1. can you explain how it interferes? from your ea, i saw that you use magic number to decide whether to buy or sell, oopss, i mean to count the numbers of floating orders
2. no probs
P.S. i don't have enough EUR/JPY data. the treshold value for Osma (0.02) only valid for JPY pairs? how do you get this number? from optimization?
1. I have same ea with different entry conditions, trailing is set to 100 with a TP of 48. The TS v2.0 has a trailing of 21. The other ea with TP of 48 closed out with 1 pip. I think the problem would be in the trailing section. I was thinking that maybe you need magic in every OrderSelect line.

For every line of this code " if (OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)) "
should I add this line " if(OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && Magic_Number == OrderMagicNumber()) ".

2. Excellent!

3. Yes, from visual and optimization on that pair. EURJPY is my favorite pair at the moment.

need this as EA and can change the TP and SL
1. when you modify this EA, can DIRECT buy/sell 4 position with lot size as you like ONCE. [ dont happen if it disconnect and reconnect, it buy again, then i will brankcrucy http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon9.gif] http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/dollar.gif gone
2. can use the buystop/sellstop/buy limit/ sell limit too ( can enable or disable. If disable, direct buy or sell at the live price. )
3. can adjust the SL as you like when u buy or after/before u buy. ( mean u direct put the number as SL, example : 1.60332 or can put SL :25 ) [have both and can chose either one, amazing !!! ]
4. the target is SL times 1,2,3,5 (example, SL is 20. target = 20,40,60,100. it calculate it self. if can change the factor 1,2,3,5 as we like, great~~)
5. when hit 1st target, the rest will move to the break even ( if could move to any point as i like , you are fantasy~~. )
6. when hit 2nd target, the rest will move to 1st target ( this can enable or disable will best ) [ we know sometimes it will happen fading ]
7. hit every target it will alert and hit SL it have another different sound form hit target. ( can enable or disable will better too )

I need a EA...i think this strategy could be profitable on the long term
I'm trading on a 5mn chart
For the EA i need the following things:
-Center of gravity : 288 periods with a parameter of 2 ( i don't care of any bands, i just need to see the curve of the main band)
-CCI => parameter = 10 periods

So now here is how it works
On a 5mn chart....when the center of gravity is pointing up and the CCI is above 0 (after being under 100, ideally 200) then BUY
When the center of gravity is pointing down and the CCI is under 0 (after being above 100, ideally 200) then SELL

The stoploss is 10 pips above (under) the high ( the low) of the last 10 periods
the tp is around 40 pips i need to check this

I'm sure this strategy could be profitable so if anyone can help, i'd be thankful!

Thanks in advance

Please post the COG (mq4) that you are using. Is the CCI from MT4? What pairs to trade?
How long have been trading this method? Any results?

I am not a programmer, but I can do some mods. to code.

Hello and good day findmanu,

I need help from you to programme an indicator that shows the 'difference' in pips between current candle and previous candle of a moving average.

The display should be somewhere at top of chart,
and would change color and complete with alarm when certain difference of pips is achieved.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys!

Can anyone code a Stochastic indicator for a group of pairs?
I need for 2 groups.

Group 1 will have 14 pairs:-

AUDUSD
NZDJPY
GBPCHF
EURUSD
EURCHF
CHFJPY
USDJPY
USDCHF
EURGBP
NZDUSD
GBPUSD
EURJPY
AUDJPY
GBPJPY

This single indy should show the collective movement of all 14 pairs OB and OS at levels 20 and 80. Collective here means the single indy showing the collective, resultant, singular movement of all 14 pairs as though its a single representative pair movement. I hope this is clear. The above is Group1.

Group 2 will have 5 pairs;

GBPUSD
NZDUSD
EURJPY
AUDJPY
GBPJPY

To anyone who can code these 2 Stochastics indys, a million thanks and may the heavens bless you abundantly.
I have seen the enemy, and it is me.

Do you mean buy the open of candle (3) and close the trade at the close of candle (3)?
Stop loss would be 10 pips from open of candle (3)?

You method is only placing buy orders, there is no sell orders, is that correct?

Hi Sangmane,

Another week, more forward testing.

