Trend EA

Hi everyone,

​I have an interesting trend strategy for daily charts here, and I need some help putting it together in SQX. It is based on a combination of several technical indicators.

​Important note right off the bat: The Slope Direction Line and Accelerator (AC) are custom indicators, but both are available directly in the SQX CodeBase, so they can be easily imported.

​I have the basic rules, but I need some help translating them into SQX blocks. Additionally, I want to add ADX and ATR filters to avoid entering during choppy markets.

​Here is the exact definition of the basic rules:

​1. Indicators Used (Timeframe D1)

​Slope Direction Line: (Custom indicator available in SQX CodeBase)

​Awesome Oscillator (AO)

​Accelerator Oscillator (AC): (Custom indicator available in SQX CodeBase)

​Stochastic: (5, 3, 3)

​Parabolic SAR: (0.03, 0.2)

​2. Entry Conditions for LONG

​Entries are always executed on the OPEN of the next bar, once a closed candle meets ALL of the following conditions:

​AC: rising (green histogram in the platform).

​AO: rising (green histogram in the platform).

​Stochastic: Main line (K) is above the Signal line (D) – both are pointing up, ideally below the 80 level.

​Slope line: rising (blue line in the platform).

​PSAR: dot is located below the candle.

​3. Entry Conditions for SHORT

​Entries are executed on the OPEN of the next bar after meeting all of the following:

​AC: falling (red histogram).

​AO: falling (red histogram).

​Stochastic: Main line (K) is below the Signal line (D) – both are pointing down, ideally above the 20 level.

​Slope line: falling (red line).

​PSAR: dot is located above the candle.

​4. Exits (Stop Loss and Profit Target)

​Initial Stop Loss: Set to the current value of the Parabolic SAR indicator.

​Trailing Stop Loss: The SL is moved when the AO changes color. For example, in a LONG position, if the AO changes from green to red (the histogram starts falling), the SL is trailed just below the LOW of that specific candle.

​Profit Target: The original strategy uses a rather specific formula to calculate the TP distance:

​For LONG: TP = (CLOSE – LOW) / 2

​For SHORT: TP = (HIGH – CLOSE) / 2

​5. My Adjustments – Filters to Add

​I would like to improve this basic logic in SQX and test it with additional filters, which is where I need some help:

​ADX Filter: I want to condition the entry so that the market must be in a strong trend (e.g., ADX > 20 or 25).

​ATR Filter: I would like to use ATR either to filter out low-volatility markets (only trade when ATR > X pips), or ideally, replace the original weird TP formula with a target based on an ATR multiple.

​Does anyone have an idea how to elegantly set up the Trailing SL condition based on the AO color change (rising/falling) in SQX? And how to properly configure those CodeBase indicators in Custom Blocks? Also, what would be the best way to incorporate the ADX/ATR filters so it makes sense on D1 charts?

​Thanks in advance for any advice or templates!
