EA automatically drawing trendlines or channels

[bertkuiper]

Hello,

I need help with the following; I want an EA that can draw a trendline or channel. Is it possible to create a EA with fxdreema that can draw trendlines automatically?
I looked on this forum but I saw a lot of contradictory answers and on de fxdreema builder I see a block called "draw line" and "draw channel" and I tried that but can not get it to work in strategy tester mt5.

If it is not possible to make such an EA, I have downloaded a free 'trendline indicator' but how to get a indicator not listed in the fxdreema builder to work in the mt5 strategy tester? Because I can only select a EA in the tester and not any additional indicators.

A lot of thanks in advance

@bertkuiper Technically, yes, you can do it, but it is not recommended. Drawing trendlines and channels is an indicator's job, not necessarily of an EA's. I recommend you fins a good trend drawer and then importint it into your fxDreema account. You will save A LOT of pain and suffering, seriously.

@l-andorrà said in EA automatically drawing trendlines or channels:

d drawer and then importint

If you have an idea of how you want these trendlines drawn, there are tools out there (similar to FxDreema) that allow you to make custom indicators. I hope FxDreema adds that functionality one day. I don't have experience on this or anything, but I merely wanted you to know it's an option, if you weren't aware and couldn't find an indicator that does exactly what you want, but you feel confident in your ability to make one yourself.

But like L'andorra said, you can find/create an indicator that does the job, store it as a custom indicator in FxDreema, then use its values to power your EA.

Thanks a lot to both of you, I will definitely try that
