Writing an Expert Advisor

Hello Everyone,

I've been trading forex for years now; since 2001. However, a couple of years ago is when I started making consistant profits. My best friend and partner and I created a trading system with a set of rules. We have been trading since November 2004 with these rules. Over the last 27 months, we averaged about 150 to 200 pips each month. A few months were in the 400's, many were in the low 100's, and only one month was -60.

Anyway, I wanted to write an expert advisor for my trading system, but I have no clue on how to get started. Is there anyone out there willing to help me write the program? Or, does anyone know where I can send the specs to to have someone create the program for me?

Thanks

maybe you could explain your trading system and i'm pretty sure that if it is sufficently automatic, someone will try to make it

you got mail! (private message)

Oh OK, I’ll tell a little about my system. I can’t specifically write the exact system because we just signed a non-disclosure agreement, however I can tweak it a little bit to make so that I wont get in trouble.

First, there are certain parameters.

Currency = USDCHF
Period = 1 Hour
Time Zone = GMT
Indicator = EMA (10), EMA (20), EMA (100)

What I need help with:
I need an expert advisor that:
1) Buys when EMA (10) crosses above EMA (20)

2) Sells when EMA (10) crosses below EMA (20)

[HOWEVER, only buy when EMA (10) is above EMA (100), and only sell when EMA (10) is below EMA (100)]

3) If EMA (10) crosses above EMA (20), but both are still below EMA (100), BUY the first hour EMA (10) crosses above EMA (100)

4) If EMA (10) crosses below EMA (20), but both are still above EMA (100), SELL the first hour EMA (10) crosses below EMA (100)

Critical Rules:
a) Each trade happens at the beginning of the hour. Every hour, the program will run and will not make the trade until all the conditions are met. There will be no trades during the hour. Even if a 10/20 cross happens in the hour, no trade will be executed until the beginning of the next hour.

b) Before entering a trade with a 10/20 cross, the difference between the values must be at least 10 pips apart at the beginning of the hour.

c) If the program is about to enter a trade at the beginning of the hour, it needs to make sure that the difference between the opening price of that hour and the EMA (20) of the previous hour is less than or equal to 40 pips.

d) Do not trade after 12pm on Friday GMT.

e) Do not trade on certain days. (I have about 20 different days, but just limit it to March 27th and April 27th . I can fill in the rest later.

Profits/Losses:

a) There are three profit marks. Lets make them 50, 100, and 150. Basically, if you are trading one lot, then your limit will always be at 50 pips. However, if you are trading with two lots, then you will sell one lot at 50 and the second lot at 100. If you are trading with three lots, then one lot will be sold at 50, one will be sold at 100, and the last will be sold at 150. HOWEVER, if you have 4 lots to trade, two of the lots will be sold at 50, one at 100, and the last at 150. Every time you trade another lot, you keep on adding in that order.

b) The initial stop loss will be at -50 pips. However, once the market reaches +30 pips, I want the new stop loss to equal +5 pips from the entered trade. When the market reaches + 75 pips, I want the new stop loss to equal +50 pips from the entered trade. Finally, when the market reaches +125 pips away from the entered trade, I want the new stop loss to be +100 pips from entry.

c) The only time when the trade is liquidated is when it reaches 12pm Friday, a stop loss or a limit is reached, or when the 10/20 crosses in the opposite direction at the beginning of the hour. (the difference of this cross has to be at least 5 pips) Also, if there is a 10/100 cross in an opposite direction.
(The only time when all lots aren’t acting at the same is during limits. However, when there’s a stop loss, all lots are liquidated. For example, lets say that you are trading three lots and the market only moved +80 pips in your favor then traded the other way. One lot was already sold because it reached the +50 target mark. But since it only went up to +80, it did not reach it second and third limits. But it was above the +75 mark for changing the stop loss. Now, when the trade started to go the other way, the last two lots were stopped at +50 pips because it hit the new stop loss mark.).

I believe that’s somewhat similar to my trading system. I just changed the numbers because these numbers are much easier to work with than the ones that I’m really using.

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you in advance
