Newbie need help to code my strategy to autotrade
it's hard/impossible to define the whipsaw for an EA
Hi shwetha
What you are asking for, is kind of difficult. I'm talking about the (2) condition. The first condition is simple but the problem is defining a whipsaw.
How do you set your conditions for the whipsaw? (Open & Close of the bar EMA50? Highest of the last X bars < EMA50+20pips & last Close<EMA50?...) These are simple examples but You have to give precise instructions.
I hope you understand my point. If you have any ideea on how to define the whipsaw please post it here.

I hope you understand my point. If you have any ideea on how to define the whipsaw please post it here.technically a buy or sell signal is generated but it fails to give a pre defined profit target level is known as whipsaw .by putting second condition in my stategy i want take trade after one such whipsaw .in my eg a signal which has not generated 100 pips profit
i hope i clarified u'r doubt
thanks for u'r reply
Hi Shwetha
This is more precise. I will think about it.
(I kow what a whipsaw is, 
the problem was how to put it on code.)
Bye.

ok meanwhile can you code for buy /sell condition one and for to generate alerts .regarding whipsaw i will monitor manually
iam eagerly looking to code my stategy and to trade automatically
thanks in advance

This is your EA...
...but you have to think of some filters. This condition only, has no chances of success.
I have coded only the buy/sell section (condition 1). You can set it on "Ask manual confirmation" so you can decide if the EA should enter the trade.
If you find any bugs in this EA, please let me know.
Bye.
not able to open
hi
i downloaded the file ,but when i tried to open it it says access to the specified path /file or device is denied
what should i do
are u online now
any how thx a lot cucurucu
awiting for u'r reply

1.You have to copy the file to your ProgramFiles\Metatrader\Experts folder.
2. You have to open the file using MetaEditor.
3. Click Compile button in MetaEditor.
4. Run MT4 and attach the EA to a chart.
Please note that the timeframe is set to 0. This means that the EA will use the timeframe of the chart.
I hope this solves your problems.
PS - This EA is working with MT4. I hope you don't use MT3.
hello cucurucu
hi i copied the file to program files\interbankfx\experts
it is copied i can see the code in meta editor ,but i could not see copile icon there but under file verify button is there ,when i clicked it
it verified the code and says 262 errors and 0 warnings
iam using mt 4 only
how to go about further
bye
:) you are not using MQL4
You are not using the right version of MetaEditor. MQL4 doesn't have "verify" button. Verify button is only in MetaEditor 3.x Please go to Help - About and see for yourself.
I doubt you are using MetaTrader4 since the MetaEditor version you're using is 3.x.
Good Luck!
hi
