MT Coder looking for ideas

[benalmador]

hey, guys, if you got ideas, i got programming skills and could bring more skilled coders into it... just give us algorithms we do the coding part

Hi There
I think one of the general ideas here is to build an EA that will open a hedge trade the same time that FAP opens a trade. With adjustments for the obvious and trailing etc.?

[lorddave]

Even better if the above hedge was coded directly into FAPS, so it can be back tested!

The thing I would really like would be a Trailing stop that didnt kick in until 20 pips profit, so I could set my TP to 40, with a TS of 5 but not have the SL set until I have a minimum of 20 pips profit. So that I dont end up with alot of trades with like 1 pip profit (like the existing system does!)

I've been forward testing it on my live account...doesn't work

it's like they trade against it...hit my s/l more than I got to take profit:(

Try this very simple EA (not FAP related)

When price moves up through 21 period MA buy
When schotastic goes down to oversold sell

Vice versa for sell

should work on any timeframe any pair
would you make these available here for testing and usage?

I'd like to see an expert that will record trades by writing them to a .csv file every five minutes or so as they happen so that we can see (without staying up all night staring at the computer) if typical winning trades go into drawdown, and if so, by how much. I suspect that the average winning trade by FAPS doesn't go very negative before becoming profitable, and accordingly it would make perfect sense to set a stop-loss of 50 to 100 PIPs to prevent these occasional monster 200 to 350 PIP losses I see reported here.

Would it be of any use if you coded the ultra trend indicator directly into faps, and have faps with its current internal indicators only enter trades with a final confirmation based on the direction of the trend?

Can any one guide me to where i can learn to de-compile EA's
