Joscelino Celso de Oliveira:

Flavio,

Your strategy is relatively simple to code. Do you already programme in the MQL5 language?

If not, and you want to implement it quickly, I suggest looking in the freelance area: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/260957.

If you're not in a hurry, you can study the language and develop. I suggest starting with the following articles and documents:

Hi Joscelino!

Unfortunately, I don't programme in MQL5.

It would be simple, yes. Just a buy start, according to some entry parameters, without using indicators.

I'll have a look at those articles and forums you mentioned.

Thanks for your help!

Sds,

Flávio

Hello Flavio,

Even if you don't know how to program, it's possible to develop an EA in Metatrader, if your strategy includes standardised indicators. In any case, you'll have to read the documentation.

If you want to hire a developer, I also suggest the article below.

Success!

Interesting product and you can see that a lot of time and effort has been spent.

In my opinion, the idea is very good, you can sketch a scheme and get the code of the Expert Advisor, then finalise it by hand.

Please tell me how to work with custom indicators (hereinafter referred to as UI),

Is it correct to have several icons for one UI if it has several buffers?

How to link input parameters with PI parameters (only decimal parameters are added to the PI icon).

Do I need to specify all parameters (in what order) of the PI or only those that need to be changed?

I tried several PIs on the demo, for some reason one indicator window is added for each tick/bar.

This happens if you pass an incorrect number of input parameters to the indicator.

Afternoon.

There is an example of a circuit using ZigZag in the constructor.

Yes, there is a different element for each buffer.

It is necessary to specify either ALL parameters or NONE of them (then the default parameters of the indicator will be used). Parameters are specified in the same order as in the indicator itself.

As answered above, if you do not specify all parameters of the indicator, it will be as you have on the picture.

Try first without parameters (default).

I wonder if it could be ever possible to 'import' an existing EA and then use your visual interface to build on top of it. 

I would think it's not feasible as so many possible ways to code an EA and parsing it would be a beast.

I worked on a product which offered a similar interface but based on BPEL specification. Basically, a controlled state machine which would execute the underlying code.

You GUI does look like a great project to build upon!! Congrats.

Hi,

thanks for your kind words.

No, I do not think that it will be ever possible to import any manually coded EA and then modify it via visual interface.

This is an amazing project! Keep up the good work, Andrey!

Good afternoon, can I use your programme to create an Expert Advisor based on Fibonacci lines? That is
1. it should automatically stretch under certain conditions to buy or sell, place orders, SL, TP and trawl TS?
2. Also in manual mode, for example, I stretched the grid, saw the entry point, clicked on the start button in the desired place, immediately set orders from 1 to 11 at the current price and automatically set SL, TP at the specified level and trawl. The second button to close all orders?

Good day.

In the current version, working with graphical objects is not supported.
