The goal is to move away from the price value itself in the EA, replacing it with an iMA
Artyom Trishkin:
To get Moving Average data with deviation, you need to add / subtract the required deviation in pips*Point() to the returned value
Thanks to
Expert Advisor generated by MQL5 Wizard based on TWO signal modules "SignalMAAboveBelow.mqh" - one signal with an averaging period of 100 and the other with an averaging period of 200.
Made some small changes in OnInit():
//| Initialization function of the expert |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
{
if((Signal_0_MA_Weight+Signal_1_MA_Weight)*100/2<Signal_ThresholdOpen ||
(Signal_0_MA_Weight+Signal_1_MA_Weight)*100/2<Signal_ThresholdClose)
return(INIT_PARAMETERS_INCORRECT);
//--- Initializing expert
if(!ExtExpert.Init(Symbol(),Period(),Expert_EveryTick,Expert_MagicNumber))
{
...
ExtExpert.Deinit();
return(INIT_FAILED);
}
//---
string text="MA ("+Signal_0_MA_PeriodMA+"), Reverse ("+Signal_0_MA_Reverse+")"+"\n"+
"MA ("+Signal_1_MA_PeriodMA+"), Reverse ("+Signal_1_MA_Reverse+")";
Comment(text);
//--- ok
return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}
First, we check the condition that the sum of weights of signals divided in two must not be less than the threshold value of opening or closing a position. This edit allows you to discard passes during optimization where there is not a single trade.
Second edit: displays on the chart visual information about averaging periods and "Reverse" parameter.
Modernized trailing (based on standard \MQL5\Include\Expert\Trailing\TrailingParabolicSAR.mqh)) - standard trailing module used to move StopLoss by the iSAR value on the bar with index "1" - but such behavior allowed a strong lag of the price and, as a result, a loss of potential profit.
And since the main Expert Advisor "SignalMAAboveBelow_x2_iSAR_trailing.mq5" works only when a new bar appears, I decided to change the standard trailing module - now StopLoss is set by the iSAR value on the bar with index "0". The upgraded trailing module is saved under the name "SignalMAAboveBelow_x2_iSAR_trailing.mq5" saved in the following folder: C:\Users\barab\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\D0E8209F77C8CF37AD8BF550E51FF075\MQL5\Experts\Researches iMA\SignalMAAboveBelow_x2_iSAR_trailing.mq5.
The main Expert Advisor SignalMAAboveBelow_x2_iSAR_trailing.mq5 has been changed accordingly:
#property version "1.002"
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| 1.002: |
//| trailing -> TrailingParabolicSAR(aggressive).mqh |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Include |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
#include <Expert\Expert.mqh>
//--- available signals
#include <Expert\Signal\SignalMAAboveBelow.mqh>
//--- available trailing
#include <Expert\Trailing\TrailingParabolicSAR(aggressive).mqh>
//--- available money management
#include <Expert\Money\MoneyFixedLot.mqh>
Trailing now works as follows:
Before trailing
Trailing on the iSAR value on the bar "0".
Please attach the file of the upgraded trailing unit and the Expert Advisor file...
Vladimir, when installing in"Data Directory"\MQL5\Include\Expert\Signal\ MetaEditor gives the same errors. Maybe it's just the MT version that has been updated? I have 1545. Are the EAs in this thread rewritten or just modified? What would be the best way to start writing a similar EA and change the order opening conditions?

Which file do you put in the "Data folder"{MQL5\Include\Expert\Signal）?

Vladimir, it's clear as day. But you have to download it in"Data Folder"\MQL5\Include/Expert\Signal/ directory, don't you? How can I compile the file without errors?

You got it wrong.

Vladimir, I figured it out, I have run it. Where can I swap sell orders with buy orders here?
