Hello Nanningbob,
I found the fact sheet. Interesting, although times change rapidly, but it is a good start.
In fact I don't mind that a currency moves 600 pips a day as long as there is a retracement of 100 pips in between.
I am with a group on another forum working on a Martingale EA, therefor I thought I could trim the settings according to the retracement facts.
Anyways, thanks and all the best for 2010.
Happy Trading
If you are interested in my conclusions and experiences please read Nanningbob 4H trading system and Nanningbob 60x90 EA. In there you will read about my 2.4.2 recovery system which will help you in bailing out of a bad martingale trade. I try to teach how to trade multi-level and range based trading systems. It is basically trading an outside in approach where most trading systems are an inside out approach. What I mean by that is most traders try to spot a trend and then follow it as it moves away from the center. For instance, pivot points or a MA, STOCH, or MACD cross variations. I try to trade from price extremes as it moves back to the center or median. I have been much more successful with that type of trading system. Retracements are guaranteed to happen at some point, trends continuing are not.

Also study the EUR/CAD, USD/JPY, EUR/USD, moves of December 2009. They would be killers of martingale trades. The long drawn out trends that rarely happen but do are killers of martingale and multi-level trading systems. Understanding them and knowing how to get out of them is the most important thing you will learn trading these kind of systems. Also IAMTHAT has wriitten a great EA found in my 60x90 thread using pending orders in the EA instead of market orders which help keep you out of trouble. Good luck. With the 2.4.2 recovery system I feel my account can handle a trade that goes a 1000 pips against you and still survive.

Hi,

I need a EA for the following.

Price approaches a MA and bounces after touching or almost touching it.

Price has to be clear of the MA for a certain number of bars - in this case two. Green circles show valid trades - red is not valid.

Trading is AWAY from the MA.

This system needs some session restrictions and trade man. as well - like trading hours, partial take profit and trailing stops.

Cheers

Thomas
I am working on a system right now following such a trade system. The problem is filtering out the fake outs. A guy name Marc Stein sells a fractal-MA indicator that does that and I am testing it out now and some variations of it. Because of News stories, etc. I doubt you can get an EA to work well but an indicator with sound understanding of basic fundamentals probably would work. That is my thinking anyway.

Hi nanningbob,

I also would use some discretion when using such EA. It would be nice to have it running during the Asian session while one is not in front of the screen. Otherwise it makes sense when there is some confluence with fibs/trendlines/S/R. Trade management is a very important aspect with these trades too.

Keep us posted if you program such EA.

Cheers

Thomas

findmanu. This is not my indicator but I do like it, the only problem is that it needs an audible alert (maybe a pop-up as well) when the colors change (after the color change bar closes). As it is, it works well with all currency pairs but really needs an audible alert (maybe a pop-up as well). Summary: I would like at least an audible alert (maybe a pop-up as well) after the first bar of a color change closes, regardless of which time frame I am using. I do prefer the 1H and 4H timeframes the most. I currently use it on 12 currency pairs so it...

Hi Berche. The 'Trend Tool' was a free download and I only got the EX4 file. I downloaded it a few months ago and cannot remember where I got it. Is there anyway to create something using the EX4 file? It really is one of the best indicators I have seen but really needs an audible alert or maybe an EA created for it. Any help/assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.... Michael

Hello,
Even this is my first post on forexfactory i read this forum for a long time. I fell ready to contribue to this community with my strategy.
I will also have a request - to transform my strategy into EA.
I use 2 indicators - slope direction line and sma angle. I have an Ea that works for the Slope but doesn't have tre sma angle
This Ea should be in the market all the time. If this 2 indicators show buy the EA should enter the trade and should keep that trade till he has the sell signal.
After the EA entered in a trade let's say in buy even the slope line show sell he should keep the trade. The Ea should keep the trade till he has the sell signal ( both indicators). I will attach a picture for all of you to understand my strategy.

Thanks in advance

Hey Traders,

I love blogs / forums / micro-blogs and heck entire social media platforms.

However, I'm new to FF and loving threads like http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=166658

Hi Findmanu,
I have an indicator which gives red/green dots for sell/buy. Would it be possible to convert it into an EA with following variables:-

1) SL
2) TP
3) TS
4) Opposite signal cancels trade (true/false)
5) If consolidated no trade (true/false)
6) Indicate only (true/false).
It's a pretty good indicator manually, but I want to test it automatically.

