Need help creating an EA

Hi all, I’m looking for an EA to do some very basic (in my opinion) tasks. Maybe one exists already that can do all of these, if that’s the case, could someone please point me in the right direction? I’m currently using multiple EAs and some manual input to do the job, but would love to just “set it, and forget it.” :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyways, here’s what I would like the EA to be able to do:

“Mandatory”

  1. Place a trade everyday at a set time (for two currency pairs at the same time)
  2. Set a SL and TP
  3. Be able to move SL to BE at a set number of pips
  4. Close the trades at a set time (if they have not already reached TP)

"Optional"
5) It would be nice to have an option to close both trades when a net amount of pips have been reached between the two trades (regardless if one has already hit its SL. I.E. Close trades if +50 combined pips. If one trade instantly hit 25 pip SL and closed itself, it would only close the other still active trade when it hit 75 pips…does that make sense? Basically a net pip amount for the day…)
6) I’d like the EA to adjust the size of my position each night to be a percentage of my total equity. I can always just set this manually each day, but, like I mentioned, with my strategy I’d like to be able to just set it and forget it.

Thanks!

I can write this EA for you

Hi Vijaygpfx,

Can you write an EA for me?.. It’s a lot more complexed than the last request.

I recently learned that Steve Hopwood made a Bollinger Band squeeze EA back in the day (I attached the EA) … I would like to get some help on modifying his EA.

Really all I would like to use from his Bollinger Band Squeeze EA is the calculation of the Bollinger Band squeezing/contracting, everything else I would like modified… This is what I would like:

A.) [B]Set Pending[/B]… ABOVE and BELOW Bollinger Bands @ least 10 to 15 pips away to avoid a fakout!.. 2 BUY Pendings and 2 SELL Pendings.
* Each pending calculating lot size of 1/2 of 1% for each for a total of 1% of the account balance from each pair of Pendings.
** and instead of Calculated the Distance from the Stop Loss to Entry to get positions size, I would like the EA to Calculate the Distance from the Entry to the 1st Take Profit to get the lot size.
:35:

B.) [B]The Stop Loss[/B]… placed on the opposite side of the Bollinger Bands Entry… after Pending is hit and has entered into a Position, I would like the Stop Loss to move to the opposite side (inside) of the Bollinger Band
:cool:

C.) [B]Take Profit[/B]… If trading on a 1 Hour Chart. EA checks Support/Resistance from Higher Time frame (4 Hour Chart)… FOR EXAMPLE For 2 BUY Pendings. Identify closest Resistance Level (on next Higher Timeframe4HR) for 1st BUY Pending Take Profit, then Identify next Higher Resistance Level (on next Higher Timeframe4HR) for 2nd BUY Pending Take Profit …

And Reversed for 2 SELL Pendings. Identify closest Support Level (on next Higher Timeframe4HR) for 1st SELL Pending Take Profit, then Identify next Lower Support Level (on next Higher Timeframe4HR) for 2nd SELL Pending Take Profit
:60:

[B]In Conclusion[/B]… I would like it to be for almost every time frame except 1 Minute and Monthly (5, 15, 30 minutes and 1& 4 Hour, Daily, Weekly charts all yes please)… An Option to change the Risk % Percentage (REMINDER of LOT CalculationFrom Entry to 1st Take Profit, instead of the traditional Stop Loss to Entry for me, OK) of account Balance for Pending Orders would be nice.

Also, A Free Margin protection would also be great!.. For Example If my Free Margin got to a specific Low level ($1,000 acct. /Free Margin $400) the EA would not set any more Pendings would be SO AWESOME!!

thank you for your help. :51:

hi imsuccessful,

I can code the ea as it is bit complex and it time consuming. Another thing is i can do modification only if i have created EA because i prefer to start from scratch instead of modification. if you are interested let me know as it is not free of charge and few thing can not be done as you mention to check resitance/support from higher time frame etc

Hi buddy,

Thanks for your quick reply… I have an “Fibonacci Pivot Indicator” that I would like the EA to read (I attached it) it would be great if I could get some modifications done to the Fib.Piv.Indicator first… So the EA could read it properly

The Fibonacci Pivot Indicator I have, is a Fibonacci Daily Pivot S/R indicator.
It works very nice… But I need some extra features like:

  1. Add Extra Feature for Weekly and Monthly Pivot, Support - Resistance
  2. Exclude Sunday Candles. Add GMT offset

I know this is very simple job for an experience programmer, like yourself.
I have attached the file, please edit it and add such extra feature and
share it everywhere as it is mostly needed. (Me first though K.)

Thank you…

After this is fixed than we can talk about the EA because without this the EA can not work properly. :51:

** I just would like to note, before I forget when we talk about the EA later**

more functions for the EA… + Add in comments of the Pending order what time frame the EA found that Pending Order on/from… & what Take Profit it is going for #1/1st (closest) or #2/2nd (further)

Also instead of going for 4 HR Support and Resistance on H1… Daily OR Higher.
