narrow range breakout ea

expertadv 2020.04.23 05:14

I am making narrow range with last four candles in narrow range and enter buy if high crosses above narrow range created by last four candles.

Its very simple ea.

created ea with help of online ea generator, but it has limitations so

high low within 2 % OF LAST FOUR CANDLES 
simple code is as follows 

MAX(HIGH,4) < (HIGH,0) * 1.02 AND 
MIN(LOW,4) > (LOW,0) * 0.98 AND
VOLUME > REF(VOLUME,1)*1.5 AND
CROSSOVER(HIGH,MAXOF(HIGH,4))

MQL CODE IS AS FOLLOWS

It helps if you indent your code properly and remove the unnecessary empty lines. It will make it easier for others to read.

Post in the correct location.

MAX(HIGH,4) < (HIGH,0) * 1.02 AND 
MIN(LOW,4) > (LOW,0) * 0.98 AND
VOLUME > REF(VOLUME,1)*1.5 AND
CROSSOVER(HIGH,MAXOF(HIGH,4))

No idea what crossover does. If the current high (or Bid) is above the previous high(s) then hasn't it crossed over?

I know it is a good brain exercise for mql coders here.

I know its difficult for me but if anybody have knowledge and can spare a min to resolve.

i will be more happy.

what seems easy to anybody can be difficult for another one so just tell if you know the answer to my questions.,if not even then also i will be happy and find a way out but that is secondary plan .

Get the HH(4), the LL(4) The range is the difference. Buy if Bid goes above HH + 1% of the range.

Show us your attempt (using the CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.
