanna over complicate it!)

This simple strategy seems to be very promising, thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to help

I've been searching for this too but in vain. Have you had any success? I wonder why someone has not developed it yet the video has 500k views and thousands of comments

Nothing so far man, I keep seeing new videos pop up on youtube with this strategy. Hopefully someone will see this and code it. I'll let you know if I find anything, let me know if you do!

Someone had asked for it the Coders forum way back in July but still no one worked on it. Here is the post https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...8#post13166348

I made a quick EA with fixed sl and tp using this method. Performs well the last months but wouldn't use it for the long term. And 100 trades are not nearly enough Maybe i should try to use sl based on atr or something

hey edwin..... there will come a time when you no longer wonder about such things because you know the answer in advance......h

//------

there are quite a few macd ea's out there with all sorts of odds and ends added to make them better....

below is the standard macd sample ea that comes with the metatrader platform slightly edited.....

it should buy on a macd up cross below 0 with 200 ma trending up.....
it should sell on a macd down cross above 0 with 200 ma moving down.....
his financial parameters were a 10,000 account risking 1% on the eurusd with a 1$ a pip rate....
using the eurusd with usd $ based accounts it should give 150$ per win and 100$ per loss....

Hey, can you inter change the trades and where there is a buy in the EA you make it a sell? I've got a set that has only negatives, so I would want to backtest it in the opposite way

hey edwin.... usually that can be done, really depends on the code...... but honestly rarely improves the situation..... the negatives might have little to do with the settings..... post the ea and we can see.....

the most consistent ea's can buy or sell on the exact same signal.... with both having similar results.....

as example, the chart below is a live ea running normally as coded.... if i reversed the trades direction on each signal it would not result in 507 consecutive losses....

seldom will you see a profitable ea..... most ea's are too shallow in their thinking......h

hey lans.... no, it's not..... but the underlying concept is..... i've uploaded several videos on youtube regarding it..... started couple threads on various forums..... and occasionally post charts in various places.... in other words , it's not top secret....

its a simple trend following concept based on a simple question..... what follows a red 14......

Shallow in thinking ...? Me too! Nevertheless, would be interested to see the outcome of the EA of only buying and of only selling ...
A pity that the discussion stopped @earnforex. Think I have to dig deeper to find more of your posts on other forums

If I got it, then you're basically trying to identify potential trend changes of indicators with a small lag with indicators with even less lag?! May I ask what's the long-term winning % (I mean, if you trust in lagging indicators, you're likely to get in late into trends, aren't you)?

Best,
A

Hey, can you make this to open 1 trade per candle instead of opening a trade at every tick?

I am the one who changed because it means that it can only open another trade once a running trade is closed. I wanted it to open a trade everytime the condition happens and close trades purely based on SL and TP. I don't mind having 10 or so trades running at the same time as long as exit is based on TP and SL
