Hi, Karputov
Is it possible to make a candle timer indicator that issues an audio alert at five seconds before candle close?
Actually, I am always against such a timer because of such situations: daily candle, Friday - you expect that the "end" of the candle will be at 23-59, but the trading ended at 23-00. In this case, you will not receive any alerts.

OK
I respect your opinion
Hello dear Vladimir,
the idea is simple, a trailing stop base on horizontal line from ichimuko's kumo and kijun-sen (search from 104 [or more] candle until now)
Buy position: we choose one fix number for trailing stop (for example 10pip) and trailing stop choose first support from flat kijun-sen or kumo under it
candle close price - 10pip > first support from Ichimuko (=SL)

YOU can show a screenshot with the indicator (the main condition: the chart must be on a WHITE BACKGROUND, if the chart is on a black background, I will not even look)
Hello Vladimir/Everyone,
I have a semi-automated trading system I have been using successfully in my forward testing and would like to share it while seeking assistance with coding it into an EA for MT5.
The algo goes like this:
System type: MA crossover
Fast MA: 10 (EMA)
Slow MA: 50 (Smoothed)
Lot size calculation: Percentage based on Balance
SL calculation: ATR multipled by set SL multiplier (e.g. 1.5)
TP calculation: ATR multipled by set TP multiplier (e.g. 5)
Entry: Fast MA crosses over slow MA
Exit: Opposite signal generated or TP Hit
pretty basic EA programming needed...Which I unfortunately can't do :(
Will be very grateful if anyone can help me out with building this EA. I use it to scalp the Step Index on***, works best on the M1 timeframe.

While there are no clarifications from you, I will compose a simple code: it checks the signal at the intersection of two iMAs. It has neither Stop Loss nor Take Profit. If a signal is received and there is an opposite position, the opposite position will be closed.

Hi Vladimir,
Sorry for the late reply, still hodling down a day job lol. Thank you for the work done so far.
The SL and TP are calculated using the ATR of the current timeframe. For example, if the the ATR for that instrument is 10, and the SL multiplier is set at 2, then the SL will be 10 x 2 = 20. Same logic applies for the TP.
I'll go ahead and test V.1.000 regardless and share feedback ASAP
UPDATE: The open, close and reverse orders logic is working as intended. Last critical part is auto-position size and SL and TP calculation. Just to reiterate, the postion size is based on the account balance (by percentage input) and is caluclated in relation to the SL size.
