The reason why I'm asking this is sadly I've now resigned to the fact that I will, in good time, not be able to use the mt3api. As such I would be grateful if anyone can offer some help with this.
On another note, I've been using a number of strategies that I've picked up from various places and modified slightly and have proved very succesful over the last few months.
EMA breakout
-----------------
For Long:
Create channel using EMA(34) on high and EMA(34) on low. At the end of each candle, if the prev candle's close is inside the channel and the current close is above the EMA(34) high, go long IFF (CCI(x) > 100 AND MACD hist > () + threshold))
Simple SAR
--------------
for long:
just use parabolic sar with standard parameters and go long/short when the position flips AND CCI(x) > 100
This works extremely well due to the fact that the filtering via macd and cci help decrease the number of losing trades and the fact that I've employed a dynamic chandelier exit strategy based on age of trade
