The X - Universal Trading Expert Advisor, Constructor, Strategy Builder

The X

Universal Trading Expert Advisor, Automatic trading robot with integrated strategies

  

This Expert Advisor includes all the useful functions that have been used in all the Expert Advisors including the function of averaging.

1. Uses signals from 20 standard indicators included in MetaTrader 4 package.
2. The function of averaging allows bringing an unprofitable position to profit by creating a grid of positions in the price movement direction. If the price moves against a position, the averager will open additional positions on the basis of your settings, thus it increases the volume and sets a common take profit for all positions by the given symbol.
3. The martingale function allows using the standard martingale mode.
4. Trailing stop, break even, trading time, auto lot, closing by total profit/loss. All these function are available in the full version of the Expert Advisor.

 

These two EA are built on the same basis (MQL CODE and functions) and differ only in the fact that:

The X  = Universal EA , This adviser who works for  standard indicators of terminal MetaTrader (about 20 standard strategies of standard indicators).

The xCustomEA  = This Universal Advisor who works for  custom indicators.

1. This advisor no has built-in strategies. You can set custom indicators in this EA.
2. This means that you can choose a custom indicator, which shows the signals with arrows and trade on it.
3. Also in this EA you can program your strategy on any indicators that are on the Internet!
4. You can download ready-made strategies that have been programmed for this advisor. This list is updated whenever possible.
5. You can download all signals from the strategy The X - and use your custom changes to the strategies!

If you do not know how and do not want to learn programming and you enough of standard indicators, your choice = The the X  .

If you know how to program, and you have an interest in the study of other indicators, your choice = The xCustomEA  .

Functions of these advisors = Equal!

 

 IndSigToTrade..FILTER_IndSigToTrade2, FILTER_IndSigToTrade5. 

Signal

- occurs when there are all conditions for a signal, such as the fact of crossing the MA line. Or the emergence of a new point of ZigZag.

For example: the level of intersection 70 is RSI indicator signal. And if the RSI is above level 70, it's a filter. 

Signal - that is what appears at the time of receipt of quotations, is fixed on the bar. Advisor accepts the fact of the signal.

For example : I turn on the light. This is a signal because the light just turned on. When you turn on the light, the man woke up. This is a signal.

Position can be opened at the commission of a signal fact crossed the line, then opened position. If the lines have been crossed before, it is not a signal. The signal has already passed. 

Filter

- This is the current position of the indicator, such as current position MA lines relative to each other. Or the current last node ZIGZAG 

Filter - is that at the moment shows the indicator. It is not the fact of the signal. This is the current position of the indicator. 

For example : The light was burning. This filter because the light has been switched on and it is already burning. When the light of a person is not sleeping. This filter.

signal filtering occurs on the current indicator. If Fast MA above the slow MA, it is a filter that must be opened only BUY.

The main signal is added to No Signal  

When choosing which advisor ignores the main signal and trades on the filters. 

When using the main indicator signal is generated as it is! on the current bar.! 

This means that the signal to open appears as a fact of the signal. If the signal has a filter does not permit the open position, then the signal is ignored. 

When using NoSignal, you can ignore the fact of the main signal and work on filters. 

When using filters, the signal is considered to be the current position indicators regarding their signals, but the fact of no signal.

For example :

Signal - this is the intersection of two MA between itself and the fact of the signal is the intersection point of the two MA.

Filter - a position of the two MA relative to each other. If in the past they crossed, the filter shows the current position of the MA lines.  

 

Technical indicator Moving Average (Moving Average, MA) shows the average price tool for some period of time. When calculating the Moving Average, one averages out the instrument price for the period. As the price changes, its moving average either increases or decreases.

Signal is calculated by the relative position of two moving averages, one of which must have a smaller period (rapid MA) and the other, respectively, a larger (slow MA). Their parameters can be specified in the variables. 

BUY signal is output when the fast MA is located above the slow and SELL signal when the above rapid slow. State "no signal" is not used.

Technical Indicator convergence / divergence moving averages (Moving Average Convergence / Divergence, MACD ) - is a trend following momentum indicator. It shows the relationship between two  moving averages of  prices.

