Help turning Indicator into EA

New comment
 

Hi everyone,

I am trading using the attached indicator, when a sell signal is triggered I buy, and vice versa. It works strangely enough. I would like to surn this indicator into an EA, would someone be able to help me adjust the code, instead of printing the signal and setting of an alarm I would like it to open an order on the open of the next bar. For example:


Sell signal triggered: OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, lots * 2, Bid, 3, // at the open of the next bar


Buy signal triggered: OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, lots * 2, Bid, 3, // at the open of the next bar


if there is a position open it is reversed when the opposing signal is triggered. if no position trade as above. If a position is open and another signal is triggered in the same direction, ignore.


To someone who knows what they are doing I guess it would take then a few min to adjust the code, I have been trying now for days and its driving me crazy. Please can someone help me out. It would be greatly appreciated.

The code isn't the same. mql4 and mql5 have some common parts but are not fully compatible, mainly on trading functions.
 
ah I see, thank you.