I was wondering if you were able to fix the ea confilict/magic number problem and add the start/stop trading tim in GMT format?

I think that this idea for take profit is would be an improvement on the first method.

Have two take profits, 1st take profit is set by user to be the minimum amount desired. When amount reached, set SL to BE, close half (or variable percentage) of order. 2nd take profit is also set by user. Another user option of adjustment pips would need to be entered.

Say 2nd take profit is 50 pips and adjustment pips is 20 pips. When 1st take profit is reached and price continues, then when price is 20 pips above BE, SL would be adjusted to lock in half of adjustment pips. In this case SL adjusted to lock in 10 pips. When price goes up to 40 pips then locked in pips would be 20, after 60 pips it would be 30 pips and so on.

extern double First_TP = 24;
extern double Second_TP = 50;
extern int Close_percentage = 50; percentage of trade to close for first take profit (from 1% to 100%)
extern double Adjust_Pips = 20; // when 20 pips past BE, adjust SL to lock in half this amount (10 pips).

Maybe also good to have percentage amount of how much to close trade. Maybe instead of 50% maybe set to a variable amount (1% to 100%).

You would of course have set minimum starting lots to be 0.02.

Let me know what you think.

I thought I might be able to help you out, but my ea uses buy stop orders and ea has no method of closing trade on candle close.
I can only close trades on fixed targets or trailing stop.

Sorry, back test was very bad with my ea method.

hi everret,

sorry, i forgot about trading time limit and magic number. before i make the code, pls clarify your trailing stop rules. the rules conflict with each other

1. first TP = 24 pips, then when price hit TP, price has been already 24 pips above BE, so SL will be moved to +10. what about move SL to BE when first TP reached?

2. second TP =50, why need to lock after +60 pips?

Ok, I think I got ahead of myself.

I was treating them like separate orders when they are part of one order. If 1st TP is below adjust pips then it is ok.

Example:

#1

1st TP = 15, 2nd TP = 50, adjust = 20.

15 pips up, adjust to BE, close percentage of order, price not at adjust pips yet so BE remains.

price 20 pips up, adjust SL on remaining percentage to +10pips,
when price is +40 pips then adjust SL to +20pips, continues in this format till SL hit or TP.

If 1st TP =24, then when hit close percentage or order and adjust SL based on adjust pips.

#2

You are correct 2nd TP would be already hit so adjustment not required. If 2nd TP =100 then it would continue.

The CCI i'm using is the one used in MT4 indeed...i need to try which setting is the best between the 10 period and the 20 period....20 gives late signal but less fake one...i need to check this

I'm using it on every pairs...mainly on EURUSD GBPUSD USDJPY EURJPY EURGBP and GBPJPY...but i guess the system works with others pairs...the SL and TP needs to be adjusted depending on the volatility of the pairs.
I've been using this method since weeks and it's profitable for me...but i need to backtest on a long period to see if it's not some kind of seasonable profitabiliy

Thanks for you help!

hi everett,

here is the TS EA. instead of modifying, i write all the code from scratch to make it looks simpler. previous EA contains too many commented line.

i've modified the OsMA rules a litle bit different from the original one.

let me know your backtest result

Ok here you go...Trend is down...CCI (20) went above 100 then when it go below 0...sell the pairs and put a stop above the last high of the last swing or last 10-15 period ( i need to see which one is better)
Profit taking is about 40 pips but i need to check if i can let it run

That was really fast to recode.
Your back test looks really good.
I could only get two trades when I ran from Oct-1-09 to Nov-27-09. I am using forex.com as broker.
Is this still on eurjpy 1 hour?

Old 2.1 ran fine. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Questions:

1. I still need MM in ea to automatically adjust lot size.
2. I still need option of doing a straddle trade or a single direction trade with pending order.
3. I think we should always use a stop loss, so if stop loss is false it should be set to user defined value.
4. With maxtrades > 1, it should only enter another trade if the correct entry conditions are present? It should only place one trade per condition.
5. Is it possible to structure ea in sections.

I need to have a clear area for me to place indicators, conditions, exit, etc.

I should say place indicators here, buy/sell entry condition here, buy/sell exit condition here, straddle condition here.

That would help me to better understand code.