Technical MACD Indicator is the difference between two  exponential moving averages (EMA)

MACD is most effective in an environment where the market swings with high amplitude in a trading range. intersection, overbought / pereprodannosti and divergence - often used MACD signals.

It operates four variables. Signals are also simple: BUY - the main line above the signal, SELL - the main line below the signal. "No Signal" is not used.

Technical indicator Stochastic Oscillator (Stochastic Oscillator) compares the current closing price to its price range over a given time period. Indicator is represented by two lines. The main line called% K. The second line% D - is  moving average  of% K. Usually% K is represented by the solid line and the% D - dashed.

The oscillator consists of two lines - the main and the signal that allows you to trade the signals of the intersection of these lines. BUY signal - higher than the main line, SELL signal - the main line below.

Technical Indicator Relative Strength Index (Relative Strength Index, RSI) is a price-following oscillator that oscillates in the range from 0 to 100. By introducing Relative Strength Index, Y., Wilder recommended using a 14-period embodiment. Later widely as 9 and 25-indicators. One of the common methods of analysis Relative Strength Index indicator is to look for divergences in which the security is making a new high, but the RSI is failing to surpass its previous high. This divergence suggests an impending reversal. If the Index then turns down and falls below its most recent trough, it will have completed a "failure swing" (failure swing). The failure swing is considered a confirmation of the impending reversal.

Similar to the CCI and DeMarker'u. Signals are output from zones perekuplennosti (RSIHighLevel) and pereprodannosti (RSILowLevel). Therefore, rare BUY signals correspond to the intersection of the upper level downwards, and signals SELL - the intersection of the lower layer from the bottom up. The main condition - "no signal". display period can be set in RSIPeriod parameter and calculating the price - in RSIPrice parameter.

Technical Indicator Commodity Channel Index (Commodity Channel Index, CCI) measures the deviation of the commodity price from its average statistical price. High values ​​of the index indicate that the price is unusually high compared to average and low - that is too low. Despite the name, Commodity Channel Index is applicable to any financial instrument not only to goods.

all three signals are also used, but the main condition is still "no signal". Rare occurrence trade signals corresponds to the intersection of the upper level downwards (BUY) and the intersection of the lower layer from the bottom up (SELL). The upper and lower layers are defined by the value of the external parameters and CCIHighLevel CCILowLevel. Period and price calculation of the indicator values ​​are determined and CCIPeriod CCIPrice.

Technical Indicator Percentage Range of Williams (Williams' Percent Range,% R ) - a dynamic indicator, which determines whether the perekuplennosti / resale. Williams' Percent Range is very similar to a technical indicator  Stochastic has Oscillator . The difference between them consists only in that the former has an upside-down and the internal smoothing.

It is in line with the RSI, CCI and DeMarker. BUY Signal - perekuplennosti level crossing (WPRHighLevel) downwards, SELL signal - pereprodannosti intersection (WPRLowLevel) level upwards. Everything else - the "no signal". Changing the outside can only parameter indicator period - WPRPeriod.

Bollinger (Bollinger Bands, BB) are similar to  Envelopes . The difference between them lies in the fact that the bands (Envelopes) arranged above and below the curve  moving average  at a fixed, expressed as a percentage of the distance, whereas the borders are constructed Bollinger Bands at distances equal to a certain number of standard deviations. Since the standard deviation depends on the volatility, strips themselves adjust their width: it increases when the market is unstable, and decreases in more stable periods.

There are three types of signals: BUY - the closing price of the previous candle below the bottom line, the SELL - the closing price of the previous candle above the top line, "no signal" - the closing price of the candle between the lines.

Technical Indicator envelopes lines (envelopes, Envelopes) is formed by two  moving averages , one of which is shifted upwards, and the other - downwards. Selection of optimum relative number of band margins shifting is determined with the market volatility: the higher it is - the greater the displacement.

Since the appearance and nature of the indicator - the channel signals are similar to the signals in the channel during operation. BUY - the closing price of the candle is below the lower line, SELL - the closing price of the candle above the top line and "no signal" - the closing price between the lines.

