I code your Expert Advisors / Indicators

Hi, Findmanu

Here's a semi automated system that would really be great as a fully automated EA. I started a thread on this EA here:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=208812

on init() section, change Pip = 10*Point to Pip = Point. I use Alpari, 3 digits for EUR/JPY. It seems your broker uses 2 digits for JPY currency.

or modifiy it to:
if(Digits==3 || Digits==5) Pip = 10*Point;
else Pip = Point;

That solved the problem. My tester data is not good anymore, but the backtest looked really good. I will try forward test.

Thanks for the excellent coding!

please i need your help with this EA. the EA uses the last two candle to place orders but i want it to stop that and start using the current price. what i want in essence is for the EA to add 15pips to the current price and use the value to place a buystop order and also subtract 15pips from the same current price and use the value to place a sellstop order. stoploss is 15pips while take profit is 30pips. all other functions of the EA should remain. also, i use a risk factor of 20% I.E. i risk 20% of my equity per trade so my lot size is calculated in a different way. assuming i have $50 in my trading account, 20% of $50 is $10. lets say my stoploss is 15pips, the my lotsize will be: (amount risk/stoploss)/10 i.e. (10/15)=0.6, then 0.6/10=0.06. so my lotsize will be 0.06. the link to the EA is: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...azingEA&page=8. am only interested in the version 1.8 but you can thrill me if you so choose. the following might be of help as they will ease your work:

1) Pipsaway - how many pips abowe and/or below the current price the orders will be placed

2) TP - Target Profit, you enter the amount of pips, when your order gets into profit this amount of pips, it will be automatically closed

3) SL - Stop Loss amount in pips

4) NDay - News Day

5) NHour - News Hour

6) NMin - News Minute
These three parameters (day, hour and min) are your broker's date and time

7) CTCBN - Numbers Candles to check Before News For determining High & Lows , when it is 1 it check 2 candles the current candle and the 1 last one; This parameter was used in version 1.7 do automatically determine the amount of pip for a SL (stop loss), it's not used in version 1.8 (hmmmm, i guess it should be removed then )

8) SecBPO - Seconds Before News Which EA Will Place Pending Orders; well this is not going to happen at the exact second you specified, coz EA code is executed only when a tic signal comes from your broker, but around the news price movements are frequent so you will probably not notice the difference

9) SecBMO - Seconds Before News Which EA Will Stop Modifying Orders; Now, once your order are placed, the EA will follow the price movement and modify orders accordingly so that they are always exactly "Pipsaway" pips away from the current price. With some volatile news this can be quite often, so if that creates a problem with your broker you can set this to half of the value you put for SecBPO, if you put this to be equal as SecBPO than EA will not modifie the orders at all

10) STWAN - Seconds To Wait After News to Delete Pending Orders; this is the timer to cancel all the order that did not get triggered

11) OCO - One Cancel The Other, true or false, will cancel the other pending order if one of them is hit; if this is set to true, when your buy orders get hit the corresponding sell orders will be, at the same moment, cancelled, and vise versa, without waiting for STWAN time

12) BEPips - Pips In profit which EA will Move SL to BE+1 after that; a nice way to lock in some profit, if you leave it at 0 nothing will happen

13) TrailingStop - Trailing Stop; enter the amount of pips you want your trailing stop to be and EA will track all profitable orders

14) mm - Money Management; true or false; if you set it to true, EA will automatically determine the number of lots for your orders, in according to the risk you are willing to take

15) RiskPercent - The risk you are willing to take on any single order

16) Lots - Number of Lots for your orders; if you set mm to false, than you have to tell to EA how many lots to use for the orders; so if you put here 1, every order will be placed with 1 lot.

thank you.

Sangmane,

Taking a look at the requests for ea's in this thread, I think that this ea can help so many traders. I know that I can help (maybe not all) once this ea is complete. If we set up ea to identify where to place variables, indicators, entry, and close conditions, that would make changes easier. This would become the template ea.

1. I would like to put the MM back in where it automatically adjusts lots based on equity/balance. Risk should be from 1 % to 100%.
extern bool RiskMM=false;//risk management
extern double RiskPercent=1;//risk percentage

2. We still need the option of doing a straddle trade, right now I only see single trades. That would require a separate straddle entry condition.
extern bool StraddleTrade = true;//false = one direction only

3. We need option to trade with tick data or closed candles.
extern bool EachTickMode = True;//false = closed candle mode.

4. If possible add trade alert sound.
extern bool UseSound = false; // true = make sound when pending orders placed.

5. My understanding of max trades is this. Say Maxtrades = 3.
EA finds entry condition, places pending order. EA is waiting for pending to activate. Another condition is detected, another pending order is placed. It would do it again up to 3rd pending order. After that no more pending orders even if condition found. Once a trade has closed that would allow another pending order to open.

I have not forgotten about ea. I am just waiting for other ea, so I can use that as a basis for yours.

Hi,
think it isn´t dificult for you to code an sound alert when the i-trend lines cross.
Thanks for your good work

Hello,

I am wondering if someone can help me code some scripts to help make my entry method simpler. What I do is use the candle that has just closed to calculate my entry and stoploss. In the picture below I have tried to illustrate how I do a buy order, and I do the opposite for a sell order. What I want is for a script that can open orders that places two units each risking 1% of my account with the first unit targeting 2% and the second unit targeting 5%. I need a script for buy orders, sell orders, market buy and market sell all of which use the last candle to get the information required.

dear friends,

can you please make a expert advisor for the auto trading for this indicator i got it from a friend and found it very interesting as indicator.

waiting for reply soon

mama.

Hi again,

I have added MM code, alert code, your buy/sell logics, and added screen comments.

Can you please check that I have done these correctly?

Can you please add the straddle option and tick option? The straddle & tick option is beyond my knowledge.

Thanks

Hi, is there a possibility to make a simple EA auto robot from 1-2-3 strategy, maybe adding some MACD. Everybody knows it’s quite profitable in manual trading. There are some indicators for this strategy, but I couldn’t find any real auto EA’s. Thanks

hi,

i'd should like you add an other color for data < 0, as only one color can be choosen right now.

so, 1 color if data <0; 1color if data >0

indy : bears.mq4

thanks

Sirs:

The attached EA works great with one exception. It does not place trades, it just signals you when to place them. What I need is for this EA to be modified to actually place the trades when the conditions are met (I.E. Breakout above/below a certain time frame).

Is there any way you can do this?

Thank you,
Randy

Those are the settings I am using. It shows "Trade Trigger: Long/Short" correctly but does not actually make the trade.

Thanks

What I am actually trying to do is have the ea take the High/Low between 1 am EST and 3 am EST and trade a breakout 3 pips above or below the Range created from 1 to 3 am EST with a 15 pip stop and a 45 take profit.
Also, have EA move stop to +1 pip when it reaches 15 pips in profit.

Thanks again.

Check common tab for expert properties. make sure you have "allow live trading" checked.

I am assuming you have smiley face on top right of chart, beside ea name.

For lots = 2, you need minimum of $20,000 in your account.

Try lots = 0.1 to see if it takes trade. Also take a look at trade journal. It will let you know if you do not have enough money to trade.

Hi friends,
no reply yet on my request yet to make a auto trader expert for the code i posted its very interesting code please have a look at it once.
