I have done some simple EA, but this one is a bit trickier for me. Here's what I want to do.
I will run through my charts and mark important support and resistance I want to trade and create horizontal lines at that price manually
For a Buy
I would like an EA to watch for price breaking the line up
when candle closes above the line wait for pullback and respect the line
then when price breaks the high that the candle that broke line created I want to enter a buy
Ideally SL would be the size of the candle that broke the line or fixed
and TP would be 1:1
would like to run this on multiple charts at same time

opposite for a sell

Is this a tricky one of am I overthinking it

Thanks
Brian

@biztet Thanks, I set that in the more settings in conditions block, is that correct

OK, just about have it, one more question, when my buffer is activated, it waits for the next candle to actually close the trade, is there a way to make it close the trade as soon as it sees the buffer activate?

@biztet do I need anything in the #box
Oh I see, I would have to open the trade under a group number, that won't work as I have another EA opening trades from a paid indicator, this EA only closes, so it just has to recognize that there is a trade, then if conditions are met, close that single trade

I'll try close, instead of close trades

OK so I got it to work, I am closing trade when buffers are greater than 0, works, problem is, I think it closes all trades running, not just on the current chart. Can someone point me in the right direction, I have multiple charts open and I want it to close trades on current chart only

@biztet I understand you can't see the indicator, I was just asking in general. I have been in contact with the owner of indicator, he is going to send me a sample code to get info out of.
But to my question if I wanted to set a condition to say the buffer value is nil, then any buffer shows up to do something
would I want to look at condition, indicator appear, indicator visible, etc.
I'm learning--and appreciate your help

@biztet would I use condition? I need something like any buffer greater than 0 or with a value

Would it be possible to close a trade if I see Any Buffer Outputs, as I only have the 1 indicator running and the only buffers that get thrown should be from that indicator

@biztet I think he has some kind of lock on it thru the marketplace, thanks for trying. I sent the owner an email to see if he knows why I can't get it to work

@biztet It's a paid indicator, I don't think it repaints. I tried indicator appear and indicator visible. But using the regular indicator and custom indicator the buffer number only goes to 7.
I tried the imported indicator again with the numbers to match color again but did not work.
I tried with candle id at 0 and candle Id at 1
I'm lost. Lol

well that didn't work, tried buffer 4
is there any other way to do this, I want to close the trade if the indicator throws any buffer at all

OK maybe this --the about page on my indy says what the buffers are, but it lists 0-4, on the colors page the colors i'm seeing on my screen correlate to #4, #6, #8 and #10, would those be the buffer numbers I'm looking for

@biztet OK didn't work, I entered a buy at 1, X appeared at 2 (buffer#0), waited for 1 more candle, trade did not close

I have it running in a forward test now to see if it works, don't know how to have an EA and indicator running in strategy tester so will see, have a trade open in demo

this is what I have come up with, should this work

@biztet Thanks

@biztet di I need to use the color--don't know how to add it

@biztet Oh, OK, let me give that a try, Thanks
