How I assemble my advisor by trial and error - page 42

[[Deleted]]

I will add another function to the Expert Advisor

sometimes it is necessary not to immediately trigger the line, but when it has crossed and fixed the bar

kind of cheated -

from the trend line - if it crosses and the bar remains there, the signal will go off

input string   t10="----- Trend Line Name ------";      // Trend Line Name
input string   InpNameAverage          = "AVERAGE 0";   // Trend Line Name Средняя
//---

another indicator has cheated - upper and lower Horizontal line, middle Trend line

demonstration version - how it works in combination with this indicator

If the green line goes together with the blue one, it would be fine.

another version for the test

there are now three trend lines in the indicator and the Expert Advisor opens a position from them

input string   t10="----- Trend Line Name ------";      // Trend Line Name
input string   InpNameAverage          = "AVERAGE 0";   // Trend Line Name
input string   InpNameAverage0         = "TOP 0";       // Trend Line Name
input string   InpNameAverage1         = "LOWER 0";     // Trend Line Name

Here's a version - how I did it - it is fully working from the trend lines which you drew manually

the settings - which it has

//---
input double InpLots          = 0.1;           // Lots
input int    InpTakeProfit    = 50;            // Take Profit (in pips)
input string t0="----- Trend Line Name ------";// Trend Line Name
input string InpNameAverage   = "AVERAGE 0";   // Trend Line Name
input string InpNameAverage0  = "TOP 0";       // Trend Line Name
input string InpNameAverage1  = "LOWER 0";     // Trend Line Name

here's the version - how I did it - it's fully operational from the trend lines you draw manually

the settings that it has.

no way! - to set it up - and no broker will let you sign up
