Writing an article on "How to write a TOR for a trading robot" - page 2

"Dependent" is probably OCO (one cancel another), or SL and TP as we have
 
Rashid Umarov:

Well, you should clarify such questions right away. I didn't like the beginning right away

he was the one who sent the cartoon after the inspection.

I don't argue that I should have anticipated and asked more clarifying questions. In particular, each client must ask the question hedge or netting, and here I blundered and decided in terms of TOR that it is already clear.

I only meant that customers express themselves differently.

If you go through the terms of reference like that, you can reject 70%.

 

I see - so first and second questions on the EA :

  1. MQL4 or MQL5 ? (although this flows from the category, but it is better to ask)
  2. if MQL5 - netting or hedging ?
  3. Do I need a program for both MT4 and MT5 platforms ?
  4. market entries or pending orders ?
  5. open bar or inside bar ?
 
what are the latest builds of the editors ?

  5. do we place orders only on bar openings or inside a bar ?

1. i have never seen a wrong category

2. The terms used by clients are often unknown, this may have to be explained differently. I would also need a broker, if the account is specific. For example for MT4 I have seen ECN accounts where order may be divided by broker, Boo where you have to indicate the comment and so on may have peculiarities. Mt5 - basically it is a stock exchange or not, if it is not forex, then it is better to test at the specified broker immediately.

3. I haven't seen it, I think people who think about it do. If you have not met a forex broker, it is better to test it at once on the specified broker. 3.

I have not seen any problems with 4.5 either. The order is called order, but it is not a problem.

Conclusion

...



 

I want to share my current concerns.

Unlike an indicator, the functionality of a trading robot can be divided into two big parts.

1. Trading one.

If you take the analogy of a car, it is a "cart with a motor". And as a rule, it is this zone that most non-programmers focus their "thoughts" on. And it is logical that the first question is how to make money.

2. security and services.

In the car analogy this is a car body, seats, airbags, headlights, etc. . In terms of the list and the variety of options may be even more than the actual trade part.

To narrow down the possible variety, for newbies, in this part, I think it's right to give some examples of robots, for example from the code base, "ideal/template" in this part.

For example, conventionally.

Robot for Market.

Robot for trading from VPS.

A robot for trading from personal computer with notifications.


And for these groups, list the specifics in the form of a questionnaire: need/don't need.

Also true. At the moment, the Article Plan has a "What women want" style bias. It should be more technical - a description of the terms and signals for entry, the rest is a binding - how to play with signals, what stops/stops to place, what lot to trade.

We need to think about it and reconsider.

 
A humble imho. Types and types of Expert Advisors are classified based on certain criteria. For example, by the number of symbols - mono- and multicurrency, by the trading signal source - indicator, nonindicator, etc.
And in the current form, everything is lumped into one group. This makes it difficult to understand. One wonders "Why did the author put these types of EAs together?"
 
The concept of the article is still being rethought.
