<p>Can anyone code a Time based EA for me? The settings for the EA should be:

HH:MM:SS
Open Buy:When Close Price is above Open Price at time = 00:10:00
Close Buy:at 50Pips
OpenSell:When Close Price is below Open Price at time = 00:10:00
Close Sell:at 50Pips

SL for both should be 50Pips
</p>

Hello ArslanHyder!

I have written a simple code, which I hope will help you out.


A few remarks:

  1. I set the lot size to the minimum available lot size for the given currency,
  2. the trade will be issued between **:10:00 and **:10:05, meaning a 5 sec gap. This is coded into the EA, to prevent trading again after a stop loss exit, but get lets the EA enough time to calculate, even if your system is throttled.
  3. You won't be able to test it in the strategy tester, since the EA uses multiple time frames, to get the **:00:00 time, and the **:10:00 time. (I might write a different solution to this if I get some sleep.)


Cheers

Hi, I see you helped someone to code an EA. Could you help me too? What I need as a minimum is for the manually set SL to set to BE once the profit of 1:1 of the original SL is reached.

There you go!
The EA moves the SL to break even when the price exceeds the specified profit target (in pips) .
Works on all FX pairs.
Shows the current settings in the upper right corner. (To change the settings click on the smiley face).
If you want it to work on multiple pairs you have to apply the EA on each pair/chart respectively and choose your settings.

Thank you. Can it be set to different number of pips for different pairs running at the same time?
