Hi all you highly proficient MT4 programmers out there,

This is an extract from a post I made yesterday in AHA's EA Factory thread: https://www.forexsoutheast.asia/fore...urrencies.html

I see this as a simple EA that would execute one entry order if the OPEN is above/below the fashion line value, place the take profit and stop loss values and do nothing else (i.e. turn off itself and wait for me to enter the next set of entry conditions and reset the EA).

This way I'll be able to assess each entry, reject those that I don't like for some reason (non Reward/Risk ratio, fashion line too steep, etc) and tweak the halt and targets to match my personal version of the system.

My perfect input parameters are:
Trade Direction: LONG/SHORT
Parcel Size: xx contracts
Trend Line Value: -LRB-xx-RRB-x.xx-LRB-xx-RRB- [I wish to enter this manually; I don't want the EA to compute any worth ]
Stop Margin: (x)xx pips [I want to enter this manually; I don't want the EA to compute any worth ]
Take Profit Margin: (x)xx pips [I want to enter this manually; I don't want the EA to compute any worth ]
Entry Gap Filter: (x)xx pips [if the bar opens more than xx pips from the Trend Line Value discard the trade]

I feel that lots of traders who work full time (or sleeping at nights!) And have difficulty being in the 4HR in their computers rollover times would get benefit from this kind of EA, if it is being used by them in Demo or Live accounts for your Mouteki system or some system that utilises 4HR bars.
Accrete followed with a great answer: https://www.forexsoutheast.asia/gene...e-meeting.html

and I have decided to repost here, asking if some one of you gun traders out there have a little spare time to knock something together along the lines indied.

I am sure that there are lots of followers of various systems on the market setting alarm clocks for your wee hours who'd be forever grateful for an easy, functional and relaible EA based trading tool which can do the task.

As noted in a further post from the EA Factory thread, my my attempts at MT4 code writing so far have been weak and fruing to say the very least.

Thanks in advance for All contributions.

Mike
