How to make price PullBack EA.
It is a lot of meanings what price PullBack can be, here is one of them based on 3 exponential moving averages:

and here is my example of EA in fxDreema how to make this one with more additional settings:

https://fxdreema.com/shared/1IpxvLruc

I added few next options, like "OnlyOneTradeMainCross" if true, only one trade is taken on main cross and after that wait for next main cross
EMA20 x> EMA40 for main UP (buy)
EMA20 x<EMA40 for main DN (sell)
if OnlyOneTradeMainCross is false, more trades are opened on one cross and for simplify cross is not needed, only condition EMA20>EMA40(buy), or EMA20<EMA40(sell)
next option is InversePullBack, this option is probably bad named, but when it is false it wait for cross: EMA3 x> EMA20 and next condition EMA3>EMA40 for buy
when it is true pullback for buy is when EMA3<EMA20
With "BuyTrade" or "SellTrade" selected as false can be trading buy/sell disabled.
These additional options shows you, how to make more alternatives for EA easily switched in EA settings.

Default EA settings for above described strategy:

Demo trades from EA:
start of Sell

completed Buy:

In other tutorials you can find how to work with buttons. Using buttons you can create this EA for better manual control.

have fun!

here was some question and answer about it ...
https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/4546/simple-question-print-objects-multiple-times-on-initialization-of-indicator

for next candles (created in future) create conditions in on Tick ... but for history candles in on Init ...
but it is not exactly as indicator, it still as EA ....

... I dont need your money, I am not doing this for money ...

take this EX file indicator and import it into your indicators, - it import only its name (because it is ex file and not mq), for this reason you need type all input parameters manually:

continue with adding all buffers, numers are enough:

click update and your indicator is in fxdreema

create easy logic to test your indicator:

and you see, that all is working:

always observe in details how indicator is working with all buffers, in this case you need take value from candle 1 (because candle 0 have no indicator data - it is seen from chart) ... hope you do it right ...

not sure if it is ok, in tester is working ...

0_1491005820220_pavs-indicator-buffers.mq4

important note: this is not about profitable EA, it is about custom martingale principle, do all tests only in tester or demo ...

People are repeating question how to create martingale system.

In this tutorial I will describe how to create simple, but less stable martingale. This is one method is ugly but is simple and is working in tester.
Criteria:

• separate buy and sell
• buy trade is opened when fast MA crossed slow MA in up direction, opposite for sell
• trade closed on fixed SL/TP
• when trade is closed on SL, multiply volume for next trade by custom multiplier
• perform lots reset when calculated lots value is more than some reset limit (skip reset when value is 0)
• also reset lots on TP

Lets start:
Open new empty project:

Create few input parameters:

Create few variables:

In on Init section reset variables by lotsStart value:

In on Tick section add few blocks based on condition, if there is no trade (separate for Buy/Sell) than open trade with variable lots:

Opposite for sell:

Continue in on Trade section:
Learn basic math and use custom code block in simpliest way for your math and add custom code ... for our example the logic criteria are:

• when trade is closed on SL, multiply volume for next trade by custom multiplier
• perform lots reset when calculated lots value is more than some reset limit (skip reset when value is 0)
  

Do few changes for sell:

And rest of blocks for TP reset:

Run your EA in tester and you can see, that buy and sell are mixed and hard to find if martingale is working:

Think about input parameter for selecting trade type (only buy, only sell, or both), name this parameter tradeType and value 1 can be buy, value 2 can be sell, and 0 will representing both ... and add condition blocks into your logic:

Now test it. In EA settings (in metatrader tester) set tradeType = 1 (for only Buy trades) :

Results are now much better to read:

Graph shows that we should consider to lower lotsReset value,

try lotsReset 0.17 .... see, slightly better, but still in loss, just martingale

try combined with sell, .... not much changed

anyway, this was not about profitable EA but about simple custom martingale ...

what you are doing? because it is working for me ...

... do you have in metatrader indicators folder this pavs-indicator-buffers.ex4 indicator? because missing indicator can do this issue ...

