Need Coders to help make an EA to place one trade per MA cross

Hi Guys,

Please help me to test an EA with the additional logic. I want the EA to place only one Order when the MA crosses happens. At present this EA is placing multiple trades when the MA crosses.

Eg: when the MA crosses and triggers a buy, i want the EA to place only one trade and wait for the Next MA cross to trigger a sell

Thanks for helping me,
fxolive.

Do you not know how to keep it from placing more than 1 trade at a time?

If not, you may want to look at a few existing EA's most have the code you need and implement it in your EA.

Your EA is placing trades once the candle touches the EMA. But for me i should trigger the Buy or Sell only when the Price closes above or below the EMA(not when it touches). Can you please add the code for that? Thanks a lot Regan

You will have to change the variable names to match your code. This is from working code.

PHP Code

      fastEMA1 = iMA (NULL, 0, FastEMAPeriod, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_TYPICAL, 1);
      fastEMA2 = iMA (NULL, 0, FastEMAPeriod, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_TYPICAL, 2);
      slowEMA1 = iMA (NULL, 0, SlowEMAPeriod, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_TYPICAL, 1);
      slowEMA2 = iMA (NULL, 0, SlowEMAPeriod, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_TYPICAL, 2);

      bool upBar1 = Close[1] > Open[1];
      bool downBar1 = Close[1] < Open[1];
      
      bool longEntry = upBar1 && fastEMA1 > slowEMA1 && fastEMA2 < slowEMA2;
      bool shortEntry = downBar1 && fastEMA1 < slowEMA1 && fastEMA2 > slowEMA2;

Set eachtickmode to false.

Read the documentation on that thread.

Hi ronald,

I read the tread fully for couple of times. still i am finding hard to figure out this.
I tried EachtickMode=T & F but nothing working. All i want is the EA should buy when the Price crosses the EMA AND closes above the EMA & not in the same bar, it should open the buy @ the opening of the New candle.

Then set each tick mode to false.

Run backtests if you need to experiment.

Hi Ronald,

I ran the backtest already and I tried tickMode=T & F but nothing working. The EA is placing trade in the same BAR. But it should place ONLY ONE trade in the Next candle.

All i want is the EA should buy when the Price crosses the EMA AND closes above the EMA & not in the same bar, it should open the buy @ the opening of the New candle.

Hi Guys,

I have an EA that would like to trade about the same way as the topic discussed. But in this EA, I WOULD LIKE IT TO TRADE ONE TIME only per price close above/below MA.

What would be the code to have the ea to function like that?

Many thanks.

Jack

Place this below everything in your EA:
PHP Code
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| CountAll()                                                       |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int CountAll( string Symbole, int Magic )
{
    //---- 
    int count = 0;
    for (int i = OrdersTotal() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    {
        OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
        if ( OrderMagicNumber() != Magic   ) continue;
        if (      OrderSymbol() != Symbole ) continue;
          
        if ( OrderType() == OP_BUYSTOP || OrderType() == OP_BUY || OrderType() == OP_BUYLIMIT ) { count++; }
   else if ( OrderType() == OP_SELLSTOP || OrderType() == OP_SELL || OrderType() == OP_SELLLIMIT ) { count++; }
        
    }
    //----
    return(count);
}
Then paste this somewhere early after the int start() function, right before your conditions:

PHP Code
if( CountAll( Sym, MagicNumber) == 0)
You may need to change the "MagicNumber" variable name to match whatever you have it listed as in your code.
No way I'll wreck this... It's a beer truck!

Hello Bruce,

Please see attached EA and maybe if you can add the function in for me. I have tried to do it myself but i think i didn't reference it properly.

Thanks alot.
