Abubakar Saidu: please help me …
  1. Help you with what? You haven't stated a problem, you stated a want. You have only four choices:
    1. Search for it.
    2. Beg at
    3. MT4: Learn to code it.
      MT5: Learn to code. If you don't learn MQL4/5, there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into yours.
    4. or pay (Freelance) someone to code it.
    We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.

  2. Etasoft forex generator, EA builder, EATree, Forex Strategy Builder, FOREXEADVISOR STRATEGY BUILDER, FX EA Builder, fxDreema, FxPro, Molanis, Online Forex Expert Advisor Generator, Quant, Strategy Builder FX, Visual Trader Studio, MQL5 Wizard, etc., are all the same. You will get something quick, but then you will spend a much longer time trying to get it right, than if you learned the language up front, and then just wrote it.
    • Since you haven't learned MQL4/5, therefor there is no common language for us to communicate.
      If we tell you what you need, you can't code it.
      If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into yours.
      We are willing to HELP you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem, but we are not going to debug your hundreds of lines of code. You are essentially going to be on your own.

Yes thanks a lot.. i used the above you gave me -3.  MT4: Learn to code it.

it helped me a lot..

Thanks again for your help.

 

Hello guys, I have a similar problem, I have created an EA that execute trades based on the appearing of BUY and SELL arrows. However the EA ignores some arrows, I don't know why? Any help? Also How do I close the trade when an opposte arrow appears? Thank you.


void OnTick()

{

   //indicator reading

   

   int total_orders = OrdersTotal();

   double FixedLot = AccountBalance() * 0.0001;

   FixedLot = NormalizeDouble(FixedLot, 2); // rounding lotsize to 2 decimal places

   int buy_ticket = 0;

   int sell_ticket = 0;

   

   double super_buy_arrow  = iCustom(NULL,0,"super-arrow-indicator",0,0);

   double super_sell_arrow = iCustom(NULL,0,"super-arrow-indicator",1,0);

  

   

   // Buy or Sell if Arrow appears

   if(total_orders == 0)

   {

      if(  super_buy_arrow != EMPTY_VALUE )

      {

           buy_ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, FixedLot, Ask, Slippage, Ask-StopLoss*_Point, Ask+TakeProfit*_Point,NULL, Magic, 0, Green); 

      }


      if(  super_sell_arrow != EMPTY_VALUE )

      {

           sell_ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, FixedLot, Bid, Slippage, Bid+StopLoss*_Point, Bid-TakeProfit*_Point,NULL, Magic, 0, Red);

      }

   }