Most of the time the market remains stationary. Only 15-30% of the time the market generates some trends and traders who are not located in the exchange, almost all of their income is taken from the trends. My grandfather used to say: "Even a blind chicken will find its corns, if it is fed at the same time." We refer to trade with the trend "a blind chicken market". It took us years, we have produced an indicator, that lets us always "keep their powder dry" until then, until we find ourselves in a "blind chicken market".

Technical Indicator Alligator - a combination of Balance Lines ( Moving averages, the Moving Averages ), use fractal geometry and nonlinear dynamics.

Also, for all lines use the same method of averaging (AlligatorMethod) and the calculation of the price (AlligatorPrice). A feature of the indicator is that all lines have a positive shift to the right. This allows you to safely read the value of the indicator on the current bar as they are already precisely formed and may not be changed.

BUY Signal - Lip line above the line of teeth, and tooth line above the jaw line, SELL signal - line lip below the line of teeth, and tooth line below the jaws. In all other cases there is no signal.

Technical Indicator Moving Average Oscillator (Moving Average of Oscillator, OsMA) - is the difference between the oscillator and the oscillator smoothing. In this case, the oscillator uses the basic MACD line, and as anti-aliasing - signal.

The signals are considered little different:

1. BUY - the value of the histogram is above zero,
2. SELL - the value of the histogram is below zero. State "no signal" will be only in those rare cases, when OsMA value will be zero.

Technical Indicator wonderful Oscillator Bill Williams (Awesome Oscillator, AO) - a 34-period simple moving average, plotted through the middle points of the bars (H + L) / 2, is subtracted from the 5-period simple moving average, built on the central points of the bars ( H + L) / 2. He tells us exactly what is going on at the current time with the driving force of the market.

It does not have the options available to the user. One of the principles of the indicator is to look for "saucers". "Saucer" Bill Williams calls the two increases the value of the bars in the positive area, between which there is a bar with a lower value. Accordingly, the "inverted saucer" - it reduces the value of two bars in the negative area, between which there is a bar with a large value. Thus, to identify the "saucers" need three candles formed the last (in the code - four). BUY signal - "saucer", the SELL signal - "inverted saucer", "no signal" - all the other cases.

Technical Indicator Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo) is designed to determine the market trend, support and resistance levels and to generate buy and sell signals. This indicator works best at weekly and daily charts.

the principle of work on the intersection of lines and TENKANSEN KIJUNSEN,  

if TENKANSEN more than KIJUNSEN - signal to BUY 

If TENKANSEN less than KIJUNSEN - signal to SELL

The technical indicator Acceleration / Deceleration (Acceleration / Deceleration, Accelerator / Decelerator Oscillator, AC) measures acceleration and deceleration of the current driving force. This indicator will change direction before the driving force, and she, in turn, will change its direction before the price. Understanding that AU is earlier warning signal provides obvious advantages.

The same signals as in AO

Work in the direction of the bar 

If Close is higher than candles candles Open (Bull bar) - BUY signal 

If Close is lower than Open candles candles (Bear Bar) - signal SELL

Technical Indicator Index Middle Directional Movement (Average Directional Movement Index, ADX) helps to determine the existence of a price trend. It is built on the approaches described in the book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" Welles Wilder.

signals from a strategy guide: https://www.metatrader5.com/ru/terminal/help/indicators/trend_indicators/admi  

this signal can take two types of signals for opening  

if ADXLevel = 0, then used the strategy:  

Wilder recommends buying when + DI crosses above the -DI, and selling when + DI crosses below -DI. 

! if ADXLevel = 0, then used the strategy:  

Wilder recommends buying when + DI crosses above the -DI while ADX above ADXLevel, and selling when + DI crosses below -DI while ADX above ADXLevel. 

When the ADX is used as a filter, using the position of the lines + DI> -DI = only BUY, + DI <-DI = only SELL, 

1. if ADXLevel is 0, then the permission to open a SELL DI-> DI +
2. If ADXLevel is 0, then the permission to open BUY a DI +> DI- 
3. If ADXLevel equal to 0, then the permission to open SELL a DI-> DI + and ADX> ADXLevel 
4. If ADXLevel equal to 0, then the permission to open BUY a DI +> DI- and ADX> ADXLevel

 

ZIGZAG (signal 17)

A signal to open a position on the indicator ZIGZAG ZIGZAG is the intersection of Extrema. 

