Hi All
As a thank you to this forum, I decided to code an EA on a relatively successful trading system I personally use.
True thanks to Admin and CrazyProg for helping with the ever so annoying coding questions.
This EA used 3 MA's, but instead of just entering a trade when all the MA's are in the right direction, we wait for a retracement , ( it sends fewer signals this way, but your stops etc can be tighter now).
You can adjust the MA price and methods, so a suggestion is to run optimizer to get the right values for each pair.
A few more things:
You can hide your SL and TP from your broker, in which case the EA will not only close the orders when the prices are reached, but it will draw lines on your chart so you can see where your levels are.
Also you can choose trading times, (very basic, as I am not that skilled in coding yet to include days and minutes etc), it will only open trades between the times specified if set to "true", it will not open new trades outside the times, but it will still manage open trades if SL and TP are hidden from the broker.

Please enjoy, and any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks for your EA. I did some back tests and it didn't do bad. I also didn't see a lot of errors generated. So good job.

Maybe not many errors because I don't use the GetLastError? ;)
Do you suggest I include it?
I only use it when I am busy coding to see where I made a mistake

I meant actual errors given by the MT4 and not printed from the EA. For example, if invalid stops are used then there will be an error 130. That error will occur regardless if GetLastError() is used or not.

Hi. I like it. Don't stop.

Most likely you did it correctly. In any case always think - would you like to pay for your work at least $500? ;)

Good luck!

Even with a good back test, it doesn't mean an EA is good or not. Back tests are just meant for general testing and real testing is what matters.

When I said "Good job" before, I meant he did a good job in coding the EA. He is a new coder and he is sharing one of his first EAs here. Considering he is a new coder, it's a good job in my opinion.

For sure.
If I can make extra money, why not?

Then run back tests on strategy tester, and get the pair(s) and setting which suit you.
Strategy tester is free to run.

Hi Somoyo

If you have a trading idea which you want to code to a robot (or EA) there are many coders here on the forum who can help you.
Post your trading idea in the "New EA Coding" section of the forum, and I (We) can have a look at it.

if in my opinion we better do our own backtest and the point is, we know better and understand how the EA works, besides that after knowing how it works we can determine how much safe capital

Indeed EA is very easy for traders to make transactions especially those who are busy. the important thing is that EA is always updated so as not to lose
