Cci_ea
Hello,
After lengthily look athaving looked at and studyhaving studied some of the tools or somme strategies of this (marvellous) forum, it appeared to to me that indicator CCI is often used like a reliable filter.
Reference marks: +100/-100 and 0 are significant. But before going too much far let us start with reference mark 0.
As soon as this reference mark 0 is broken, the price goes obligatorily in the same direction.
Then would it be possible to make a EA (for mt3 or mt4)avec of the simple values?
Indicator:
CCI (10 or 14 ) (posibility to change period)
FT: M30 or H1
SL: 20 (extern)
TP: 200 (extern)
TP: 6 (extern)
Rules : Open : crossing carried out of reference mark 0
Close : with SL, or TP, or TS or new crossing carried out of reference mark 0.
Let us start simply and according to the first results, we will put filters.
This method does not want to take the maximum of pips with risk but to ensure itself of small trades reliable and advantageous each time.
Thank you with all for your interest for this request
Bruno,
You mean that if CCI is going up crossing the 0 so it is signal to buy. Right?
If CCI is going downtrend and crossing zero it is sell.
That's right?
If yes so seems I am able to do it.
Hello Newdigital,
You mean that if CCI is going up crossing the 0 so it is signal to buy. Right?
If CCI is going downtrend and crossing zero it is sell.
That's right?
If yes so seems I am able to do it.yes it is well that, do you want an image of confirmation?
I thank you for your work and your interest. What do you think of this strategy?
We can also plot MA (25) on CCI (14) chart, and take the same signal but earlier, or just wait till CCI will cross 0 level and confirms direction.
IMHO it's better to use daily chart, it is not so noisy as 1H.
I created this EA.
I trying to attach it to the post.
But I think it should be some filter or some other indicator(s).
And t/s = 6 is not good idea i think.
Anyway I did it.
It should be exact according to your rules.
And we may add any other indicator if we want.

Hello Krall,
Thank you for your interest and your idea.
I had thought has this possibility but as I have write it higher, start with a simple ea, without filter in order to validate the first results.
BrunoFX,
I can not attach it now so I am posting the code.
I hope that there are no any bugs.

Cheer. Which effectiveness and which speed.
I see in script that you put alarms and a filter time serveur.
In fact all that it is necessary.
I will test it as of tomorrow morning.
You are the best 
I can't attach image, but EA seems to not working properly, opens orders on almost every candle...
I though that trade will be open only once, when CCI cross 0 level. Have a look at the chart. Why we have so many trades?
