Hello, I am wondering if I could program my strategy with this software or is it too complex?

The only indicator used in my strategy is a 50 period HOURLY simple moving average. I look at the 4 hours before the London open. If price closes under the 50 SMA the last bar before London opens I only take shorts, and if price closes above the 50 SMA the last bar before London opens I only take longs. Once London opens I will go long or short when price breaks the top or bottom of the pre-opening 4 hour range by 1 pip. For my stop I take the total of the 4 hour pre-opening range and divide that by 2. I take I dynamic trailing stop of whatever that number is. I let these trades ride until they are stopped out, unless it’s a Friday then I will close the trade 15 minutes before the market closes if I’m still in the trade. No more than 1 trade per day for each pair. If the pre opening range is 100 pips or larger I do not make a trade that day.

Hey Tomas. I made the changes. I ran a visual test and for some reason it never triggered any positions. I am running it on my demo account now and i’ll see if it triggers any positions today.

Hey Tomas no positions were triggered this morning. I must have messed something up.

Tomas-Thanks for the response the other day, is that a strong possibility that it can be done or more of a maybe? and do you have any links in your support help documents that I can read up on that reference calculating vales from horozontal lines drawn in this case pivot levels and using those values as conditions.

You’ll have to give me some instructions on how to do that.

I actually deleted the EA after I made the changes and it wasn’t working. All I can do now is go back and download the original copy on this thread.

When you get trial for StrategyQuant it can be also used for EA Wizard but only on the same computer

 

I attached an example in EA Wizard on how to calculate Pivot Price for today’s session. It is calculated like (Prev Day High + Prev Day Low + Prev Day Close) / 3 and stored into variable for later usage

Hey Tomas it seems I got my EA working, but it won’t work in visual backtests and i still need to enable shorts. Should i get the trial version of EA wizard and try to enable shorts that way? Thanks

Thank you Tomas I’ll be working on incorporating that part into the strategy once I figure out what I sent to you in private
