I heard this can be difficult. I have a strategy that works well when manually back tested. Anyone up to the task?

Is that like going to the doctor because you have severe pain and then when he asks you where it hurts, you say "I'm not telling"?

I've done alot of searching and have found a couple of indicators that detect divergence. I'm looking for someone who can code language for an EA that can look back x amount of bars and can see RSI divergence. If anyone is interested, I can give you all the details. As I said, eyeballing charts manually shows a lot of promise with this strategy.

Have already done that and, in fact placed two successful trades today. Of course I wasn't able to keep it specific to one indicator or, convert it to an EA (as you asked) but, I did manage to get it to work.

If this is what you still require, maybe someone else can help?
