Looking for a Ea programming person. Any suggestions please send details. Thanks

2

What did you want programmed? Some detail would help

3

I have a trading system that I would like to use as a EA programed in metatrader 4. I’m not a programmer, and do not know coding. I can tell you what I want the Ea to do, in words, but I can not code the program.I would like to learn how to code but have not found anyonr to help me.

If it’s only a matter of getting help for learning to code, that should not be a problem. Check out my coding tutorial:

I have a EA that I cannot get to run. Could you look at the EA for me?

6

I look at MT4 EAs only for money ;). But when to try to program the system with Zorro and can’t get it to run, I’ll look into your code and help.

7

From my understanding Zorro is only compatible with FXCM so it may not be for everyone. If there was more flexibility in brokers then it may get a larger following.

9

Zorro uses FXCM for downloading prices, but you can use it with all brokers that have a trading API.

10

Yes but it’d be more practical to get prices from the broker you’re trading with and how many retail brokers offer traders with API with a low enough requirement to meet?

At best, one could use a 3rd party MT4 API bridge to Zorro, but I think that would be too much work for little gain.

Don’t get me wrong, Zorro looks like a very nice piece of software. It’d be more useful if it were more accessible to more traders. But I understand how difficult that task can be.

The following error is given when I compile the EA in MetaEditor

Long Moving average does not have enough Bars in history to double quotes needed
Any suggestions on how to fix the error. Thanks

//±-----------------------------------------------------------------+
//| expert start function |
//±-----------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()
{
// Moving Average only run expert Advisor if there
// is enough Candle/Bars in history

if(Bars < Long_MA_Period+1)
{
if(Istesting()==false)
{

Comment (“Long Moving average does not have enough Bars in history to
open a trade!
”",
“Must be at least”, ““Long_MA_Period, bar to
perform technical analysis.””);

If I remember right, MT4 does not allow a string to go over several lines. Also, several double quotes are at a wrong place. The comment should look like this:

Comment ("Long Moving average does not have enough Bars in history to open a trade!
",
"Must be at least", Long_MA_Period, 
"bars to perform technical analysis.");

Thanks for the information. I did make the changes that you suggested. I now have one error. The error is located at the end of the line
"Must be at least", Long_MA_Period,

the error read ‘,’ -double quotes needed

Any suggestions?

Thanks

my suggestion:

[I]Long_MA_Period[/I] is not a valid variable, thats why the compiler thinks it is a string (text) and expects double quotes around them

I build my robots with ai. Testing and sorting out manually.
