Strategy Trader: Custom Indicator and EA Library

FXCM’s programming team and course instructors have been working on custom indicators and EA’s for the Strategy Trader platform so I will create a library of indicators and EA’s you can download directly from this thread. Each indicator and EA to a post so you will need to download the zip file, unzip the .FXD file for Strategy Trader, and then add it to the Strategy Trader platform using the Strategy Language Editor. I have included steps below on how you can access the Strategy Language Editor:

The economic calendar indciator will post economic news announcements directly onto the chart along with the actual figure released. The indicator will display any economic events relevant to the currency pair displayed in the chart. For example if you are viewing USD/JPY, it will display economic releases relevant to the US and Japan. The indicator pulls data from the DailyFX economic calendar.

The trade session indicator will draw a box around the the candlesticks occurring during the relevant major forex trading periods: NY, London, Tokyo & Australia. You can specify the color for each period in the inputs menu.

This strategy trades off the Tenkan/Kijun Crossover from the Ichimoku indicator. A new position is opened when there is a crossover, and the lot size is dependent on signal strength. For example, if a short signal occurs below the cloud (Kumo), then the strategy opens 2 lots since this is considered a strong signal. If a short signal occurs above the cloud (Kumo), then the strategy only opens 1 lot since this is considered a weak signal.

This EA is coded compliments of DailyFX+ Course Instructor James Stanley.
