sharingan9: Hi, your approach has intrigued me . As soon as I am doing with some projects I would be glad to code you up an EA. To all of the questions you have on your video, I say it can and has been done. Plus, yes we can use the indicators without the source code to generate signals that an EA can detect and then turn into a trade. However, there are conditions that are required. Like the objects that it draws cannot be drawn as background objects. If the coder has placed a value to a buffer that indicates that either a main signal or several buffers that show the conditions that would make everything very simple.

With that said JensItzig's indicator is basically all that would be required. Unfortunately he didn't pull a buffer out that would tell when a signal happens. That's ok. when I get a chance I will examine the objects he draws and see if they can provide data for an EA.


In any event if I have to I will build it from scratch. Actually I'll just use code that I already have LOl.
If you have ever seen the Freebie thread (Good ol Dredding's Price action with indicators), you will see that pivots were also used in that approach. I had the opportunity to code that EA and we got it detecting when price would Bounce or be rejected from which ever pivot on whichever TF.

Anyhow... when you get a chance could you PM me the rate of trades you see per day and some sort of average on win/loss performance. Didn't you have an Explorer up ?? That would of been real informative.
Take care and I'll get er started soon.Jess

Quoting JensItzig
Added your percentage S&R. It will not be shown by default because it's not part of the initial strategy. So you have tu turn it on by setting showPercent2OpenSAndR to true. The several S&R levels can be defined by sPercent2OpenSAndRValues as text, so use , as separator for values and . as decimal point. The values will be interpreted as percent change. {file}

Very fast and clean job! JensItzig you are a very good coder, thank you for all your help.

sharingan9:
I've been studying your videos. So based on what you sayof TP and SL, you basically risk about 10% per trade but you usually end up with about 5 to 6% profit, right? I like your target and I really like how you handle the number of trades per week. Your control your exposure by aiming for a low number of trades. So even though you may be risking 10% I think you have a fairly good risk based on probabilty of exposure. Excellent.

So here's my initial algo idea for this EA:
1. At the beginning of each Day on the 4H TF the EA would look at the ADR, DR or DS, plus structure.
2. Then depending on which of the rules it meets it would place an "invisible" pending order. Actually it would just be a marker. Of course here the EA is guided by what the user selects in the inputs. This would satisfy your condition of being able to pick which entry approach to use. In the same token the EA would look at the possible entry point and see which condition is met and then proceed like that.
3. So then the EA would wait for price to get to the levels were it placed the markers.
4. Once price hits those markers then before EA places an order or trade it would make a final analysis.
5. Once the analysis is ok then EA would calculate the SL and TP (using the 15TF ADR or whatever user decides to use) and proceed to place a real pending order.
6. EA will monitor pending order and once it detects that the order has been filled it would then proceed to use other critirea to determine if it needs close trade at 50 to 60% just like you do.
7. The EA will keep a running tab on the percent gain for the week. The user will be able to select target % for the week too.

BTW JensItzig indicator is very well done however it does not provide any data for external use, no problem. We'll work with the indicators that are provided.

I'll see if I can start this weekend.

Hey buddy. Thanks for the input. I did not know an EA can be that sophisticated. I like your EA ideas, very intelligent. If you can try to make an EA like that I would really appreciate it. Thanks again buddy

Hey buddy. I just saw this message haha. The winrate is very good so far with the past 2-3 months being around 83% but again 2-3 months data is good data but not the most reliable so I thought an EA would give me better insight as well as catch the trades I miss. I took the explorer down because it was a demo account and I have gone live now so I wont be trading the demo. I now use the demo for just practicing trades that are not related to this system but if you want I can put it back up and show you the data. Just ignore the trades taken from on December 8, 2016 because they were not part of the system

