I need help in getting the following codes to an EA i tried my best but i could not finish it please is there anyone that can help me out ?
I am trying to compile the EA using MACD plus 6 and 12 close period Exponential Moving average for my signal manually via a multi time frame of 4 hours, 1 hour and 15 minutes chart as follows :
BUY POSITION : Once the MACD on 4 hours, 1 hour and 15 minutes chart confirms a positive divergence and the 6 close period EMA crosses the 12 close period EMA upwards on the 15 minutes chart, that gives a sure BUY signal with Take Profit of nothing less than 50 Pips for the trade.
SELL POSITION : Once the MACD on 4 hours, 1 hour and 15 minutes chart confirms a negative divergence and the 6 close period EMA crosses the 12 close period EMA downwards on the 15 minutes chart, that gives a sure SELL signal with Take Profit of nothing less than 50 Pips for the trade.
You will add a trailing stop of 25 pips. I use FXOPEN, FG TRADER, ALPARI, FXDD and IBFX.
I mainly trade GBP/JPY and EUR/USD. All i could code is bellow, please help me out in correcting and completing it :