Many thanks,


Mike

Hi you all this is a great thread and should I say interesting as I have no clue about programming and it fasinates me that you can type a few lines and you have magic.

Does anybody know how to program an indicator that once you have entered a trade it will display in the corner of the screen the amount of pips positive or negative and possibly the percentage increase or draw down from the balance in once account.

Will this be possible at all or not.
Thanks

I need an ea that will place trades at a specific time with a a specific stop loss and take profit to be set automatically.

features needed;
select buy or sell feature
select time you want to enter the trade
select amount of stop loss
select amount of take profit

example it's 12:30 gmt
buy gbp/usd at 13:00 gmt with 20 pip stop loss and 30 pip take profit when the trade is executed at 13:00 gmt

Looking for a EA to:

1) open a buy stop and sell stop order at the next "00" or "50" level of the current price.
2) allow the user to set the TP or SL levels
3) once the first order is filled, the other open order is closed

ie if price is 1.6040 a sell stop order is opened at 1.6000 and a buy stop order is opened at 1.6050. if price moves to 1.6051 then the buy order gets filled and the sell stop order gets closed.

4) once the TP or SL level of the opened order gets filled, then a new sell stop and buy stop order gets opened at the nearest "00" or "50" level.

It would also be nice if the user can select the trading times eg. 2am through 12pm etc.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi findmanu,
Its good to see people like you doing this for free, thats so cool man.
I have two indicators for you to try turn them into an EA. Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed with properties such as 2,6,3,2 and also Line_of_Destiny which acts like a moving average, but change colors to lime (color) when trend is going up and tomato (color) when trend is going down.

For buy entry signals
Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed must be royal blue and Line_of_Destiny must be lime at the same time and for exits signals, Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed...

I second this EA idea

Could someone please assist me in modifying the attached indicator to include a popup alert whenever a crossover occurs in the attached indicator so that I do not have to keep looking at the chart for the signal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
Hi Daysey,

I liked this indicator a lot and already put it in my charts.
I also make the alert you suggested.
Here it goes:

In your original EA will will find these program lines:

if ((fasterMAnow > slowerMAnow) && (fasterMAprevious < slowerMAprevious) && (fasterMAafter > slowerMAafter)) {
CrossUp[i] = Low[i] - Range*0.5;

}
else if ((fasterMAnow < slowerMAnow) && (fasterMAprevious > slowerMAprevious) && (fasterMAafter < slowerMAafter)) {
CrossDown[i] = High[i] + Range*0.5;

}
That is the way they have to be to make an Alert sound

if ((fasterMAnow > slowerMAnow) && (fasterMAprevious < slowerMAprevious) && (fasterMAafter > slowerMAafter)) {
CrossUp[i] = Low[i] - Range*0.5;
Alert ("MA CROSS UP");

}
else if ((fasterMAnow < slowerMAnow) && (fasterMAprevious > slowerMAprevious) && (fasterMAafter < slowerMAafter)) {
CrossDown[i] = High[i] + Range*0.5;
Alert ("MA CROSS DOWN");

}
You can write it down yourself or use the modified file I attached to this post.

Best regards enjoy it

PS...You have to bear the alert sound during 4 entire bars, I couldn't put it in a Sleep mode, the program didn't accept.

Hi Dori,

Thank you so much for the amendment, I'll bear with the alert for now till we can get it to sleep . However, I've attached another indicator here that also gives an alert at crossover but has a logic in it that puts the alert to sleep, can you possibly go through the logic and see if we can use it in the Indicator to put the alert to sleep.

Thanks again, I really appreciate your input.

Kind regards.

I think this is what your looking for Daysey.
It a ma cross with arrow, sound and text box alert.

I would like to know if anyone can add a moving average of oscillator
(MAO) filter to this indicator.

Example 3ma cross's up over the 5ma but only alerts when MAO is over zero line for possible buy or under for possible sells. Even if the cross has already happened. Ill try to post a pic of what i mean.

If that is possible and I can make sure it works as I test it, then maybe even adding email alert.
Let me know masters of the mt4 code.

If anyone wants to code some extra stuff in-line with this filter for a fair dollar amount just shoot me an email.
