Need Help coding a EA using RSI

New comment
 

I can use some help coding an EA. I need to code an entry long if there is a new low made in the past (X) bars but the RSI is not making a new low. ie:

low < lowest low (10) and RSI > lowest RSI (10)

I am also looking to use just the opposite for shorting:

high > highest high (10) and RSI < highest RSI (10)

I am looking to add this into my current EA

Thanks

 

it can be done. This is a technical signal that spots a reversion/end of a trend. Although you can you can visualize them at the charts, it is a bit challenging programming their detection. It involves the matching of several distinct price patterns:

- a down trend that is making lower lows (or the reverse)

- a RSI that is not making lower lows (it can be rising or located just above a previous low)

- an implicite divergence between price and RSI.


This is a signal that can complement a trend following strategy. But as we might be opening orders against the trend, we could use buystops/sellstops with entry price being continuously adjusted to the corresponding price action. I think Gorez (see the championship) does this on some of his orders.


As I am interested to test it, I'll try (and I mean try) to develop it. Wait some time, or until other guy gives it to you.


Bye..

 

Thanks, I am developing this strategy on Trade Navigator using 1 and 5 min. I have used the stop in from the previous bars low or high +/- 1 tick. I am not familar with mql4. Having some positive results with strategy. Still need to filter some entry and exits. Thanks for the help

 

I guess that you are getting many false signals. It's a typical issue of more complex patterns detection.

How do I create a stop in entry, instead of a market order?

Here is the EA I am working on using an EA Builder, Also, would like to move stop to Break even after +15 ticks
