Hi findmanu,

I hope you can help me

I found an ea which I have been testing for the last 2 weeks with good results. However, it needs an exit strategy other than closing the current basket of trades in profit.

I have tried one exit strategy which is a simple 150 stop loss per trade. It has been ok this past week, but it is clear that in a huge trend with low retrace it would blow up the account.


It also needs to be tweaked a bit to allow for more flexibility. Here are some changes I would like to be made:

- Allow it to trade lots smaller than 0.1. It currently does not trade if lots are smaller are set smaller than that.

- Allow it to trade with fixed lot size as it is currently using some form of martingale. (maybe make the lot multiplier external so it can be changed to 1.00 or any other if desired)


Adding any of these exit strategy:

1 - Close all trades of a given currency when one of the trades hit a certain number of pips in drawdown. For example, if set at 150, when one trade hits that level (most likely the first one entered), all trades in the currency pair are closed.

2 - Close all trades of a given currency when a certain amount of pips in total in drawdown or dollars in drawdown is hit.

3 - Close all trades of a given currency when the first trade of the basket has been open for a certain number of time in minutes or hours.


The ea that would need the modifications is attached.

Thanks!

I have an idea for an indicator if anyone is interested in coding it for everyone to use. It would measure the distance of swing highs and swing lows and provide an average for each. You could use fractals to determine the swings. See the attached image for an example.

This information could help the trader:
a. determine trend direction (ie. swing lows are longer than swing highs)
b. determine stop loss positioning
c. determine profit targets.

Hopefully this will be useful to the community.

Happy trading,

hi blackhand,

after seeing your ea, it seems you only open order when there is no opened order?

maybe you could modify this condition checking
if(OrderType() <= OP_SELL && OrderSymbol() == Symbol()) {
IsTrade = True;

to
if(OrderType() <= OP_SELL && OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber) {
IsTrade = True;

so each of the EA don't take into account other order that is opened by another EA, ie sell.mq4 EA only check orders that were opened by sell.mq4 EA and not orders that were opened by buy.mq4 EA

regards

is it possible to do a code on this strategy? i have been testing it manually for 2 months and seems profitable.

long:

conditions:
21 EMA is above 55 EMA yes
ADX > 25 yes
MACD CROSS (21,55,8 ) yes
buy if:
stochastic rising above 25 yes

short:
conditions:
21 EMA below 55 yes
ADX < 20 yes
MACD cross (21,55,8)
sell if:
stochastics falling below 70 yes

hope to hear from you

Thanks man, it works. Really thanks.
Btw, do u know "X trade per day" coding? I hope not too complicated... I seen some on forum but looks like missing something, cant work properly. But anyway, thousand thanks

hi blackhand,

regarding "Xtrade per day", do you mean how to count the number of open orders at the current day?

you can use a loop through all opened orders and compare OrderOpenTime() and current time.

for example:

int OrderInDay()
{
int total = OrdersTotal();
if(total < 1) return(0);
int Count = 0;
for(int i = total-1; i >=0; i--)
{
if(OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES))
{
if(OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber && TimeDay(OrderOpenTime()) == TimeDay(Time[0])) Count++;
}
}
return(Count);
}

i didn't tested it, just type in. but the idea is the uses of OrderOpenTime()

hth,

stephen

pls explain more detail at what you mean by x trade per day. only open order X times in a day or only open an order if the number of open orders (excluding or including orders that is opened yesterday and still open today) don't exceed X?

Al'rite my man, i really appreciate u still looking into my case, is hard to find help now days. Thanks man.
Ok, Forget bout X trade, lets make it, "Only One Trade Per Day". That will be Enough.
Because some strategy will works ONCE a day, but when it repeat, it will lose. So what i need is, ONE Trade only between Broker Time 00:00 till 23:59.
Pls kindly build in into my Sample. The sample been added the MagicNum u taught. Highly appreciated. Really!

hi,

i make 3 modification :

1. added global variable named xBar
int BarCount;
int Current;
bool TickCheck = False;
int xBar; //added
....
...


2. record Bars value of Daily TF and save to xBar, after OrderSend
Ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, Lots, Ask, Slippage, StopLossLevel, TakeProfitLevel, "Buy(#" + MagicNumber + ")", MagicNumber, 0, DodgerBlue);
if(Ticket > 0) {
if (OrderSelect(Ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_TRADES)) {
xBar = iBars(NULL,PERIOD_D1); //mods
Print("BUY order opened : ", OrderOpenPrice());
....
....

3. Before opening order, check if the last recorded xBar not equals to current Daily Bar
//Buy
if (Order == SIGNAL_BUY && ((EachTickMode && !TickCheck) || (!EachTickMode && (Bars != BarCount)))) {
if(!IsTrade && xBar!=iBars(NULL,PERIOD_D1)) { //mods

....
....

because it is buy EA, i only put the modification on the opening of buy order. you can repeat the same for sell ea. attached is the modified ea.

pm me if it work or not

rgrds,

stephen

ps. hope you understand "my English"

Hi sangmane
I hope you can help me.
I'm Italian and I have difficulty with English.
You are Indonesian and have the same problem.
Hopefully we can understand.
I wrote to findmanu but does nothing.
I do not know why, but not responding.
I understand that you know to program in MQ4 and then ask you a favor.
Can, please write you the Expert Advisor that I have asked findmanu?
a E.A. simple.
I will attach an indicator, is a parabolic SAR multitimeframe + an alert ..
This alert is triggered the first slash of a trend, then remains steady until the moment that the trend is not reversed. At the first bar of the new trend is activated again.
The E. A. must have only two functions: the target price and Stoploss.
The EA has to put a position in the market only when you turn on the alert.
The position will buy or sell, as the alert states.
Only this -
Thanks
Romano

hi romano,

if EA only utilizes single indicator (Parabolic SAR), i don't see any advantage to use multi time frame version. besides, it's very time consumed to test MTF indicator because it needs real time data and can't be tested using strategy tester.

this is findmanu's thread, hope he doesn't object with my post here...

hello
I work at hand with this strategy on the live account.
The problem is only one: a hand is always late to get their positions to the market because too much time passes. I see the alert then I try the cross, then open the location ... and meanwhile have gone from opening several pips.
Regarding the multitimeframe you're wrong again.
I use it along with an indicator that calls Period Converter.
And the alert is triggered on the chart H1_H2_h3_H4_H5_H6
Is only a setting right - few pips TP and many of Stoploss.
A hand can only work on a cross or two, and it always arrives late.
If it was automatic it could also work on 20 cross.
But if you have the problem of the thread that is not yours, then I can not do anything -I do not know what you think findmanu.
I taught the strategy, write the EA just for you.
Then, if you want to write me in private foul.

Hi, I'd like to see average of different prices on one indicator i.e. averago close of EU GU and EJ [or 1/100 of EJ] showed as a line in separate window.

My idea is to scalp those currencies that have the best momentum versus rest, and currently trying to do it by watching 9 charts simultaneously, hope such ind may simplify backtesting at least.

Here is one [index] I create by editing the other one [correlation]

If this will work, I will certainly share, and am thinking as well about giving free calls via skype [if my idea works]

Thanks for your help.
