Is it possible to build my own EA that can be profitable, or is it risky?
Well you are asking the wrong question....

The correct question would be... Is your trading strategy profitable.. ??

If your strategy is profitable, then obviously the EA which will work on that strategy will also make money.

So yes it is possible to build your own profitable EA.

There are many tools which can help you to create your EA even if you have no coding knowledge. Everything depends on how complex is your trading strategy. A complex strategy will require you to have some coding knowledge to create EA for it.

Create New HMA Price Break and Retest EA and indicator

1. Indicator

add HMA_HULL_MOVING_AVERAGE code to PRICE_MA_CROSS_ALERT adjust alert to also signal when price comes within a set numbers of pips that can be adjusted by the user.....i.e prices comes within 5 pips of HMA after inital cross, a secondary alert should trigger

2. EA should be based on indicator that takes trades based on break and retest, multiple entries can be set with SL 12-15 pips from HMA 1st TP 50pips(adjustable) or next indecision level near next QP(adjustable) with adjustable trailing stop that can be activated

3. Once in a trade ea should not take opposite trade until initial trade closes or hits SL *see image

4. Reentry on failure to break HMA *see image

Finally add the code from the new quadrant thesis that you build from project 1

Hello,

I recently started using EA Builder to do expert advisor coding which I have to do for a project that I am involved with. I find EA Builder to be a very user friendly application since I am not a programmer. The first major problem that I have come upon, though, is trying to modify the stop loss on a pending order. Is there some way to do this in EA Builder?

A trailing stop can be applied, but you are talking about modifying the pending order which is not possible by only using EA builder. After generating the code, you need to modify some part manually

use
hour = TimeHour(TimeCurrent());

The TimeHour() function returns current broker hour. like wise minutes and seconds can also ne calculate.
then just check if hour is zero, as midnight start with zero.
if(hour ==0)
{
// take trade here
}

For guys who trade structure price action, there is An EA, i have recently developed which can saves a lot of your time by analyzing 24 trading pairs at the same time and providing you with the structure data for each pair. This will save time which was consumed for manual market analysis. It pops up alert at the right tie to urge traders to have a deep look. As a result you do not need to stick to the computer screen to monitor every price movement.

It also check of correlations among the pairs and provide the probability percent of a chart moving in a certain direction.
