Re: MT4 Indicator requests and ideas

Your strategy describes entry points. Since your main reason for automating this is because you will not be in front of the pc all the time, you would need automated Take Profit and Stop Loss. What is your idea for these? Your automated trading system will not be complete without these 2 components.

One further point, I see grey areas in you strategy, "if" and "might". For the EA automation you would need to be precise, black or white only, no area for non-mandatory conditions.

I'm sure there's already an EA y'all coded online, but I can't seem to find it since it is really hard to search on the groups.
I'm looking for alerts and arrows to tell me when to buy and sell. I'm not always by my computer, so I usually miss the opportunity to buy or short. Everything can be adapted by users. If there was a way to combine all of this data into 1 new indicator that would be awesome!

Settings:
PSAR (GOLD) = 0.1, 0.4 (super fast)
PSAR (PURPLE) = 0.02, 0.2 (default)
ADX = 14 (can make higher if want to, but 14 is good); Levels at 20, 25, and 50
MACD1 = 3EMA, 10EMA, 16Signal
MACD2 = 12EMA, 26EMA, 9Signal
200EMA (GREEN)


(IDEAL) LONG SIGNAL
1. 200 EMA below price on D1. (Preferred and safest for risk, but not mandatory)
2. 200 EMA below price on H4. (Preferred and safest for risk, but not mandatory)
3. 200 EMA below price on M30. (Preferred and safest for risk, but not mandatory)
5. On M30 chart:
a. MACD1 & MACD2 have to cross above Signal below 0.
b. ADX crosses or is above 20/25
c. +DI crosses or is above -DI
d. +DI crosses or is above 20/25
e. GOLD PSAR (0.1, 0.4) is below the price
f. Optional that PURPLE PSAR (0.02, 0.2) is below price

(IDEAL) SHORT SIGNAL
1. 200 EMA above price on D1. (Preferred and safest for risk, but not mandatory)
2. 200 EMA above price on H4. (Preferred and safest for risk, but not mandatory)
3. 200 EMA above price on M30. (Preferred and safest for risk, but not mandatory)
4. On M30 chart:
a. MACD1 & MACD2 have to cross below Signal above 0.
b. ADX crosses or is above 20/25
c. -DI crosses or is above +DI
d. -DI crosses or is above 20/25
e. GOLD PSAR is above the price
f. Optional that PURPLE PSAR is above price

The way this system works is as follows:
1) Look at D1 and H4. Make sure they are trending the same way. Use 200 EMA to help build trend. I also create my own S/R lines using D1, H4, H1, and M30. Sometimes M15 if I'm feeling it.
2) On M30, make sure 200EMA is below price (for long) or above price (for short) - this is only if it is in tandem with D1 and H4 200 EMA. This creates the most sure 1st check, especially for pairs with huge spreads. Otherwise, sometimes I will still trade depending on other factors like S/R & Fibo, and the next steps in my system.
3) Check if MACD1 has or had appropriate MACD/Signal cross at some point in relevant potential trend. MACD crosses below Signal above zero for shorts; MACD crosses above Signal below zero for long. This signal catches potential trends faster than MACD2 (the default settings).
4) Check if MACD2 has or had appropriate MACD/Signal cross at some point in relevant potential trend. MACD crosses below Signal above zero for shorts; MACD crosses above Signal below zero for long. This signal is usually slower than MACD1, but it tells me that I definitely should go to the next step.
5) Check ADX(14). If ADX line is above 20 (25 is better), then place long trade when +DI line crosses above -DI AND +DI is above or crosses above 20 AND -DI is below 20. This tells me that uptrend is strong and I will buy on the spot as long as Gold PSAR is below candle. I will definitely buy should Purple PSAR also be below candle. If ADX line is above 20 (25 is better), then place short trade when -DI line crosses above +DI AND -DI is above or crosses above 20 AND +DI is below 20. This tells me that uptrend is strong and I will buy on the spot as long as Gold PSAR is above candle. I will definitely buy should Purple PSAR also be above candle. ADX and PSAR just double check each other. Gold PSAR is faster than Purple PSAR. [It is especially best when Gold PSAR (and Purple PSAR) switch positions.]

The ADX(7) indicator I use only if I feel like being a bit impatient, or if I want earlier confirmation of the trend strength. It's faster than the ADX(14), so I'll review the ADX(7) in tandem with the ADX(14). I prefer using it when ADX and +DI or -DI are above 30, but will use it if they are above 20. It's a riskier move, but I'll sometimes use it.

In the chart, you'll see where I would prefer to see the alerts and arrows (or have bot trade).
Purple vertical line - I might have traded only because ADX(7) -DI line went to 20.
All red vertical lines I definitely would have shorted since all indicators are where I want them to be.
All blue vertical lines I would strongly consider going long. Everything looks great except that 200EMA is above price, not below. If I was still watching this pair, I probably would have taken another buy trade where the blue arrow is from the TDFI indicator, or the candle next to it. However, that's only because of the spread. If it was a bigger spread I probably wouldn't take it at the blue arrow.

Please let me know if you can help. Happy to provide and learn other information from y'all! Excited to share information.

Thank you so much!


Re: MT4 Indicator requests and ideas

I have an idea for a button "wrangler"/"magnet".

It seems like many/most of the "Indicators with ON/OFF buttons" are built very similarly under the hood which may make it easier to create something which works well with them.

Would it be possible to create a "master" button which could wrangle/box/fence/mount/bind/collect/arrange/organize all other buttons (or allow the user to select/designate specific buttons) into a friendly, customizable, drag-able and collapsible UI of sorts?

Now that I've written it out it sounds like a tall order...lol.

But as I am sitting here working on my setup I'm thinking how handy it would be to hide/show many buttons with a click, and drag them around if need be.

Maybe it could also have an option to toggle other buttons on/off as well; you could tell it to optionally activate/deactivate certain buttons in addition to hiding/revealing them so that with a single click you could reveal/hide and turn many indicators on/off at once.

Really just a big magnet button which all the other buttons will stick to and can be moved around and hidden by. I hope I'm making sense.

It sounds very "pie-in-the-sky" and I don't really know the limits of mt4, but its an idea which came over me and I thought I would share. I'm sure something similar has been considered before.

Alternatively would it at least be possible to code a single new button which will hide/reveal all existing (or user definable?) buttons? An on/off button for the on/off buttons? Maybe more realistic.
