Hi Babar, I think the auto-script already there, it's EA sample on every MetaTrader 4 installation. Try to find "MACD Sample" on your experts advisor list. Hope this help

Thanks David,

Yes there is MACD sample in my EA but I want to make an EA based on histogram..that BUY when the first histogram bar closes above "0" and sell when the first histogram bar closes below zero ....and at the same time it has to close the long position......I wonder if someone can make EA for this...

Thanks

Babar

Babar,

Please check out the standard MACD EA that's included with your MT4 installation. It functions much the same way you describe your "perfect" MACD EA.

Your idea is lot easier that the sample MACD, doesn't need to deal with the signal line at least.

If you open the MACD indicator, not the EA, with MataEditor, you can see it is actually use a iMA() function to sign values in to the ind_buffer1[] array. This how the indicator produced histogram.

When the histogram value is positive the iMA() value is also positive. Hope you understand the mechanism.

Similarly, the indicator use this line to produce the red signal line.

ind_buffer2=iMAOnArray(ind_buffer1,Bars,SignalSMA,0,MODE_SMA,i);

Have you programmed with some PC languages, like C or JAVA? If the answer is negative, MQL4 is too difficult for you.

The way for a programmer to learn a new language is to read the source codes. For those who know nothing about programming, I suggest them the most clever and efficient way--go to take a class.

To be a indicator designer, there are just too much things to learn and read. I have to understand the statistics as well as sources codes behind every indicator. So I choose to work on existing methods from other people, and try out different combinations.

I don't understand MQ4 Earn a living From theory to practice
