Basic framework and trade management EA to start with

Anyone that can assist me or point me in the right direction please?

I have programmed a few basic EA's a few years ago, but have lost touch totally, will almost have to learn from scratch, but eager to get started again.

I am looking for a good code framework to start with covering some of the basics eg trade management etc, limiting entry times etc.

To get used to coding again I just want to backtest some very simple strategies even if no chance for them to work eg. entries based on some simple indicators. I just want a good code framework to start with, something that will be fit for testing on a small live account should I get to that point.

Any help appreciated.

Regards

What framework was your EAs written in before? Are you talking about frameworks like Metatrader? What language are you comfortable with?
