​My sincere apologies to all who downloaded yesterday. While I was conducting testing on the new features, I renamed the program and as a result, I accidently uploaded an older ex4.

**** Please re- download today ****

Later today, I will start the tutorial series on creating your own Custom User indicators and then you will be able to leverage the power of this new feature. Also I will commence discussions on making the transition from a losing investor to a winning investor (possibly full-time ??)

We haven't even tapped the surface of this new feature and you will reap the benefits (thanks to Liovannix's suggestion). Non programmers get ready to become much more productive with this new simple tool.

This work is so impressive that I finally signed up an account at FF just to say Thanks Dave, This is truly the mother of all EAs!

However, I noticed that when I load the "RSI with SL and TP.set" for backtesting, the EA doesnt take any trades, attached is a screenshot of the input parameters after loading the set file. I went through the pdf and I dont think I missed something. any ideas?

Once again thanks alot for this brilliant piece of work

Sorry Ahly that was my fault. In my haste I did not re-save that set file when I added the new features and when the parameters were loaded from the set file, they did not go to the correct inputs.

Once again I have amended the download at Page #1 to reflect the updated set file.

I'm sorry that I am inconveniencing all downloaders but please stick with me as this is evolving into something special as you will see in my next post. I am a little tied up with Family duties today but hope to post later with ground breaking info.

  • Edited 1:59am Mar 27, 2016 12:44am | Edited 1:59am
I have enclosed a basic indicator which simply plots a line of the close prices. If you place the files in your indicators directory and attach the file to a chart you will see a basic grey line on the chart. If you click on the mq4 file the MT4 editor will open and the source code is revealed. In line 30 you will see the following line.

OutputValue[Counter] = Close[Counter];

by substituting this line with these 3 lines you will have made a custom indicator which can be read by Agility Trader. In this case there are no parameters

OutputValue[Counter] = 0;
if (Close[3] > Close[4] && Close[2] > Close[3] && Close[1] > Close[2]) OutputValue[Counter] = 1;
if (Close[3] < Close[4] && Close[2] < Close[3] && Close[1] < Close[2]) OutputValue[Counter] = 2;

What you have just achieved is a custom set of rules can be interpreted by Agility Trader. The buffer has been filled with a 1 value for buy trades and a 2 value for sell trades. Just set the condition on Agility Trader to read the values of the buffer and trade decisions will be made

If UserIndicator_BullsandBears = Nominated value of 1 open a Buy Trade
If UserIndicator_BullsandBears = Nominated value of 2 open a Sell Trade
​
You will have simply filled the buffer OuputValue with your own numbers of 0 (no signal), 1 (buy signal), or 2 sell signal. This is not particularly earthshattering stuff but the implications of providing your own lines are significant. Over the next few weeks I will be providing snippets of code which will be easily understood and you will be able to leverage the power of a custom indicator. I will make a video on this post.

By the way the code says 3 consecutive Bull candles - BUY and 3 consecutive Bear candles - SELL

Brilliant stuff, Dave_C! Many thanks for this.

Been testing the latest download out but i'm facing an issue with the trades being opened in the strategy tester without a SL and TP (i've set the nominated values). Not sure if i missed something with the settings but any idea if that's expected?

Same here, I think there is still something missing in order placement, SL and TP , I am sure Dave will repost another version. A work with this magnitude is hard to finalize in a single step, it will probably evolve over the next weeks ...

I am aware of a problem with SL and am working on the issue and should have it resolved in the next 12 hours. Thanks for your patience.

Because the EA is so large, sometimes I need to work through the implications of any change.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful EA... finally found some EA that I can customize based on standard/custome indicators.

However, may I request () if you can add an option for Martingale/Grid when the trade went different way than expected?

Option for Martingale type wager increase is there. Please read the thread and manual. No plans for Grid.

​Upgrade at Post #1 to correct SL and TP updates. Set files amended to accommodate User Indicator changes and small changes to the companion program.

I know the changes are thick and fast and I possibly rushed the User Indicator concept because the potential is so massive. Thanks for bearing with me but the program of changes will now stabilize. Believe me I will not rest until any mistakes are removed.

Also enclosed below is set file (rename the file .set) for the discussion at Post #89.

More on this concept later today together with commencement of discussion on change from an loss making trader to a profitable (possibly full time) trader. I received quite an interesting PM where I was asked direct questions on this subject and I intend to respond and start to unlock this newly discovered gem of user indicators.

Here is an excerpt of the PM

"So l am wondering if you have found an automated set-up that really works for a livingwhat ever it is...or a combination of...

If your answer is yes...l fall flat on my back...l have tried so many robots, none have delivered so far...they works in certain conditions and one day they all failed big time...Then l came to the conclusion that automated trading for a living was just a pipe dream...But when l see a skilled person like you able to create an extremely complex robot and give it away for free...You gave me hope

So l am not asking a favor from you...Just the truth...Did you make the dream come true..."

​Just a general post, if any of you experience frustrations, please let me know because I am feeding off this forum also.

As an example I was inclined to dismiss Liovannix's suggestion but the fact that I didn't has inspired me, so I want to pass that back to you!
