Need help to build an EA

[jomo10]

I want to build an EA that operates off a 15m chart that only buys, and sells after a certain amount of pips are gained. There must be able to have multiple trades. I am unsure how to start it off e.g. on the charts tab, or ticks tab and what the first block would be. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance

Best place to start is watching youtube videos, then read the tutorials/examples here on fxdreema.

No problem. Could you please be a bit more detailed about the strategy you want?

[jomo10]

The strategy as follows:
1.Runs on a 15m chart
2. Only takes long positions
3. Sells after 30pips profit
4. Works on candle highs/closes
5. Strategy :- Candle high (0)>=high (1)+20pips in an upswing, and in a downswing - close (0) <=high(1)-20.
6. Must be able to take multiple trades
I hope this helps.
Thanks in advance

I see. Why long trades only? I don't see which symbol could be interesting for thatkind of strategy.

[jomo10]

Just testing a theory ATM. Looking at ALSI futures

[l'andorrà]

Not sure I understand it. If you are looking for buys only why point 3 says sells after 30 pips profit?

Could you please upload a screenshot with a simple diagram showing the big picture?

[jomo10]

It's becoming obvious that you have no clue how to address this problem, or you are seeking my strategy. So thanks for wasting my time.

Building an EA is not something you just pull out of thin air, it requires exact thinking, so I do not think your comment is realistic or kind.

[jomo10]

I agree with you wholeheartedly, however, I have given all the specs and just need some guidelines on how to start it, not write the entire EA. My apologies if you find it unkind.

@jomo10 that's not a wise way to speak to someone who helps everybody here. He even gave away a profitable EA in another thread. And he does it for free.

Only because he didn't understand you right away or quickly is not reason to say "thanks for wasting my time"

We all treat each other respectfully here, and you are going to need more help down the road, so be kind ; )

@jomo10
The problem is not him misunderstanding you, but you using wrong vocabulary.
When you say : 3. Sells after 30 pips profit, i think you rather mean : 3. Close position after 30 pips profit. Because the term "sell" hasn't the same meaning on forex market than when you sell a piece of bread IRL.
Moreover when he tells you that it's maybe not a good strategy, he knows what he's talking a bout, and so you should maybe consider it..

My sincere apologies to all concerned including the chappy trying to help me. Thanks all for pointing out my communication errors and not seeing the whole picture. It was just a bad day for me and I should have curbed my emotions. Please let me know if you are still available to assist. Regards

[l'andorrà]

Sure! Do you have any initial project to begin with?

[jomo10]

@l-andorrà . Thank you for your understanding. I would like to send you a copy of the bot I have made so far, but do not know how to share it. Do you know how?

[jomo10]

Hi l-andorra, I attach screenshots of the strategy for you to have a look at. I hope it helps. Thank you

Go to the builder and then:

Projects --> Create a shared copy (web link) --> select it an then copy - paste the URL here

Hi L'andorra, Herewith shared link.

My idea is to trade the DE30 in ZAR, utilising ZAR 1 per point.
Thanks

You need to copy here the whole URL, not just that part ;).

@marianomartinez can you point me to the thread where he gave away the EA?....
