EA dashboard / screener to monitor break out of previous days high

New comment
 

Hi All

I am looking to build a screener that I can load onto one pair that can monitor 20+ pairs.

A pair should appear on the screener if a level is broken, in this case the high of the previous day, at particular times of day (asia / london / NY).

I have seen a few code examples that are able to monitor indicators eg RSI or MACD for over bought or over sold, but I am not seen any that can:

1. calculate the previous days high of a whole lot of pairs based upon a new daily bar

2. can report on a breakout of that level ie the current tick > variable (previous days high) across various instruments

My long winded question is....can a dashboard screener actually do what I want or am I write an EA and load onto each of those individual pairs?

Thanks for any advice.

 
Of course, it's doable - EA can monitor many pairs from a single chart and generate breakout signals - it's possible to display them as a dashboard. You can find examples in the articles, the market, and the codebase, or ask to develop your custom version in the freelance. Google search can provide more relevant results if you can't find the stuff by the built-in search.

Of course, you can process and display any information on all pairs without running a separate EA on those pairs by loading the necessary data into the buffer and processing it appropriately. You can do this in code by calling different pairs _Symbol replacing with the required pair. In the same way as you can display information on different timeframes using appropriate period instead of the PERIOD_CURRENT. It requires some knowledge and result depends on your skills. If you want some help, you should post your code showing what you want to do.

Thank you all....I now know what I am seeking to do is at least possible.
