Hello ! Is there any robot based on the alligator indicator + EMA (233) + Stochastic? And what is your opinion on the strategy ?

Hello ! Is there a robot based on Alligator + EMA (233) + Stochastic indicator? If you can give me a link . And what is your opinion on the strategy ?

The Moving Average is clearly unnecessary here, because the Alligator already consists of three moving averages. That leaves Alligator + Stochastic:

Alligator + Stochastic

 
How to check in the script/advisor the fact of the end of indicator calculation, which of them is called? So far I've had to put Sleep(), but I've lost half a day not understanding why the values in buffers are zero...
 
It's always midnight.
 
Aleksey Vyazmikin:
How do I check in the script/advisor to see if the calculation of the indicator is finished and which of them is called? So far I've had to put Sleep(), but I've lost half a day not understanding why the values in buffers are zero...

I use the following cycle

 int n = 0;
    do
     {
      // Пытаемся получить нужное значение;
      if(значение не получено)
       {
        n++;
        Sleep(100);
       }
     }
    while(значение не получено && n < 7 && !IsStopped());
 
Alexey Viktorov:

I use a cycle like this.

Thanks. I was hoping there was a standard tool for this, it's just not clear why buffers should be filled with zeros and then calculated values put there - it would give a buffer copying error and it would be fine...

 
Aleksey Vyazmikin:

Thank you. I was hoping that there was an in-house tool for this, it's just not clear why buffers should be filled with zeros and then calculated values put there - it would give a buffer copying error and that would be fine...

I have internal tools, I once tried to figure it out, but to no avail. I can't even remember now in which section of documentation it's mentioned. Something to do with synchronisation, if I remember correctly.

 

Good afternoon, I am writing an indicator based on 5-band Bollinger lines, as a final step I started to write conditions for forming a pattern in relation to the indicator lines, but during testing I get 2 variants: either the alert somehow closes itself, or nothing happens. Here is a fragment:

Can you tell me what can be fixed here, if there is anything to fix?

                 const int prev_calculated,  // обработано баров на предыдущем вызове

Hello.

First position volume =0.1, last =0.2, how do I get the volume of the last position =0.2?

In the hedge account this is the case:

double Lot_pos_b()
  {
   int total=0;
   double lot=0;
   for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1;i>=0;i--)
      if(m_position.SelectByIndex(i)) // selects the position by index for further access to its properties
         if(m_position.Symbol()==m_symbol.Name() && m_position.Magic()==m_magic)
            if(m_position.PositionType()==POSITION_TYPE_BUY)
              {
               lot=m_position.Volume();
              }
//---
   return(lot);
  }
On a netting account, how do I get the lot? this function returns 0.3 instead of 0.2.

View trades belonging to the position and see their volume.

Just unprint all found trades of a position (each position's properties) - figure out what to search for there.
