Parabolic SAR EA

  • First Post: Mar 24, 2009 1:05pm Mar 24, 2009 1:05pm
Hi,

I would really like an EA coded for the parabolic SAR.
I cant seem to do it how I envision it.
It either enters too many trades, after first signal, or it wont enter at all, and I cant get stop loss to follow the parabolic.
I used the free EA builder on the web, and dont really know coding, so cant really fix it to do it how I want.

So maybe someone here can help???

Basically....this is what I need.

I need the stop loss to be the Parabolic (dynamic/moving), and the TP to be adjustable to whatever values I chose.
So basically the position we're in closes out at our iset TP, or if the price never reaches that TP, then it closes out when the price hits the parabolic and changes direction.

So a buy entry would be, as soon as the candle hits the top dot, and the dot changes to the bottom, we enter.
Stop is set at the new bottom dot.
TP is set to whatever values we choose at beginning. (15,20,30 etc whatev)

Sell is exact opposite of buy.

MAIN THING!!
Only one order per signal!
So example.....say we enter a buy, and the TP from that buy signal has been activated and were flat now.
No new trade will be activated now, until the next new signal/dot crossover for a sell.

This is where Im having problems with mine, and any other parabolic EA's....it seems as soon as I exit they always wanna put on a new trade.
But I want it to wait until price crosses dot again, before entering a new one.

I tried Trendchasers one, but its not exactly how I want.
It trades on crosses only.
I want one trade....with TP.
Then wait for next trade.

Can anyone help?
Is this too much to ask??
Thanks

do you wait for a confirm signal? as in wait for the candle to close and open a trade on the opening of the next candle.

I coded a simple one according to my understanding of the idea in post#1.
3 settings that user can change the variables:


lotsize
Takeprofit (TP)
TrailingStop(TS)

Can be use at any Timeframe that u attached the EA to.

Happy trying..

Zen_Leow - No I dont wait,
as soon as the dot jumps, I enter my trade.
Not sure if when its programmed, it waits or not.
I think that was what my problem was with one of the EA;s I had.

Anyway...
Akukaya - Thanks for posting that, Im at work right now, so I cant test it just yet, but will over the weekend.
Thanks for taking the time out, to do that. I'll let you know if it does the job.

Hey...
Just loaded your EA up now and noticed that the TStop is adjustable??
But it shouldnt be....because it should be based on the value of the PSAR....or at least thats what I want it to be based on.

I also want to be able to play with different PSAR values.
So I guess what Im saying is that the only user configurable settings should be TP, and PSAR.

Hopefully you can implement these changes into the EA??
If not, its ok......I understand that these things take time, so I don't want to just expect everything to be handed to me.

Thanks for even just doing what you did.

no problem, coincidende that I am playing with psar testing when I saw your thread. It just a small tweak from my original code.

BTW, the earlier posted Ea is not so correct. During weekend, I notice it is not running as per your descripton.

I corrected it and will send here later. I am at office now.
I will send it when I am back home.

With regards to ts and sl, if you do not want to use it, just put a very large number.
e.g: 1000
Then the function still there but it will never trigger.

"No new trade will be activated now, until the next new signal/dot crossover for a sell."

I have been trading using this EA, the only problem i have is that once the SL has been hit another order is created. This causes alot of problems and creates lots of losses.

Can you help.

I did this years ago, PSAR Looks great at a distance, but up close the entry is always worst case and well unless the market is really trendy your going to lose.
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

And so do all other trend following indicators.

Hello Mr. Trk

I was wondering if you could help me with building a EA that trades automatically as soon as it flips on the 1H and 4H charts on any currency. I hope this will not be a problem for you. Please help I think this EA will help out very well for people that don't have time to watch their computer all day. Thank you.
