I am also a fan of the turtle method.
I found on this forum a programmer who made a very good job on an EA dedicated to the turtle method. The EA is very promising but need to be developed again but by some one who has good knowledge in programming. My problem is that the person who made this EA seem to have given up the project because he does not answer any more on the thread he initiated himelf about his EA.
So i would like you to read the thread and to have a look on the EA and tell me if you could be interested to continue the development and testing or not.
I'm currently testing it in a demo account and it's very promising in opening positions but not very good in closing them. this is the point to work on

here is the link of the said above thread: MY TURTLES EA - need Testers

thanks for reading me

Regards,

Jonathan

What problem does it have with the closing of positions?

Hello, thanks for your question.

i don't know if you tried to run the EA attached to the link i gave in my previous post.

This system is quiet good when it open positions (tendancial system, so buys highs and sell lows) and we have most of the time some profit which turns quickly in a lost.

the real pb is that we want to surf the tendance and that means no target profit and large stop loss to avoid to get with noises of the market.

the person who programed the EA developed a lockinprofit which locks automatically pips according to parameters you give to this function (30% of the profit when this one is higher than 50 pip are the by default settings). But it is not suficient.

He also programmed a breakeven funtion but, seems that it does not work. (i have winning trades running now but stop loss did move to break even point).

i would need some persons to help, test, share and develop this promising EA like i try to do without real programming skills

i give an ex of trades that are good in the linked picture

Thank You, codersguru, for Your helpful answer.
I have one more question:

if(bid == 122.15)

I want to replace 122.15 by current market price.

Is there any function that determines current market price?

Thank You. Because of You, I can finally program
MQL4.

I will take a look at it when I have a chunk of free time. Not really sure when that will be though...

The "Bid" and "Ask" variables are two of the easiest way to get the current price.

Thank You!

It doesn't open any order at all?

I hope someone can help me with something I initially thought would be quite straightforward. I wanted to put an audible alert on an indicator that actually comes with Metatrader so that when it reaches a particular level it will tell me. The indicator is Force Index however I can not find an MQ4 file for it anywhere in the Experts/Indicators folder. Does anyone have an idea where I could locate the file?

If I can find the mq4 file would I be right in assuming I can use the code given by Codersguru at the beginning of this thread to add an alert to it?

thanks

I have managed to solve my problem from above post.

Thanks to all for interest.

You cannot buy at bid price.