@roar .... start thinking about adx indicator .... turn off main line and stay only with +DI and -DI

it is also one of best indicators to measure currency strength (along with bollinger bands % change)

for this I dont know simple solution without manual adding enum things into code (if drop-down is must) ...
but if you dont need dropdown and simple text is enough, than this:

create inputs and add them into each management mode:

when you are complete with each mode, add management as input:

and than these text values are names of modes which you add into expert properties manually in this order:

fixed
equity
balance
freemargin
block-equity
block-balance
block-freemargin
equityRisk
balanceRisk
freemarginRisk
fixedRisk
fixedRisk
1326
dalembert
fibonacci
labouchere
martingale
sequence

and you change it with typing as this in EA:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
in case you need it as dropdown list, this is manual editing/adding in code:
in fxdreema this:

this:

this in on Init section:

generate only mq4 (not ex4)
with metaeditor add this enum structure into top of code above inputs:

click compile button in metaeditor and hopefully it compile without errors, this is result:

problem with this manual editing in metatrader code is, that each time you generate mq4 code from fxdreema, you need do all manual changes in code with metaeditor again and again - and this is why it is not very elegant

Re: How to use ZigZag [advanced]
https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/8876/tend-line-with-zigzag-indicator-does-t-work

A small update how to draw Trendlines based on ZigZag in FxDreema, based on my old, very old raw trick for browsing zigzag values

As I said many times, ZigZag is tricky, ZZ sometimes overpaints itself, ZZ is not simple. Some users expect results within an hour and give up in the next hour, some will last longer. Thus is the success defined... just kidding Here you go:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/Cxy4NP1Ub

Many combinations, not all shown, some overlaps over time
choose the ones that suit you the most or create a new one

an old trendline can be specified as obsolete (or deleted) using the right logic ... I haven't added it here, let the user bother

this into inputs (string Timeframes is only for info) :

this into variables:

in on Init:

if(TF_input == 0) { TF_used = 0; } //current
if(TF_input == 1) { TF_used = 1; } //M1
if(TF_input == 2) { TF_used = 5; } //M5
if(TF_input == 3) { TF_used = 15; } //M15
if(TF_input == 4) { TF_used = 30; } //M30
if(TF_input == 5) { TF_used = 60; } //H1
if(TF_input == 6) { TF_used = 240; } //H4
if(TF_input == 7) { TF_used = 1440; } //D1
if(TF_input == { TF_used = 10080; } //W1

in on Tick:

(just use variable for timeframe)

this technique can be used also for other specific parameters where optimization and its static increment is not enough (different periods - like 13, 34, 82)

to guide you what to do:

• consider custom code block
• use an array variable big enough to all the lines
• find an increment how the name is changed
• using for loop you can fill this array with each value from all the lines
• create another loop which will loops through the array of values, use a condition inside the loop to find the position of price, when the condition is true, break this loop and finally you have the "i" increment from the loop ... based on this increment you have the position of your desired values from the array ...

this is an example based on the steps + in addition it plots the lines (from which it gets the values, for you it is done with indicator, so change the functions accordingly)

https://fxdreema.com/shared/qfIGAMlVc

this is only for drawing lines:

a tolerance should be added (to eliminate price fluctuations around the line, but this is the task where you can play :D)
...
by the way, the whole code can be converted into blocks, but it takes a longer clicking time and I don't have it ... moreover, in my past replies about working with loops is covered almost everything

almost any automated hedge system will be very complex and you may not avoid a custom code (even looping) ... it may take several days (or months, or years, based on experience and complexity) to create such a workable hedge system, and you will learn that the hedge system is not a good way to go, it's just postponing an unavoidable crash
I think there is no active automated hedged system that would offer benefits, 1/3 of them are just an overcomplicated SL/TP, the next 1/3 is martingale, and the rest will be a random confusion

when you escape the condition 9, the ctr should be increased, otherwise the condition 3 will never be false ...

maybe there will be other things, I have not checked details ...
it is possible that the indicator is working on the timer and therefore it can caused problems in any EA

just try it in code, it is so simple although time consuming
https://fxdreema.com/shared/vcEWDohzc

here you have to fix a few things, for example if EUR crosses AUD, both will be alerted (EUR>AUD and AUD<EUR, because both are valid in for loop) ... but as I told you, there may be a problem with the indicator being recalculated (I think it is using recalculation based on timer)
or I have an error somewhere, try to debug it, I didn't try it thoroughly

this?

Try to find a moving average over CCI indicator.

I also noticed that and I have tried it, but who know how acurate it is ... only way how to check accuracy is to create some EA which is working with candle 0 and is opening/closing enough trades, run it for 1 month (must not be profitable :D) and when is that done, try this period run with tester and compare results ...

experts are part of MetaTrader platform, when you close this platform, how can trades open?

in free time I am working on tutorials where is this king of crossover explained, I share first of tutorials in one week or so

generate data in excel, save as .csv
import these data into metatrader (Tools - History center - Import)
consider some dependencies (close[1] == open[0])

at least I found, why it freezes while testing, set in blocks "pips away from open-price" parameters as this picture:

Reference price: Ask for Buy ...
Open Price belongs to... ... the parent position

... than tester works (or at least for me on simplified model) ....

this is simplified : : :
because you know ... you need create simplified model where problem is replicated ... no one from here have motivation to resolve hude projects and looking for what is not ok
