I started learning C programming in 2010. From there I picked up many languages.
I have worked with MQL for just a year now. I pick up programming languages very quickly because I'm no stranger to programming.
I'm working on several indicator projects and EA concepts.

How do people think they published a safe and profitable EA when it doesn't use stop losses and allows equity drawdown to to continue over 50%? There isn't always a correction in markets so the money will be lost, and there will be a margin call. Shame on people purchasing pricey EAs from idiots

https://www.mql5.com/en/code/87 this is a clever and elegant indicator which measures volume pressure, it's a unique idea, it compares the live tick volume on each current bar to the average volume of the entire series and compares percentages of volume

I don't need to use AI for coding, but could you argue that if AI isn't helping you, then it is not a fault with AI but rather the fact that your prompt isn't reasonable enough? Maybe I'm way off I don't know

Yes prompt engineering is must to have also it's make errors even today but a programmer can understand and solve quickly but novice can't. So learning programming is also required to use AI in a better way

Thanks, Your code is good too. As a good programmer our goal should be to minimize coding, avoid redeclaring variables unless required and look for optimized way of coding. As a new programmer my first code which i wrote was 3500+ lines, after experience i rewrote that code in just 95 lines.

Download it now and give it a try. Let me know if it is something that works for you. In the upcoming release, there can be an option to load your own moving average, or even another indicator. The beta is about highlighting the zigzag process itself and not the SMA which it takes information from. It should provide increased clarity with market structure compared to a bare moving average plot, as moving averages normally repaint up and down on the current unclosed bar. Using a backstep of 1 is more suitable for entry signals or automation, and using a higher backstep is more suited for wave analysis
MagZag ( Beta) — A Trend- Based Reinvention of the ZigZag MagZag is a complete remodel of the traditional ZigZag indicator, built on trend- based logic instead of reactive price confirmation. Unlike a traditional ZigZag that works off of price action and relies on future bars to confirm a swing, MagZag calculates new legs immediately — with no forward correction , no lag , and no repainting . Once a leg is drawn, it's final. MagZag includes parameters for deviation and backstep, but it

this is now doing an impressive job of providing harmony and clarity in chaotic sideways market zones that make no sense with a moving average

370 lines of code, the code kept changing and evolving...I am finished with it now. - A trend can be confirmed by bars or points
- Unlike a traditional zigzag, the price action does not confirm a trend, so there is no "depth" parameter, and the zigzag does not have to do confirmations - Confirmations are done with the trend in advance to "prepare" the zigzag on every subsequent bar so that the zigzag can start the new leg immediately It's a complete remodel of a zigzag indicator. Downloadable beta for free soon.

I'm building a brand new Zigzag which, once again, has instant trend detection and no delayed legs. No bar confirmations are needed in confirming the swings, and the legs always end at the current live bar.
How it works:
- It is guided by an MA trend, therefore there is no traditional ZigZag operation, as a moving average slope provides instant trend direction.
- The whipsaws and false signals you find in a moving average are completely ignored by two filters:
A traditional point deviation filter (comparing the previous swing to the current swing price).
An MA slope point confirmation filter, to bypass short, inconsequential moving average trends.
- A backstep is used so that the leg is constantly seeking the highest price (on a peak swing search) or lowest price (on a bottom swing search).
- If the moving average trend changes to mark a shift in the market, the leg does not need to alter the swing location at the point of the trend change if it already found a higher or lower price a few bars before.
- Keeping the backstep small keeps the swings in tune with the trend while never veering too far from the live moving average trend.
- A forward step is also implemented, but it's actually unnecessary as it would correct the Zigzag forward - and then it would be after the fact.
The zigzag I constructed here is very similar to the one I made for the Parabolic SAR indicator, but this one is more sophisticated, with both deviation and backstep logic.
It's definitely one of my more advanced codes. While it may not always capture the truest peaks and bottoms down to the end of candle wicks, it provides high-quality turning points, as can be seen in the screenshot.

last night I wanted to test mean reversion on the new VWAP indicator I published in the codebase. After noticing a support, I expected the market to move up and retreat to VWAP, so I set the TP to the VWAP price at that time. Both trades hit the TP at 4am GMT+3

In this new indicator I built, I combined 3 worlds. I combine trend, volume, and tick trend into one indicator. The moving average is based on volume, the volume bars are colored by the heiken ashi trend, and the color of histogram bars are replaced by the tick trend during high volume events - to capture the trend of high bearish volume, and high bullish volume during the time that normal trend indicators would be lagging.

I automated my static zigzag based on macross. I did put this indicator on the codebase as well

The dilemma with EA ideas sometimes is that after you build the new idea, it could be no good. Experimental strategies sometimes end up as failures

All the work counts for something. You learn what works and what doesn't, and you get a deeper understanding of the dangers in the market and why some things aren't safe enough

PSAR strategy:
Signal trade entry at the psar trend change
Confirm entry with MA slope trend
Trail stop loss with psar acceleration and a small offset
Filter signals with ranging market detection

There are still caveats with this strategy. Psar will fail in thin markets. Will try a time filter and remove summer months.

It looks like there's a strong support at 3017 on Gold now, but it's hard to know if it will hold
