Unfortunately, I cannot help you - I do not have access to the futures market.

Hi Mr. Vladimir.

The idea is the next:

With the Derivative indicator (code provided), An EA should be the next:

-  ATR must be higher than n x (bid-ask). Suggest n = 3.

- If Derivative changes its mark from - to +, then buy.

- If Derivative changes its mark from + to -, then sell.

- Close with opposite signal.

- Money with fixed risk.

this conditions can be applied with any time.


I wish you can read this and I'm sure you'll make a great job, as you've shown to everyone.


Best regards.

It's an own indicator, but I couldn't charge it in an post. I'm new in this platform.

Is based on this one, but it has some changes:  https://www.mql5.com/en/code/13902

Derivative
Derivative
  • www.mql5.com
The indicator performs the calculation of the derivative of the price.

What does it mean? Who is 'n x'?

Vladimir Karputov:

'x' means times, and n is a double type factor (just a number)

Sorry, I do not understand you. Let's do this: you have one more attempt to clearly and intelligibly explain your idea.

Ok, let's do it again


EA has 2 indicator: ATR and Derivative.

On the one hand, Derivative provides buy and sell trading signals. On the other hand, ATR works as a filter avoiding transactions when market has no trends.

There will be a Threshold defined as: Factor * (Bid - Ask). This Threshold will determinate if market has tendency or not.

I will use the subindex t to define actual bar.

Conditions for opening trades:

~ For BUY: derivative change mark from - to +.

~ For SELL: derivative change mark from + to -.

Conditions for closing trades:

- If ATR_t <= Threshold --> Do NOT close trades.

- If ATR_t > Threshold --> Can close trades as follow:

~ For BUY: derivative change mark from + to -.

~ For SELL: derivative change mark from - to +.

Other conditions

- Trading with fixed risk.

- Only 1 trade at a time.

In other words, do you want to check the spread value for the current symbol?

Yes, but I want to amplify it, because some analisys that I've done.
