ZeroCode Sample: Create "10-Minute" Strategy Expert

[scorpion]

Hello there,

This is a tutorial to create "10-Minute" strategy expert advisor for MetaTrader 3.x. I write this for ZeroCode educational purpose only.

Since MT terminal doesn't have 10 minutes timeframe, I'm going to double the indicators parameter to make the expert works in 5 minutes timeframe instead.

Setup Indicators in Order:

1. WMA 10
2. SMA 20
3. Stoch 10 6 6
4. RSI 28
5. MACD 24 52 18

Logics:



Compile:

Stop Loss = 25

This is it... Enjoys the simple the 10-minute

Just something to add before I go to sleep I think i remember reading that the system has to be run only at certain hours, we'll need the final version of zerocode in order to make it possible for this system to work at its fullest.. Also we'll need some optimizing to make it work in either 5 minute or 15 minute since there is no 10 minute chart on metatrader but rather VTTrader

Hi, I would like to know in MQ4 how to automatically execute BUY/SELL and CLOSE of position using CCI (14) with S/L of (say) 20. The BUY execution will only start when the tick leaves 0 towards positive value and curved back to 0 value of CCI to close BUY position. SELL execution will begin when the tick leaves 0 value down to negative value and curved back to 0 value to close position. The parameter applied to HCL/3.

Thank you.

Hi there, I am newbie with MT4 platform. How to edit indicator with ex4?
Thanks

[scorpion]

Hi there

Version for MT4 is in design stage, so i guess it will take some weeks to get final. Stay tuned for all exciting features in the upcoming weeks!

How to edit indicator with ex4?

EX4s are compiled MQ4s and can't be edited - you can only edit MQ4s that make it. To change parameters you can right click on the indicator and change the properties or right click on the chart and choose indicator.
