Open trade based on indicator arrow

[Jwabe]

Hi,

I have an indicator (ex4) only, which I would like to automate by creating an EA that sells when the indicator draws a red down arrow, and buys when it draws a green up arrow.

Can anyone help me in the right direction? Ideally I guess would be to program the indicator into the EA, but I am to dumb for that, so option 2 I guess is just finding the object on the chart and opening based on that?

Thanks a million!

Are you completely sure there is not mq4 version available? fxDremma doesn't work smoothly with ex4 files.

Hi,

Unfortunately not, I have asked the developer but I don't think he wants to share this.

What do you suggest to do?

@jwabe Then I recommend you to study this threads and follow their instructions for the ex4 files:

Then cross fingers!

Hi,

The second link worked very well, thank you.

I have a differnt issue now, becaus while the indicator is visible, the EA keeps on opening trades (alerting).

I am not sure how to set it so that it should only check again on the next candle, but it needs to check per tick, so I don't want to start with once per bar?

Can you please share your project?

Hi L'andorra,

I managed to get it right! Only issue I have now, the close partially is not working, or triggering multiple times when crossing the line

Is the order correct or should it be like this:

@jwabe Remove the 'once per trade' block and specify cnadle ID 1 on both operands of the condition block.