When using the signals it is important to adjust the parameter shift. 

A value of 0 - position is opened at once in the direction of the intersection of the current Bid price of the last extremum ZIGZAG. 

When set to 1 - the position is opened when the intersection is fixed at 1 bar closed. 

Last extremum extremum 1 is considered fixed when the extremum of this already delayed new segment ZIGZAG. The intersection of the maximum and minimum points and is a signal to open position. 

ZIGZAG filter is considered to be the direction of the last segment ZIGZAG 0.

Technical indicator Average True Range (Average True Range, ATR) - a measure of market volatility. It was introduced by Welles Wilder in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" and since the indicator is used as a component of numerous other indicators and trading systems.

Average True Range can often reach a high value at the bottom of the market after a sheer fall in prices occasioned by panic selling. Low values ​​of the indicator often correspond with long periods of sideways movement, that are observed in the market summits and during the consolidation. It can be interpreted by the same rules as other volatility indicators. The principle of forecasting using Average True Range is formulated as follows: the higher the value of the indicator, the higher the probability of a trend change; The lower the value, the weaker the trend.

ATR shows volatility of the market. 

Trading Strategies for ATR as a filter is to confirm the current trend. 

When the ATR increases it means higher voltailnost market. 

Low rates mean ATR Nizkuya market volatility. 

External settings: 

ATR_period = 14; - calculating the period indicator ATR 

ATRprice = PRICE_CLOSE; - Price type for which will filter calculation (the Close, the Open, High, the Low ...) 

ATR_MA_period = 1; - The number of candles for calculating the average line (MA), 1 - means that calculates the direction indicator signal from the current and 

previous bar (depending on the shift parameters)

ATR_MULTIPLIER = 1; - ATR coefficient index, e.g. EURUSD ATR = 0.0020, using ATR_MULTIPLIER coefficient = 2, the calculation is included 

ATR = 0.0040. 

Filter logic of ATR: 

PRICE (ATRprice) of the current bar is higher than PRICES (ATRprice) previous bar + (ATR * ATR_MULTIPLIER) = high volatility BUY filter 

Price (ATRprice) of the current bar less than the price (ATRprice) previous bar - (ATR * ATR_MULTIPLIER) = high volatility filter SELL

Technical Indicator Average Directional Movement Index Wilder (Average Directional Movement Index Wilder, ADX Wilder) helps to determine if the price trend. This indicator is built in strict accordance with the algorithm described by Welles Wilder in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems".

This signal can take two types of signals for opening  

if ADXLevel = 0, then used the strategy:  

• Wilder recommends buying when + DI crosses above the -DI, and selling when + DI crosses below -DI. 

! if ADXLevel = 0, then used the strategy:  

• Wilder recommends buying when + DI crosses above the -DI while ADX above ADXLevel, and selling when + DI crosses below -DI while ADX above ADXLevel. 
• When the ADX is used as a filter, using the position of the lines + DI> -DI = only BUY, + DI <-DI = only SELL, 

1. if ADXLevel is 0, then the permission to open a SELL DI-> DI + 
2. If ADXLevel is 0, then the resolution It is to open a BUY DI +> DI-
3. If ADXLevel equal to 0, then the permission to open a SELL DI-> DI + and ADX> ADXLevel 
4. If ADXLevel equal to 0, then the permission to open a BUY DI +> DI- and ADX> ADXLevel

 

Technical Indicator Index Cash Flow (Money Flow Index, MFI) indicates the rate at which money is invested into a security and then withdrawn from it. Construction and interpretation of the indicator is similar  to Relative the Strength the Index , with the only difference that volume is important to MFI.

Trading Indicator Money Flow Index 

Index Cash Flow (Money Flow Index, MFI) indicates the rate at which money is invested into a 

security and then withdrawn from it. Construction and interpretation of the Strength indicator is similar to Relative 

the Index, with the only difference that volume is important to MFI. 

