Could somebody help me find a script?

Hello everyone!

Attached is the 3 Level ZZ Semafore which indicates HH,LL.

What I'm looking for:

I need a script that would detect the last semafore dot,place a stop loss below/above it (plus possibility to add spread to the stop loss) and then calculate a lot size and place buy/sell order.

Is it possible to make?

May be you could advice me any other way how to quickly and precisely place an order.I need to be as precise as possible coz I trade 5m and every pip counts in the end.

Thanks in advance!

As I understand it this indi repaints.
By the time that you get the valid point (2-3bars later) then your entry point is long gone.... so could not get the tight entries that you request.

It does repaint,but 99 percent of the time my entry is the next candle so i usually place order before new semafor appears.

Semafor is just a way to detect swing high,swing low...It doesn't necessarily have to react to semafor location...I just place my stoploss in strategically suitable location - above/below swing high,low.

I thought that it would be easier to explain what I want using semaphor.

From your description it isnīt clear what you want and how you trade.

Is it countertrend or breakout ?

Provide a screenshot and paint what you need.

It looks like the idea is a script to use when the semaphore shows up on a new high or low.

Except reading the rules, it probably needs to be a one time called EA not a script, as it has to calculate entry size, whether it's a buy or sell, where the pending entry goes, and stop distance + spread, depending on trade direction for the order.

You're right.It's my fault that I haven't provided screenshot.Here you go.

I'm trading basic ABC(123) strategy,nothing fancy.I enter once the signal candle is broken by entry candle and what I need is script to immediately place stop loss where lime line is,calculate size of the position and open sell order.I would initiate the script manually using hot keys.

Hope its a bit clearer now.

Yes, with your screenshot and explanation it is crystal clear and we donīt need a crystal ball anymore.

The basic abc(123) is different, you would enter at the break of B or 2, what you are doing is enter at pullbacks ---> much earlier than abc method.

Nevertheless, you could use 2 tools for this.

With both tools you will get orderlines on the chart.
You move them with your mouse and lot-size is calculated automatically.

Should be fast enough for your purpose.

There are other tools (maybe better ones) for this, I am sure, but have no time to do a search for you.

Oh, forgot to mention VO-Pro from hanover.