If you talking about use of buffers to be read out via iCustom call. Yes there are some, but not enough at all. But i always use classes so i can use the same code on indis and EAs.
As i know from sharingan he already has given the EA programming to someon else. If he had not done that i had also provided an EA for it. So i would say he should state again if he wanted that done or not. If he wants one i can provide the classes for it, then you don't need to call indicators via icustom or must do the same work twice. I can't provide the code for full colored indicators and candle drawing in MT4 for free here so i will only sharing the classes for pivots, adr and the S&R (that's still work in progress - i don't like how Shved implemented the merge strategy but i will use his approach for the first and fast result)

JensItzig:
I just eyeballed the essential indicators and all the objects are available. So it's really already all there for an EA to take advantage of. But if you could just create one buffer (or maybe two) that would have a value in it when the signal appears. You do not have to show the buffer on the chart, it would just show on the Data Window and it could be like this:

TM_PivotSuite 0.0 ==> no signal candle
TM_PivotSuite 1.0 ==> Long signal candle
TM_PivotSuite -1.0 ==> short signal candle

Or if have run out of buffers you can designate the name of an object right on the candle. I think you are using a rectangle to color the candle yellow right?
So either that or an arrow object can be used. But in the name or description you place the relevant info. for example you can call that object:
jens_SignalCandle_HitDS3_BelowADR_EURUSD_2016.12.09 11:30_1.05435

So each signal candle would have that as a name or description. Then all we do is search for your "Jens_SignalCandle" and once we get the string we parse it by using the separator "_" and the EA ends up with the following info
HitDS3 - What pivot it touches or crosses
BelowADR - IF it is above/below the ADR
EURUSD - The pair of course
2016.12.09 11:30 - When it was detected
1.05435 - and at what price level it was detected

So you see you don't need any more buffers you just to know how to stuff important info into a name LOL.
Here's an example of my own pivot indicator. Notice that the data window contains one buffer but has no data at all. No PROBLEM
cause all the lines on the chart each have all the info I need in their very names.

Folks:
Sorry for the long responses. It's that I like to explain things so you know what is going on. I will try to keep it to a minimum or at the least I'll make my point right up front so u don't have to read the babbling LOL.

JensItzig: If you are up to it. This is what I propose. Go ahead and finish the indicator and add the zone part as best you can. Don't worry about the logic just ensure that we can detect if price has hit below/above ADR and if that happens, have it detect where D3/DS2 and the zones at the same time. You can then either share that info using a couple of buffers or place it in the an object name, preferable something that is pointing to the signal candle. Then we can just have an EA monitor and take care of doing all the analysis that the author requires to create an order.

Hope this makes sense . We'll take it from there...

sharingan9:
Question, so just to understand when do you determine to set a pending order?
What I mean is is it anticipated or after the fact. Of course all the requirements are met in each instance.
Since you videos are mainly after the fact it's unclear to me when you place the pending order. In some cases I get the impression that you placed a pending order ahead of time and that is why price dives down and hits it. So do you anticipate a buy/sell condition ahead of time and place a pending? Or do you place a pending order the moment that you the required conditions (this may not be the case cause you might not be in front of the computer all the time). Or is it a matter of placing a pending order after you have seen that it happened? I hope my questions make sense LOL.

Hey buddy. i open up 21 pairs and i look for where pivots line up with zones and i set alerts 10-20 pips above the pivots. Once i get an alert, i then set up the pending order

Awesome, thank you. I'll add that logic to the EA.

After viewing the sunday video with the question if it's possible to extract news from a source i added it to the indicator to show that it will be possible.

The next news or if multiple news are within the next hour will be printed bold. 30 minutes after and before the news they will be printed red instead black as alert.

Thank you. I'm happy that you like my works. That means a lot to me that it getting such positive feedback.

I know i owe you all the support & resistance informations here. But i don't get that much time over the xmas holidays (family and most of all the baby requested all the time i had). I will deliver it as fast as possible.

In the meantime i count on sharingan9 to bring us more details about the strategy so we can learn from him and then hopefully use the indi to trade accordingly to his rules
