Need MA cross assistance for my EA

[addown]

Hello,

Can someone help me with my EA that I am building?  There is one piece that I am unable to understand.  Currently my EA opens the trade as soon as my EMAs cross.  But I only want the trade to open if the EMAs are confirmed at the candle close, along with my other criteria.  I've seen others use arrays, but I am having trouble incorporating the logic into my EA code.

Here are my Criteria:

BUY:

10EMA crossed over the 3EMA; MFI >= 50; RSI >= 50; Momentum >= 50; MACD (5, 10, 1) Signal line is >= 0; Stoch (10, 50, 3) Signal >= Baseline; Open on next bar

Close Buy when MFI or RSI cross below the 50

SELL:

10EMA crossed below the 3EMA; MFI <= 50; RSI <= 50; Momentum <= 50; MACD (5, 10, 1) Signal line is <= 0; Stoch (10, 50, 3) Signal <= Baseline; Open on next bar

Close Sell when MFI or RSI cross above the 50

I have attached my mq4 file

Thanks!

   && iRSI(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, RSI, PRICE_CLOSE, 1) >= 50 //Relative Strength Index >= fixed value

   && iRSI(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, RSI, PRICE_CLOSE, 1) <= 50 //Relative Strength Index <= fixed value

That might work... but your code seems unnecessarily overcomplicated. Try this Cross function

int Cross(){
   10EMA_2=iMA(Symbol(),0,10,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,2);
   10EMA_1=iMA(Symbol(),0,10,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);
   3EMA_2=iMA(Symbol(),0,3,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,2);
   3EMA_1=iMA(Symbol(),0,3,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);

   if(3EMA_2<=10EMA_2 && 3EMA_1>10EMA_1){return(1);}
   if(3EMA_2>=10EMA_2 && 3EMA_1<10EMA_1){return(-1);}
   return(0);
}

if(Cross()>0 && RSI && Momentum && MACD && ...){OpenBuyOrder...}
if(Cross()<0 && RSI && Momentum && MACD && ...){OpenSellOrder...}

And the NewBar function is weird..

bool NewBar()
  {
   static datetime LastTime = 0;
   bool ret = Time[0] > LastTime && LastTime > 0;
   LastTime = Time[0];
   return(ret);
  }

Huh?

bool NewBar(){
   if(bars!=Bars){//new bar
      bars=Bars;//reset bars to current bar value
      return(true);
   }
   else return(false);
}

Thanks @Chad Magruder I will give this a try tonite!

The compiler is complaining about the operator missing from 10EMA_1; 10EMA_2; 3EMA_1; and 3EMA_2 in the two IF statements with the returns.  I'm not really what the operator should be for these.

Hello Addown...

I'am looking for a code wich does exactly what you dont want your EA to do. I need mine to open a position as soon as the MAs crosses eachother...
could you share this specific code, please?

I would really, really appreciate that cuz i've been looking for something like that for a while.

Thanks in advance
