ASCTrend MT4 Expert

New comment
 
ok, I'm new to writing experts that trade in MT4, but I've written
indicators and things before. I just can't ever get my experts to
trade. Here's the code, have a good laugh, and then help me out. I'm
just looking to really get an expert that trades based solely upon
the ASCTrend movements. I'm interested in how it will trade in MT4
with the new modeling, and options, etc. So if you've already done
this, you wouldn't even need to mess with my code, and could provide
me with the MQ4 file. Anyway, here's what I have. I've converted from
the MT3 expert by Nick Biak. Thanks guys!

but you know, if you will check the trades, many of them will be losing,
what is your stop, or trailing stop, what is the profit you will enter?
 
Guitara,

please visit www.strategybuilderfx.com and check the MT4 section for the thread on the FxOverEasy system. This one is using the AscTrend indicator. You can also go to the file area there, check the XFE package for FxOverEasy, it has an AscTrend in it and also an Expert which trades and uses AscTrend.

Hope this helps.

Btw, as haim pointed out correctly: AscTrend is quite useless in it self.

hi i didnt find it in the strategybuilderfx site.

thanks

Please go to this thread:

Around page 60-70 you will find two file packages for the FxOverEasy method there, one named XFE package, one FXOE package. Both include an AscTrend version, the one in XFE is a direct translation of the one you quoted above, the other uses a better implementation (not using tables). The XFE package also includes an Expert (iFxOverEasy12) which loads AscTrend via iCustom call.
