Moving Average Retest EA
Please don't post randomly in any section. Your question is not related to the section you posted.
MT4/mql4 has it's own section on the forum.
I have moved your topic to the correct section later, please don't create an other topic.
Does anyone have an idea how I can code this?
//check condition for bullish retest(just a pseudo code! do not try compiling!
High[2]>FMA && Low[2]<FMA && Close[1]>FMA && Bid>High[1]
Unfortunately it didn't work.I want to open a SHORT trade if the following rules are true:
- Stoch over level 80
- FMA (50) crossed the SMA (150) to the downside
- Price retests the SMA (150)
But i'm a bit lost with the retest and it opens a ton of trades .The EA is based on this youtube video:
What I've already done:
int m_twentyticks = 0; bool m_opentrades = false; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert tick function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnTick() { string signal =""; double K0 = iStochastic(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,5,5,5,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,0); double K1 = iStochastic(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,5,5,5,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,1); double D0 = iStochastic(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,5,5,5,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,0); double D1 = iStochastic(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,5,5,5,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,1); double SMA1 = iMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,150,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); double SMA2 = iMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,150,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1); double FMA1 = iMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,50,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); double FMA2 = iMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_CURRENT,50,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1); if(m_twentyticks == 20) { m_twentyticks = 0; m_opentrades = false; } m_twentyticks++; //Sell Conditions if((FMA2>SMA2) && (FMA1>SMA1) && (K0>80) && (D0>80) && (D0>K0) && (D1<K1) && !m_opentrades) { OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,5,Bid,2,(Bid+0.0002),(Bid-0.0005),NULL,magic_number); m_opentrades = true; return; } //Buy Conditions if((FMA2<SMA2) && (FMA1<SMA1) && (K0<20) && (D0<20) && (D0<K0) && (D1>K1) && !m_opentrades) { OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,5,Ask,2,(Bid-0.0002),(Bid+0.0005),NULL,magic_number); m_opentrades = true; return; } }

Brother you‘re completely right! That was my mistake! Thanks for your help! On a sell the FMA needs to be lower than the SMA of course :-) And thanks a lot for the corrections! Gonna try this tomorrow😊

There is a typo mistake on SMA_touch() function. You should reverse that . Use SMA_touch(ORDER_TYPE_BUY) for buy side and SMA_touch(ORDER_TYPE_SELL) for sell side

Hi guys
I'm developing a simple EA which is based on two Moving Averages (50 and 150). I made the code already for the MA break but now i need another condition, where the EA should only open a trade when the FMA gets retested.
Does anyone have an idea how I can code this? I uploaded a picture when you can see the trade the EA should open (after retesting the FMA). I developed with MQL4 :-)
Thanks in advance!
