@roar Million thanks for your reply and help, It works great. currently i am testing this strategy, not sure will it make money or not. BTW do you have an EA that you are using in FX and making money in the long term? please help, thanks.

@tipsywisdom
Thanks for your advise. I will explore on what you had mentioned.
to answer your questions. if a candle is engulfed and it's still valid if price not yet breached the engulfing formations. time doesn't matter.. i hope it answer your questions.
thanks for taking your time and suggestion.
Appreciate.

@jstap thanks for your reply.
How to determine the price can reverse, it may take few candles or more than 10 candles to reverse back and break the engulfing formation...Can you please advise on my concerns. thanks

@biztet Yeah , Look like need to store value of the previous engulfing formation and once price break those mentioned level, enter trade..
I am still struggling what the next step to develop this. lol

@tipsywisdom
Hi Tipsy, thanks for asking, we skip this morning and evening star.. My new strategy as follows :
Buy on the bearish engulfing fail :
**

• conditions:**
  Wait for Bearish engulfing fail to form, after some time, the price not able to push down, instead the price reverse and push up and price close above the bearish engulfing fail candle, then trigger to buy and stop loss will be bearish engulfing candle low.

Sell on the bullish engulfing fail :
**

• conditions:**
  Wait for Bullish engulfing fail to form, after some time, the price not able to push up, instead the price reverse and push down and price close below the bullish engulfing fail candle, then trigger to sell and stop loss will be bearish engulfing candle low.

TP will be twice of the risk taken per trade.
I will attach picture for your reference. Kindly help on this. I manual trade shows success on this...I wanted to automate. Million thanks. !

HI Everyone, I am in the progress of making EA in which,
buy criteria:

1. wait for evening star pattern to form.
2. wait for price to close above the evening star pattern.
3. enter at the next candle after break and close of the evening star pattern.

Sell criteria:

1. wait for morning star pattern to form.
2. wait for price to close below the morning star pattern.
3. enter at the next candle after break and close of the morning star pattern.

Any kind soul to help to create EA on my request,
Million thanks.

@josecortesllobat thanks.

Hi Everyone, I found this simple strategy online. Its works in manual trading. I want to get this automated. Please help to make this into EA. strategy details below:
strategy description:
Description:
This is a 3-bar setup, but only one of the bars determines its direction on the next candle. Where the first two candles will produce the PIP range for a TP Target. This PIP Range can also be used for Stop Loss Levels so this approach becomes a 1:1 reward to risk.
Buy set up:
ar (2) needs to close higher than the previous candle's high.
Bar (3) during its development, or when the candle has fully developed, price must touch Bar (2)'s open.
IMPORTANT: It MUST be the same bar type, in this case since both Bar 1 and 2 are Bull Bars, the 3rd bar must be a Bull bar on its close.
And this 3rd bar must close higher than Bar (2)'s close (preferably its high).
Enter a Long Trade/Buy on Close of Bar (3).
Calculate from the Low of Bar (1) to Bar (2)'s high.
This will act as your TP and SL Level.
Sell set up:
Bar (2) needs to close lower than the previous candle's low.
Bar (3) during its development, or when the candle has fully developed, price must touch Bar (2)'s open.
IMPORTANT: It MUST be the same bar type, in this case since both Bar 1 and 2 are Bear Bars, the 3rd bar must be a Bear bar on its close.
And this 3rd bar must close lower than Bar (2)'s close (preferably its Low).
Enter a Short Trade/Sell on Close of Bar (3).
Calculate from the High of Bar (1) to Bar (2)'s Low.
This will act as your TP and SL Level.
Attached picture of buy and sell setup for your reference.
please help to make into an EA. thanks.

@roar i tried to do it by myself, but i couldn't get it right. the issue i am facing now is, if either one of the order reached TP,

once take profit hit, the same order repeat with SL 50 and TP 3. for example: if buy order hit TP, another order of buy order will open with 50 SL and TP 3. it continuous.
if market moves in trend and 3 pips TP not triggered, and the market moves against our trade order and moves further away 10 pips, new additional order will be opened, subsequent every 10 pips. for example buy TP not triggered, market moves down 10 pips another sell order will be created and the subsequent every 10 pips. same reverse condition goes for sell trade order TP not triggered.
once overall profit is positive, all the order will be closed and start all over again from the beginning step 1.

i am struggling here, need your help on this project to complete. kindly help. thanks for your time.

@roar thanks for your help rendered. sincere thanks. will try and test it out, thanks roar.

I created on my own EA, attached the link below, it's just a begining, not sure will it work correctly or not. I also not sure how to add on the 10 pips interval to open order and also to close when profit is reached. hope some experts look into it and modify correctly, thanks.
