Simple Modification on EA request

Hi,

Can any coders help me to modify the following ea:
1. Add candle size filter ( if candle size more than 30pips no entry)
2. Option to change the exit criteria to "Exit position on the close of the next bar after entry"

Thanks

Hi,

I'll take a look, maybe I can do it.
1. Current candle, or last candle?
2. You mean position is opened on candle1 and closed when candle 3 opens?

BTW, did you try to contact the author of this EA?

1. Current candle.
2. Correct

Thanks

On what time frame do you usually use this EA, and like how many positions are opened a day?

Hi

I trade this on m15.
At each time there will only be 1 trade at a time because the trades will be closed on the next candle's closing.
1 day can have many trades but I will limit the trades with time filter from Europe open to Europe close.

Hi,

Here it is, but it should be tested. I didn't had much time to test, because after I almost finished, I overwrote the modified file with the original by mistake... So I had to redo everything.

It should work with one opened position, but if position is already opened and EA is re-initialized, position will be not closed after 2nd candle close. (I can fix that later if you want.)

At the bottom of Inputs, you can set the candle size (difference between candel open and close price).

Thanks.

I will run it on demo first.

Hi Kis,

Sorry on the miscommunication of exit criteria.
Actually i wanted the ea to exit the trade at the open of the candle after the entry candle.

Position is opened on candle 1 and closed when candle 2 opens

Hope u can modify it.


Regarding the candle filter, the signal candle must not be more than 30pips for entry.
If the candle where the ma crossover happen is more than 30pips, there will be no entry.
I will test this filter on demo next week.


Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry, my mistake, I as said had no time to test... I hope is ok now.
I modified it, and added a new input, so you can set any exit candle you want.

About the bar size filter. When position is opened, please check experts log in terminal, you should see a message like:
universalMACrossEA + ecn 1.02_mod EURUSD,M1: BarTime when position was opened: 1361574480 Barsize when position was opened: 20
Please test it, but I think this should be fine. What can happen is, specially on higher timeframe, that in moment of position opening abs(candle open - candle close) <30, but later candle becomes bigger. But of course, test it, and if doesn't work, let me know.

Have a nice weekend.

Hello,

Hope you are having a good weekend.

I tried running the ea but it couldn't filter the trades with the candle filter.
Can you please check?

tHanks again. kiss

Hi,

I have to test it forward, but I think the problem is, that this EA, opens the position at the first tick of the current candle, so candle size is always 0, when position is opened. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when I test I always got BarSize/Candle size: 0.
