How can I convert signals received from a pattern scanner to auto trade. (MT5)

New comment
 
Hi all, purchased a pattern scanner and market structure breakout scanner on mql5. I've been using it for sometime now however, majority of the very good signals the scanners give have been missed. The scanner are mt5 based and they send me signals via mt5 terminal. Is there anyway to automate the signals received from the scanner? (Spoke to the developer, i was willing to convert the scanners into an ea but the developer is unwilling to provide the source code which is expected).

Hi , it depends on how the indicator is coded . 

If fellow dev has provided buffers for "type of pattern" "direction of pattern" "sl" "tp" then its possible to read from an EA and trade them.(assuming there is no repainting or "cleaning up" occuring on the indicator) 

 
salemtrading5 #:  Yes, the signals received from the indicator include SL and TP. TP1, TP2 and TP3. Also it does not repaint. This is one of the scanners ....

Awesome , so if you open the data window and that info is available as you pan the mouse across the chart (for instance , close (or 1 bar after) a pattern) then an EA can read it . 

Unless the dev has deployed a custom bridge for his scanners for that purpose (unlikely)

Sorry I don't think in understand what you said. The scanner has these two settings "How many candles are past patter: 1"   and  "Alert Buffer size: 20". If this is what you mean, please feel free to advise me on a solution and how to obtain it. Thanks

I see the scanners are multipair and multitimeframe , only the dev can deploy an EA for those.