Indicator signals analogous to signals from RSI indicator;

Fractals (Fractals) - is one of five indicators of Bill Williams' trading system, allows to detect the bottom or the top. The technical definition of a fractal-up - is a series of at least five consecutive bars where the highest high before and behind him are two bars with lower highs. The opposite configuration (series of five bars, in which the lowest minimum before and behind are two bars with higher lows) corresponds fractal. The fractals are High and Low values ​​and are indicated by arrows up or down.

Trading Indicator Fractals 

signal for opening positions is the intersection of the last fractal level: 

When crossing up the price of the last top-fractal - open BUY position; 

At the intersection of the lower down the price of the last fractal - open SELL position; 

Filter: Similarly, the main signal: 

If the price is above the last upper fractal - only BUY position; 

If the price is below the last lower fractal - only SELL position; 

Attention! Fractal can be drawn at least 2 bar is closed and can be drawn into the past for 

an unlimited number of bars ago. Keep this in mind when analyzing the signal!

In points! The item is taken from the value of the Point () variable 

• If you have a 5 \ 3 digit broker, then 1 point = 0.00001 \ 0.001 
• If you have a 4 \ 2 digit broker, then 1 point = 0.0001 \ 0.01 

No, I created the Expert Advisor as a designer.  This EA requires your optimization. According to your strategy, and according to your capabilities, but using our functions. 

Because they are different terminals, with different history of quotations, with different principles of the strategy tester.  

Default settings. I only test the correctness of the functions, and not the profitability of this advisor.  

Because this advisor was created as a designer. Each user must find their own strategy.

I take new functions very carefully only when these functions are useful to most users of the system.  Unfortunately, I can not program each function separately for each user. Y
I can add a couple of functions only when I see a sense in these functions.  Excuse me. 

No, this advisor was created only for standard indicators.  I can not add all the Internet indicators to this Expert Advisor. 

I add only those indicators I think are necessary. Unfortunately, I can not add all the indicators to the Expert Advisor.  The Expert Advisor is so full of external parameters 

Parameter	Description
OWN Signal options Block of signals and filters
IndSigToTrade	Select an indicator and a signal to open the first and main position. More than 20 indicators and signals are available No Signal: When chosen, the advisor ignores the main signal and trades on filters. When using the main indicator, the signal is generated as is! On the current bar! This means that the signal for opening appears as a fact of committing a signal. If there is a signal and the filter does not allow opening the position, then the signal is ignored. When using NoSignal, you can ignore the fact of committing the main signal and work on filters. When using filters, the signal is the current position indicator.
TF_IndSigToTrade1	The timeframe for 1 main indicator. You can select the Time Frame by which the indicator will receive signals. Period_Current - the current Timeframe
Signal_Reverse	Flip the signals of this indicator. This option reverses the signals of the main indicator only.
ClosePositionifChangeOWNSignal	Enable \ Disable closing of positions on the opposite signal of the main indicator, without the participation of other filters and other parameters The ClosePositionifChangeOWNSignal parameter is divided into 3 values: False (off) True (included), OnlyifProfit (Only if positions are in profit);
OWNSIGNAL_shift	The bar number for the signal that the indicator will generate, 1 = last closed bar, signals on such bar are considered closed. 0 = Current open bar, signals on this bar are considered drawing. More about this parameter: Detailed article on signal bars
FILTER_IndSigToTrade	Selecting an indicator and signal for filtering signals from the main indicator Warning: Some indicators and filters are not compatible with each other. Therefore, by including a filter, you can wait a long time to open positions! Be attentive and check your settings on the strategy tester
FILTER_TF_IndSigToTrade	Timeframe for the filter. You can select the Time Frame by which the indicator will receive the filter signals. Period_Current - the current timeframe. For example: When using MA as the main signal with TF = M30, you can enable filtering on the older MA with TF = H4
Filter_Reverse	Flip the signals of this filter. This option reverses the signals of only this filter. For example, The MA main indicator shows BUY, but the older MA indicator shows SELL when using this function we turn over the signals of the older MA and get the aggregate signal BUY
FILTERSIGNAL_shift	The bar number for the signal that the indicator will generate, 1 = last closed bar, signals on such bar are considered complete. 0 = Current open bar, signals on this bar are considered drawing. More about this parameter: Detailed article on signal bars
