MT4 EA Template with all the basic features:

This is a great template to start from if you're looking to build an MT4 EA quick and easily with your own rules/custom indicators. It has all the nice features for managing the account and the trades.

Can i mention in the void Tick() like

canbuy= "Mycondition"

Cansell= "Mycondition"

?

 
You would need to do that inside CheckOrders(), after they are initialized (in the beginning of this method).
 

i dont get it. Where can i put my condition like: 

 double rsi = iRSI(NULL,0,RSIinput,PRICE_CLOSE,3);

iclose() < RSIinput


Can u give us some more examples please

In CheckOrders(), using Direction() aft4er canBuy and canSell have been initialized at the top.


So it should go like 

DashValues[dashKeyForDisplay]=Direction(close>ma, close<ma, canBuy, canSell);

I put ma there because you don't compare the RSI against the price :)


You don't have to use the DashKeys/DashValues dashboard arrays necessarily. The Direction() changes canBuy and canSell flags based on the trading conditions. Those are used later to change the sign for an actual trade.

 

Like this?  Instead of macdfilter?



 int openCloseConditionIdx=4;
   DashKeys[openCloseConditionIdx-1]="Mode";
   DashValues[openCloseConditionIdx-1]="n/a";
 

   int signalConditions=3;
   DashKeys[openCloseConditionIdx+1-1]="Signal";
   DashValues[openCloseConditionIdx+1-1]=TimeToStr(TimeLocal());

   DashKeys[openCloseConditionIdx+2-1]="MyStrategie";
   DashValues[openCloseConditionIdx+2-1]="not used";
   if(UseMyStrategie)
     {
     double rsi = iRSI(NULL,0,RSIinput,PRICE_CLOSE,3);
     
      DashValues[openCloseConditionIdx+2-1]=Direction(rsi > RSIBUY,rsi<RSISELL,canBuy,canSell);
     }
   static bool lastClosedOrderWasLost=false;
   static double nextOrderLots=0;

Exactly so, this should work. You may notice the Direction function also allows some additional text/string optional parameters to set some additional info on the dashboard for debugging/informational purposes.

Do you know why it is not working with Spots and Indizes?

Post your error here so we can see. Is it lot/volume related?

 
Thanks for the code... if I had something like that when I started to understand the MQL4... my life wold had been a lot easier!

That's nice, if I knew any better I would have posted it sooner.
